- CASTELLANZA: Concert of the “Gospel for joy” choir
It is called VENTI… E PIU’ and it is the concert of the GOSPEL FOR JOY choir organized, with the patronage of the City of Castellanza, for Saturday 8 June at 9.00 pm in the Church of San Bernardo in Castellanza.
The initiative, which is part of the “L’Estate in Città 2024” program of the Department of Culture of the City of Castellanza, will see performances by FABIO GALLAZZI (Director), GABRIELE TOIA (Piano), FABRIZIO FOGAGNOLO (Double bass), ETTORE ZANZOTTERA ( Percussion), Guest Star AHRES DI BENEDETTO. Presents DANILO LAMPERTI.
The Gospel For Joy choir was born in 2001 on the initiative of a group of people coming from different cultural experiences with the common desire to express through singing their belief in the Gospel and the joy of being together, but also with the aim of growing artistically immediately being guided by the expert hands of professionals in the sector.
For preparation and direction, the choir relies on the experience and enthusiasm of maestro Fabio Gallazzi with a professional approach and ambitious objectives: division of the choir into sections, study of reworked traditional gospel songs.
Thanks to the seriousness and tenacity of the group, after a few months the Gospel For Joy choir performed, arousing the enthusiasm of the public.
In the following years the choir grew both in number and in preparation, increasing its repertoire (with new and more complex pieces) and participating in numerous seminars and Gospel Connection.
The choir has performed in several concerts, broadening its experience to include the animation of Eucharistic celebrations, weddings and private parties, always enjoying great success and enthusiastic reviews in the local press.
The group’s repertoire ranges from spirituals to the most modern gospel, offering a complete panorama of the tradition of this musical genre.
“An evening not to be missed – declares the Deputy Mayor Cristina Borroni – and a concert that allows me to experience beautiful personal memories: for about ten years I sang in the Gospel For Joy choir and I know well the commitment and enthusiasm of the singers and the professionalism of the Maestro, Fabio Gallazzi”.
Entrance to the concert is free and free.
