Italy – Concert in the Basilica of St John Bosco in Rome with Mozart's Coronation Mass for choir and orchestra in the presence of the Rector Major

31 May 2024

Rome, Italy – May 2024 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Coronation Mass (K317) for choir and orchestra only was performed on Sunday, 26 May at the Basilica of St John Bosco, in the context of the celebrations for Mary Help of Christians, in the presence of Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime, 10th Successor of Don Bosco. The event was made possible thanks to the courage of the Basilica Choir, the "COR.MAX" (acronym for choir Mary Help of Christians), which tried a wonderfully complex and difficult program, ultimately victorious in this undertaking. All this thanks to the intervention of the soloists who follow and instruct the choral sections: soprano Fausta Ciceroni, tenor Maurizio Valeri, alto Beatrice Maccaroni and bass Alessio Magnaguagno. The Sabina Wind Orchestra conducted by Maestro Fabio Ginevoli, with an impressive CV of concerts and events, transcribed the Mozart work for his own ensemble and succeeded in being extremely convincing and exciting. And the emotions were the added value of this event that certainly warmed the hearts of the audience and the Rector Major, who at the end of the mass thanked the choir director, Alessio Magnaguagno, for the beautiful concert.
