Live music for cruise passengers in Palermo

Palermo is the city where East and West met: Arabs, Normans and Byzantines left churches and palaces that UNESCO has listed as a World Heritage Site, "Arab-Norman Palermo". It is also the city of the Teatro Massimo, the largest opera house in Italy.

The port and the city

The port lies right next to the old town: the Cathedral, the Palatine Chapel, the markets and the palazzi can be reached on foot or with a short ride. Just outside the city, on the hill, stands Monreale Cathedral with its golden mosaics.

In a city that lives on music and faith, a concert of Italian music or a moment of sacred music gives the group a memory that goes beyond the visit.

What to offer the group

• The Italian music concert: about 45 minutes of Neapolitan classics, serenades, Sicilian music and Ilarion's own compositions, with voice and piano or, on request, more singers and musicians. The concert programme.
• Sacred music in church: the Ave Maria and sacred music with voice and organ, for pilgrimage groups and visitors; for Orthodox groups also the Akathistos Hymn to the Mother of God.
• A musical evening or aperitif for the group, in a hotel, a villa or on a terrace.

Plan ahead

The venue is chosen with the organiser, and the available venues change with the dates. That is why it is best to write at least 6 months before the call, with the date, the ship's times, the number of people and the group's language. Ilarion sings in Italian, English, Spanish and Greek.

All the formats and the other ports are on the page live Italian music for cruise passengers and tour groups in Sicily. Other ports: Messina · Giardini Naxos and Taormina · Syracuse.

Check availability for your group, at least 6 months before the date.
