CHOIRS
Goccia di Voci It is an a cappella polyphonic choir founded in 2018 by Lorenzo Sansoni, in continuity with the Goccia di Voci choirs established in 1996 in Switzerland by Oskar Boldre. Active in Bologna, Rome, Florence, and Pisa, the choir offers its singers a complete experience: world music repertoire, choral training, concerts, and Circlesong.
A musical journey that embraces and celebrates the world’s diverse vocal traditions: from the vibrant energy of Africa to the warmth of the Mediterranean, from the evocative sounds of Eastern Europe to the rhythmic power of Haiti. The repertoire highlights these rich traditions through original arrangements and a special attention to sound quality, offering an experience that brings audiences together in a global and inclusive vision, while also inviting intimate and spiritual listening.
