pilgrims in concert
Pontifical Basilica,
the second of the four major Basilicas of Rome,
built almost 2000 years ago over the tomb of the Apostle of the Gentiles,
and for the last 1300 years the Abbey Church of the Benedictine community of Saint Paul's.
Pellegrini in concerto - pilgrims in concert
Choirs, singers, organists, orchestras,
who come in pilgrimage to Rome,
offer concerts of sacred music in the Pontifical Basilica
to pilgrims and tourists, present or by chance passing by.
Saturday morning 11:00-11:45
Always at the same time, Saturday morning 11:00-11:45;
dates to be decided with the musicians.
Free entry
pilgrims for pilgrims: free entry, no fees or expenses paid, no contribution expected, no offering requested.
If the musicians have a printed programme they may distribute it.
The Abbey of Saint Paul's outside the Walls bears the cost of lighting etc. and informs visitors about the concert by way of the leaflet "pellegrini in concerto".
If you would like to perform…
Send your proposed programme together with an acoustic sample (CD or via internet: musica@abbaziasanpaolo.net).
The technical quality of the recording does not matter: Qualifying to perform depends on the dynamic, the expression, the rhythmics and the congruence of the voices.
