Choir Day

The pandemic effectively shut down choir activity, and the passion of hundreds of thousands of people in Italy – who sing in them, accustomed to rehearsing every week, giving life to the thriving choral scene in this country, and were forced to wait it out in silence. A very sad situation indeed. Now, at long last, choirs are making music again. To celebrate, we’ve lined up thirteen performances in a single day, from morning till night, at venues located throughout the city. This extraordinary event features choirs from both Italy and abroad.
