Francis is not merely a figure to be remembered. He is a voice that keeps returning, each time in a different way.
On 26 June, in Piazza San Francesco in Lucca, this voice will take shape in music through “Francesco è vivo”, a musical journey that alternates between contemplation, expressive power and choral fervour.
From Orff’s choral works to the compositions of Fr Francesco Maria Zuccari and Fr Domenico Stella, a journey that alternates between contemplation and expressive power.
On stage, the choir of the Cappella Musicale of the Papal Basilica of St Francis of Assisi and the Orchestra da Camera Fiorentina, conducted by Fr Peter Hrdy.
A musical experience that does not remain rooted in the past, but extends into the present.
