The unavoidable Concert of the Immaculate Conception the 8th of December in Venice at the Church of San Giovanni and Paolo: the Marciana Choir.
The 8th of December 2014 at 5pm at the
Church of
San Giovanni and Paolo in
Venice is renewed again this year the appointment with the
Grand Concert the Immaculate Conception.
The
Church of San Giovanni and Paolo is one of the most majestic religious buildings of the city, considered the Pantheon of
Venice for the significant number of Venetian doges and other important characters buried there from the thirteenth century. Inside, on December 8 will perform the Marciana Choir led by Marco Gemmani.
The
Marciana Choir is one of the most old musical institutions operating in the world with a thriving historical past and a tradition marked by great composers. Drawing from his vast repertoire, accompanies by years the liturgical celebrations in
St. Mark's Church in
Venice, both in the most solemn occasions such as Easter, Christmas and the Feast of St. Mark, as at Chapter Mass on ordinary Sundays. This unique formation is one of the few remaining in Italy to perform regularly polyphony of merit during the liturgical office, continuing its own tradition.
The schedule of the concert considers musics from
Francesco Cavalli,
Andrea Gabrieli,
Alessandro Grandi and
Claudio Monteverdi.
The appointment of the concert of the Immaculate Conception in
Venice opens the campaign Tende 2014-2015 titled “
GENERATE BEAUTY” to support projects of the Foundation AVSI in Ecuador, Kenya, Syria, Sierra Leone and Iraq.
Any proceeds from the event will be donated to non-profit NGO AVSI.
