VOCI A SAN MARTINO - Verrą la primavera

13/10/2024 5.00 pm
Shrine of Madonna di San Martino
The Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Martino hosts three appointments of the second edition of the concert series ‘Voci a San Martino’, dedicated to choral music.

On Sunday, 13 October at 5 p.m., the second event will feature a performance by the Anima Vocis Choir, entitled ‘Verrà la primavera...’ (Spring will come...), whose protagonists are the Alpini, with their valour demonstrated in times of war and peace and their profound relationship with nature and the mountains. The best-known pieces of choral music dedicated to the Alpini are interwoven with the narration of stories, letters, poems and passages from novels that recount and evoke events and feelings experienced at the front and in memory of it.

The event is a prologue to the events for the centenary of the foundation of the Alpini Group of Lonato del Garda, which will culminate in February 2025 and enjoy the patronage of the Municipality of Lonato del Garda.

The review enjoys the patronage of the music associations Cori Lombardia, ASAC Veneto and ANDCI, as well as the Associazione Nazionale Alpini - Sezione di Brescia - Gruppo di Lonato del Garda.
The entrance to all concerts is free.

ANIMA VOCIS CHOIR
The Anima Vocis Choir was founded in 2019, gathering amateur choristers from the areas surrounding Lake Garda (provinces of Brescia, Verona and Mantua) interested in undertaking or deepening the activity of choral singing. Since its foundation, the choir has attended various seminars and in-depth musical stages with qualified teachers and vocalists; it participates in and organises choral music concerts in Toscolano Maderno, Lonato del Garda, Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella (VR), Desenzano del Garda, as well as liturgical celebrations (Holy Masses, weddings). The choir is directed by Andrea Pini, a graduate of the ‘P. Righele’ Academy of Choral Conducting, and its repertoire includes both sacred and secular pieces, from the Renaissance to the present day. Giulia Calovini, pianist, a graduate from the Faculty of Musicology in Cremona and a graduate from the ‘P. Righele’ Academy of Choral Conducting, collaborates in preparing and conducting the choir.

Choral music is also history: of forms, of genres but, above all, of emotions that vibrate from the Renaissance to the present day.
