About this tour
Hear the mandolin performed by Venice's only dedicated ensemble in the acoustically rich setting of the Anglican Church of St George. This 90-minute concert draws from baroque and classical Italian scores, with musicians who specialise in the instrument's centuries-old tradition. Afterwards, chat directly with the quartet about what you've heard. No amplification, no theatrics—just four skilled players and the resonance of a historic Venetian church.

What to expect
You'll settle into a pew in a centuries-old church as four musicians take their instruments and launch into repertoire chosen specifically to showcase the mandolin's range and character. The pieces shift between sprightly passages and reflective moments; the stone walls around you amplify every pluck and harmonic. This isn't background music or a showpiece for tourists—it's a straightforward presentation of what these players have studied and refined. When it ends, the musicians stick around to answer questions or simply receive your reaction in person.
