Meditation on the Cross - Concert by the Coro Città di Desio

A Lenten Concert in Desio

“Meditation on the Cross: the last seven words” is the Lenten concert by the Coro Città di Desio (province of Monza and Brianza), offered in the period preceding Easter as a moment of sacred music and meditation. The evening takes place in the Basilica of Saints Siro and Materno, the city's religious and historical heart, and accompanies the audience on a spiritual journey of singing and reflection.

Music, Word, and Contemplation

The program interweaves choral singing with Fulton J. Sheen's reflections on the last seven words spoken by Christ on the cross, featuring original music by Enrico Balestreri. This creates an event that goes beyond a simple concert: an experience of deep listening, where music and word dialogue to accompany Lenten meditation.
