Music Celebrations Presents

2011 Rome International Choral Festival
Rome, Italy
June 23 - 27, 2011

Featuring Artistic Director Dr. Z. Randall Stroope

St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican

St. Peter's Basilica, Rome

Music Celebrations International is pleased to produce the 3rd annual Rome International Choral Festival. This mass festival of American and Italian choirs will take place in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, and Rome’s famed S. Maria Sopra Minerva. The Festival is for SATB singers only and choirs will be accepted through an audition and/or recommended process.

Melded from Greek, Etruscan and Roman civilizations, Italian (Roman) culture has influenced Western thought, art, music, literature and civilization more than any other. The senses almost reel from exposure to history, architecture, art (Italy is the repository of a large percentage of the world's greatest art), and beauty unequaled anywhere else in Europe. The creativity, craftsmanship, artistic energy that made Rome great are still in full evidence in the New Millennium.

A music festival experience in Italy is a return to the roots of Western Civilization. Italy presents a glorious feast of all the senses - sound, sight, smell, taste and touch. Regardless of one’s musical tastes - classical, church, ballad, opera, chant, symphonic, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Romantic, Baroque - these roots are all found in Italy. Our musical heritage certainly was born in Italy. Italians, with help from the French, invented the system of musical notation used today.

We are excited about the musical stimulation this festival will undoubtedly provide - just the kind of experiences that raises the level of musicianship and dedication to the performing arts for all participants!
