Friday 13 March - Sunday 15 March 2026
Current version: 30 Sept 2025 - Trip details are subject to change
The trip involves a joint concert with a local choir in a church in central Turin on Saturday evening. As the churches are used daily for services, the concert will be at 9pm with a full rehearsal with orchestra earlier that evening. The first rehearsal for the choir will be on Friday from around 4pm and we hope to have a group dinner that evening. We have also found accommodation in Turin at an Ospiteria and would encourage participants to stay there so the group is together for the weekend (Fri/Sat).
Concert
The concert will be choral-based jointly with the Turin-based choir, Coro GiovaninVivaVoce, accompanied by a local ensemble, and performed in central Turin at the beautiful church Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista, C. so Vittorio Emanuele II 15, 10125 Torino.
The concert programme will last 1¼ -1½ hours. Each choir will sing a separate repertoire of around 20 minutes and as a combined choir we will sing Fauré Requiem. We will sing (extracts of) Nunes Garcia Missa Pastoril.
