Rome, Palazzo Doria Pamphilj — The Secret Apartment of the Princess
About the Event
Set within the timeless elegance of the Princess's Secret Apartments at Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, Voices of Glory invites audiences to experience the beauty and spirit of Christmas.
Celebrate Christmas through a musical journey that brings together the great European sacred tradition and some of the most beloved carols of the season.
The Cappella Musicale Floridi Doria Pamphilj, conducted by Mº Aurelio Porfiri, with piano accompaniment by Mº Massimiliano Franchina, presents a rich and varied programme spanning centuries of musical history. From Gregorian chant and medieval melodies to the evocative Christmas traditions of France, England and Ireland, and the celebrated songs of the international Christmas repertoire, the concert explores the many dimensions of this special season.
Deeply spiritual works such as Puer natus in Bethlehem, Verbum caro factus est, Tu scendi dalle stelle and Silent Night will be heard alongside much‐loved popular classics, including White Christmas, Let It Snow! and I'll Be Home for Christmas. The programme also features a selection of distinctive arrangements by Aurelio Porfiri, together with works by John Rutter and other distinguished contemporary arrangers.
The result is a celebration of the Christmas season through the expressive beauty of women's voices, the richness of musical heritage and the unique atmosphere of one of Rome's most remarkable historic residences.
More than a concert, Voices of Glory is an invitation to rediscover the wonder of Christmas through music: a meeting of faith, memory, tradition and joy, where ancient sacred melodies and familiar seasonal songs come together in an unforgettable musical experience.
