RASSEGNA CORALE LEVANTESE
SINGING WITH 4 VOICES
The Review
The festival called “Rassegna Corale Levantese” is an initiative born with the aim of spreading and making vocal music known in all its forms. The choirs are the protagonists of a concert, usually held in one of the churches of Levanto, whose organization is care by our Association.
From 1994 to 2000 the event was organized by the vocal group Musica Insieme, from 2002 by the vocal group MusicaNova.
From 1994 to 2019 164 concerts were organized, attended by Italian choirs and vocal and instrumental groups from Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Holland, Sweden, Lithuania, United States, Philippines and Australia.
Choirs wishing to attend the event can contact us from our website.
