Festival Orchestre Giovanili
FOG organises the International Festival of European Youth Orchestras – now in its 15th year – annually in Florence, Italy. In 2005 it launched the Provencal Festival of Youth Orchestras in southern France. Through local musical connections it also organises tours in Spain, the UK, Latvia and Croatia.
Festival Orchestre Giovanili is feeling excited.
