Livorno's Music Scene
Indovena, Livornese bandLivorno has an incredibly lively music scene covering all areas of music. There are music schools, choirs, classical concerts, and many young local bands trying to make their mark, some of whom already have several cds under their belts. The problem for many of these young bands is finding places to perform, as that is one thing Livorno does seem to lack. Over the next few weeks I will be featuring as many of these bands as I can, as well as all the music venues, schools, choirs, forthcoming events, and music-related businesses currently working in Livorno. If there are any I don't mention that you know about, please contact me
