Baggage Tags Be sure that each of your bags, including your check-in bag, has a completed KIconcerts baggage tag affixed. Other things to note: Airline Tickets Your airline ticket is an electronic ticket. A copy is not necessary for airport check-in as long as you have your passport and flight information.

PERFORMANCE June 25, 2016 Concert at Sorrento Cathedral, Sorrento The Sorrento Cathedral is also known as the Cathedral of San Filippo and San Giacomo. Built in the early fifteenth century, in Romanesque style, it has, subsequently, undergone various restoration projects, up to that of 1924 when the entire facade was rebuilt. The baptistery is where the most well-known citizen of the town, Torquato Tasso, was baptized. The cathedral is home to a large number of paintings of the Neapolitan school of the eighteenth century and is also characterized by an imposing bell tower.

PERFORMANCE June 29, 2016 1ST Festival Rehearsal at Ergife Palace Hotel, Sala 2000 June 30, 2016 2ND Festival Rehearsal at Ergife Palace Hotel, Sala 2000 July 1, 2016 Festival Chorus sings the Mass at St Peter s Basilica, Vatican City St Peter s Basilica is the world s largest Basilica of Christianity, nested into the heart of the Vatican City. St. Peter s Basilica stands on the traditional site where Peter - the apostle who is considered the first pope - was crucified and buried. St. Peter s tomb is under the main altar and many other popes are buried in the basilica as well. Originally founded by Constantine in 324, St. Peter s Basilica was rebuilt in the 16th century by Renaissance masters including Bramante, Michelangelo and Bernini. Page 6

PERFORMANCE July 2, 2016 Dress Rehearsal at Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli, Rome Festival Gala Concert at Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli, Rome Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, better known by its shorter name Santa Maria degli Angeli, is a unique Renaissance church in Rome. In 1541, a Sicilian priest, Fr. Antonio Lo Duca, had a vision of angels in the ruins of the Baths of Diocletian. As a result, Pope Pius IV (1559-1565) ordered that a church be built within the Baths. The church was designed by Michelangelo, who began work in 1563 but died a year later in 1564. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to the angels, and to the Christian slaves who died building the baths. Like most churches in Rome, Santa Maria degli Angeli is filled with art and monumental tombs and also has some holy relics. In the left transept, the new Chapel of St Bruno was constructed as part of the restoration works for the 1700 Jubilee. On the left side is the Meridian Line, a sundial laid down along the meridian that crosses through Rome, at latitude 15º. PASSION OF ITALY with Craig Hella Johnson Page 7

PERFORMANCE July 4, 2016 Dress Rehearsal at Santa Caterina D Alessandria, Pisa Festival Gala Concert at Santa Caterina D Alessandria, Pisa Santa Caterina d Alessandria is a Gothic-style, Roman Catholic church in Pisa. It is mentioned for the first time in 1211, then associated with a hospital. The current edifice was built between 1251 and 1300, commissioned by St Dominic himself, and entrusted to the friars of his order. Page 8
