The Festival di Pasqua is one of the most prestigious concert festivals dedicated to sacred music in the world. Founded in 1998 by Italian producer Enrico Castiglione, its aim was to create in Rome, the centre of the catholic world, a festival dedicated to Christianity's extraordinary artistic treasure.
For the past 10 years the festival has offered intense series of internationally famous, sacred music concerts, with the very best choirs, orchestras and artists from around the globe, giving us a programme of sacred works from the birth of oratory as an elevated form of musical liturgy to becoming a significant contemporary creation, but also world premiéres and rediscovered pieces, oratories, and rarely performed forgotten concerts.
Christmas will see: “Adeste Fidelis”, Schubert’s “Ave Maria”, “Angiol di pace” by Bellini, “Stille Nacht”, “Tu scendi dalle stelle” by De Liguori, “Mille cherubini in coro” by Schubert, lo “Judex” from Mors et Vita by Gounod, “Pregaria” by Alvarez, “The little drummer boy” by Simeone & Onorati, “La Virgen lava panales”, “Ave Maria” by Verdi, “White Christmas” by Berlin, “Christmas Medley” and other famous Christmas songs. With soprano Montserrat Caballè, the Coro di Voci Bianche dell’Aramus, the Coro Aramus & the Orchestra Filarmonica di Roma directed by Josè Collaudo.
