Steh des Nachts auf und schreie zu Beginn jeder Nachtwache, Schütte dein Herz aus vor dem Herrn wie Wasser. Hebe deine Hände zu ihm auf um des Lebens deiner junger Kinder willen, die vor Hunger verschmachten an allen Strassenecken! Herr, schaue und sieh doch Wen du so verderbt hast! Gedenke doch, wie ich so elend und verlassen, mit Wermut und Galle getränkt bin Du wirst ja daran gedenken; den mein...    less

Ci dedichiamo allo studio del repertorio corale sacro e profano a cappella e con strumenti ricercandone i diversi stili esecutivi . Solitamente proponiamo concerti con programmi tematici o in forma di spettacolo (la natura, l’acqua, la danza, Maria, I responsori, ecc…) per consentire al pubblico di fruire contemporaneamente della musica e dei suoi significati evocativi, religiosi, storico-culturali, aggregativi, ecc … Fin dalla nostra fondazione abbiamo svolto un’intensa attività concertistica e culturale promuovendo una costante divulgazione della musica polifonica attraverso concerti, spettacoli, lezioni-concerto, ecc.. e diversi momenti formativi con maestri di fama internazionale. Abbiamo partecipato con successo a Rassegne e Festival nazionali e internazionali: fascia oro al Concorso Internazionale Prag...    less

Sin dalla sua fondazione, il coro è diretto dal Maestro Ciro Caravano, noto al pubblico come uno dei cantanti, ma anche produttore, arrangiatore e direttore del gruppo vocale Neri per Caso nonché direttore musicale del cantante Mario Biondi. Il gruppo esegue brani celebri di musica leggera italiana ed internazionale, appositamente rivisti e riarrangiati dallo stesso direttore, in chiave “a cappella” in modo da esaltarne l’originalità dei motivi e la ricchezza dell’armonia attraverso nuove chiavi di lettura e un pizzico di ironia, che è poi uno dei tratti distintivi di questa esuberante formazione musicale. Il CoroPop è composto ...    less
