Canta-Lions

A singing competition with a heart for charity

In Trecate, in the heart of the Western Ticino area in the province of Novara, comes Canta-Lions, a charity singing competition hosted by the Lions Club Ticino Torre del Basto. The event brings a passion for music to the stage with a spirit of sharing and social commitment: all proceeds from the event are dedicated to supporting the charitable activities that the club carries out across the Piedmont region.

An evening at Villa Cicogna

The heart of the event is Villa Cicogna, one of Trecate's most beloved historic residences. Built around the mid-18th century, the villa and its park now serve as a cultural hub for the city, housing the public library and hosting numerous initiatives. Its elegant atmosphere provides the ideal backdrop for an evening of live music under the stars of the Novara summer.

Who can participate

Canta-Lions is not a competition reserved for professionals: it is open to all adults who wish to challenge themselves and experience the thrill of performing in front of an audience. The goal is to offer an opportunity for fun, sharing, and participation to anyone who loves to sing, regardless of their stage experience. It is a chance to discover new local talent while doing good.

The jury and prizes

Contestants are evaluated by a public jury, supported by a technical jury composed of professionals and experts from the music industry. They are responsible for awarding prizes and a special recognition for the best performance based on artistic and interpretive criteria. Prizes for the top finishers include musical equipment and other rewards designed for music and singing enthusiasts.
