After the first three successful events of the season, the next event hosted by ICMA at UWC Adriatic in Duino will feature the “Jacobus Gallus” Choir from Trieste. The concert will be held on Sunday, April 15th at 8.30 pm in the Auditorium of UWC Adriatic in Duino.
The “Jacobus Gallus” Choir, founded in 1991, operates within the Glasbena Matica – the Slovenian musical centre in Friuli-Venezia Giulia – and sings a vast repertoire including music by Slovenian, Italian and international composers, including church music. The “Jacobus Gallus” Choir has performed during the concert seasons of the Glasbena Matica in Trieste and elsewhere in Italy, as well as in Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Spain and Germany. In addition, they have recorded several performances for the Italian public broadcasting network Rai, and have released 3 CDs: “Naša pesem z žlahtnimi odsevi” (2003), “Božično pričakovanje” (2004: a collection of unpublished Christmas carols of Slovenian composers from Trieste) and “O Polnoči” (2007), a collection of Christmas carols by the composer Ivan Šček.
Lastly, the “Jacobus Gallus” Choir performs in the main Slovenian, Italian and European festivals and competitions (among the latest: Europa Cantat Torino 2012, the International Choir Festival Barcelona 2013, the Postojna Regional Competition, the Naša National Competition pesem in Maribor, the International Festival of Catalonia – Cantonigros 2014) and takes part in the main cultural events of the Slovenian community in Italy.
The Choir gives great importance to exchange programmes and collaborations with sister choirs in different areas (the Jakob Petelin Choir in Klagenfurt, the female choir Ensamble La Rose in Vicenza, the Corale Barbisano in Treviso, the mixed choir MusicAntiqua in Syracuse and the Corale Matilde Salvador in Sardinia). Moreover, it regularly collaborates with the choir of the USCI TS and others in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Since 2008 the Jacobus Gallus Choir has been directed by Maestro Marko Sancin.
