On Friday, December 20, 2024, the Teatro Malibran will host a heartfelt concert celebrating 50 years of the Cantori Veneziani and their enduring legacy in the Venetian cultural scene. Dedicated to the memory of Davide Liani and Mara Bortolato, this event honors the passion, dedication, and musical excellence of one of Venice’s longest-running vocal ensembles.
Featuring performances by the Coro Senior dei Piccoli Cantori Veneziani and the Laboratorio Orchestra Venezia L.O.V., the evening promises a journey through the ensemble’s storied history. The program includes highlights from the great symphonic-choral repertoire they have explored over the decades, with works by Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Puccini, and contemporary composers like Bernstein, Liani, and Jenkins.
The concert will culminate with a performance of John Rutter’s “Mass of the Children”, a modern choral masterpiece that debuted at Carnegie Hall in 2003. Its inclusion in the program reflects the ensemble’s commitment to blending timeless classics with newer works that resonate with audiences of all ages.
This event is more than a concert—it’s a reunion and celebration for all who have been part of this remarkable musical journey. Join to relive the memories, honor the past, and embrace the vibrant future of the Cantori Veneziani as they continue to inspire audiences with their beautiful harmonies and enduring spirit.
