Voices of Christmas – Musical elevation of the Epiphany
In anticipation of the concerts of the 44th Festival of Art and Ancient Music, on the day of the Epiphany
Monday 6 January h. 4.00pm
the Immaculate Choir will perform in the church of S.Bernardino in Lallio with the musical elevation “Voci di Natale”.
The musical elevation is dedicated to the figure of Monsignor Egidio Corbetta (1924-2009), director of the choir for fifty years, and whose centenary of his birth marks the centenary of his birth. The complete performance of the collection «Voci di Natale» published in 1976 by Carrara editions will be proposed, which includes some of the most famous Christmas carols elaborated by Don Egidio in collaboration with Ilio Manfredotti, editor of the texts in Italian. From Adeste fideles to Stille Nacht we will go through the 12 pieces of the collection which have become diocesan choral heritage, like many of the compositions of the priest-musician from Bergamo. In addition to the pleasant Christmas melodies, this year the song “Attesa-Evento” is also on the program.
Reservations are strongly recommended via email to info@sanbernardinolallio.it specifying surname and name, contact details and number of places booked.
Entrance is free but responsible: the donations will be used for the restoration of the external plaster of the church.
