Il Sacro in Musica — Rassegna Natalizia dei Cori Sestesi

The Christmas choir review of Sesto San Giovanni

Every December, Il Sacro in Musica fills the churches of Sesto San Giovanni, in the Metropolitan City of Milan, with music. The review, organised by the Municipality, brings together local choirs and numerous guest ensembles in a calendar of concerts that accompany the wait for Christmas, featuring sacred music, gospel, and traditional songs.

A travelling review across the neighbourhoods

The characteristic feature of Il Sacro in Musica is its travelling nature: concerts are held in various churches scattered throughout the city's neighbourhoods, enhancing the religious heritage and involving the entire community. From the Church of the Assumption to the Church of the Resurrection of Jesus, from the parish of Santa Maria Ausiliatrice to other venues, each event brings music to the heart of the Sesto districts.

Local choirs and gospel guests

The protagonists of the review are the city's choirs, joined by guest ensembles ranging from classical repertoire to gospel. The evenings feature a mix of opera choirs, vocal ensembles, philharmonic orchestras, and gospel choirs, offering a varied programme capable of appealing to a wide audience of all ages. Admission to all concerts is free.

Music and spirituality during Advent

Il Sacro in Musica is part of Sesto San Giovanni's rich Christmas programme, which includes markets, tree lighting ceremonies, and family-friendly events. The review represents the most intimate and spiritual moment of these festivities, an opportunity to gather in the city's churches and be moved by the evocative power of choral music.
