Great Music is Everywhere You Go

Doxter S says: Visit the beautiful city of Venice, Italy to experience great music everywhere you go. You don’t need to spend money to go to a concert. In Venice the concerts comes to you on as Gondola!  There’s nothing like listening to music along the canals in Venice. The buildings lining both sides provide some reverb, but with no roof there is very little echo.

This singer and accordionist can barely be heard from the lagoon.The music gradually gets louder as your gondolier guides your boat into you the canal.  Getting closer, the accordion becomes more distinct and provides the perfect soundtrack for the colorful buildings and interesting people. Then the tenor begins singing an aria that fills the entire canal with vibrant emotion.

Everyone stops what they are doing and thinking for one moment, turning their attention to this impromptu performance. This great music provides such joy that it justifies it’s own existence. When the performance reaches its finale applause can be heard coming from the near by windows on either side, the bridges at either end, and from listeners riding in the many other gondolas cursing up and down the canals.

If you get a chance to visit Venice, don’t miss the opportunity to go to one of these local performances. Let the performers know how much you appreciate their artistry with your generous applause.

Just be careful dropping them tips!
