LANCASHIRE, UK — A conductor who commutes from Bologna to Preston each week to lead a choir has said there are “more opportunities” for choral music in Lancashire.
Marco Fanti, 34, became conductor and director of the Preston Cecilian Choral Society in September.
He now makes a 2,000 mile (3,200km) round trip each week to lead the group.
The eight-hour journey includes travelling by train to Bologna airport, flying to London Stansted or Edinburgh, and catching a train to Preston.
Mr Fanti, who also teaches music at the University of Bologna, said he forgets about the long commute when he starts working with the singers, at a local primary school.
