La corale \u00e8 composta da coristi non professionisti, ma non per questo si \u00e8 mai posta dei limiti di repertorio. Nella sua pur breve storia ,si \u00e8 consolidata in diversi generi musicali, partendo dalla musica sacra e barocca per evolversi verso il repertorio lirico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group, enthusiastic and versatile, has always warmly welcomed the chance of performing works that are not strictly part of their repertoire, such as songs from soundtracks, contemporary sacred works and minor operas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to giving regular performances of the most famous pieces of the classical a cappella repertoire, it includes among its performances the great Mass in B Minor, Jesu Meine Freude <\/strong><\/em>and the Magnificat <\/strong><\/em>by J. S. Bach<\/strong>, the Requiem Mass in D minor K 626, the Coronation Mass K 317<\/strong><\/em> and the Vesperae solennes de Confessore<\/strong><\/em> by W. A. Mozart<\/strong>, the Ninth Symphony<\/strong><\/em> by Beethoven <\/strong>including performances at the Duse Theater in Bologna and the Taranto Concattedrale), the Stabat Mater<\/strong><\/em> and the Petite Messe Solennelle<\/strong><\/em> by G. Rossini<\/strong>, the Requiem<\/strong><\/em> by G. Verdi <\/strong>(performed in Leipzig Opera House, All Saints Church in Warsaw, Cesena Cathedral and Basilica dei Servi in Bologna), the \"Carmina Burana\"<\/strong><\/em> by C. Orff<\/strong> (Theaters: Duse and Manzoni Bologna, Bonci Cesena, Diego Fabbri Forl\u00ec, Masini Faenza, dei Fluttuanti Argenta) and the Passione di Cristo secondo San Marco<\/strong><\/em> by L.

Since 2017, it has been an integral part of the Varignana Music Festival choir, which is annually entrusted with the opening concert of the prestigious musical festival with the performance of various opera pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
