Concert by the Moena choir, conducted by Maestro Ilario Defrancesco, with a highly acclaimed repertoire of sacred songs - including some in Ladin - accompanied by the instrumental ensemble of the "Il Pentagramma" school
"Canticum Novum" is a mixed a cappella choir from Moena, that celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. Founded in 1993 and directed by Maestro Ilario Defrancesco, it is made up of 32 elements coming from the Fiemme and Fassa valleys and has more than 300 concerts to its credit, with numerous national and international outings. In recent years, the ensemble has been flanking its sacred music repertoire with an ethnic programme, discovering new sounds typical of traditional songs from other cultures, European and otherwise. Great attention is paid to indigenous pieces, in particular those written by the local composer Luigi Canori, Father Frumenzio Ghetta and Stefano Dell'Antonio "Monech" and set to music by conductor Ilario Defrancesco, or unpublished contemporary pieces with texts in the Ladin language.
"Suoni Sospesi" (Suspended Sounds ) is the name of the concerts that sees the ensemble involved in a cycle of 7 appointments in 6 towns in the valleys of Fassa and Fiemme, in as many churches, playing on the acoustics and spatiality that each one offers.
At 9 p.m. in the parish church of Canazei with free admission.
