The "Sass Maor" male choir of Tonadico was founded in 1974 on the initiative of a group of young people from Primiero. Initially conducted by Don Giuseppe Seppi and, since 1981, by Tullio Dalla Sega, it is dedicated to collecting and harmonising local songs, handed down orally by the elders of the area. This cultural enhancement project has also been made possible thanks to the support of musicians who are sensitive to its social importance. During its career, the choir has performed in Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and, in 1998, on a tour of southern Brazil. In 2004, to mark its 30th anniversary, it climbed to the summit of Sass Maor (2,814 m) on foot, accompanied by mountain guides from Primiero-San Martino di Castrozza. Two years later, it took part in the international festival "I Suoni delle Dolomiti" in Val Veneggia, performing the contemporary work "Vijidaes" (Visions) by Maestro Giorgio Battistelli. Today, it has around forty members and has been conducted by Maestro Federico Orler since 2018. Its repertoire includes folk and mountain songs, original pieces, Christmas carols and religious songs.
Monday 11 August at 9.15 p.m. in the multi-purpose hall of the "La Gran Ciasa" community building in Soraga (tourist office). Admission free.
