About Other Voices from Gaza
Three evenings for peace
«Other Voices from Gaza» is a cycle of three initiatives dedicated to peace, promoted by the Municipality of Selvazzano Dentro (province of Padua) and hosted at the San Michele Auditorium. A journey that combines music, poetry, art, and testimony to tell, through culture, the voices and stories coming from Gaza and to reflect on the value of peace.
Palestinian music, words, and art
The program brings together local choirs and musical groups, poetry readings, traditional oriental instruments, and talks by historians and scholars. Among the protagonists of the evenings are the choir Coristi per Caso, the Coro Serenissima di Vigonza, and various artists and speakers, with the presentation of testimonies and works by Palestinian artists and readings from the volume «Il loro grido è la mia voce. Poesie da Gaza».
A festival spread over time
The three evenings are spread throughout the spring of 2026, from the opening at the end of April until June, all at the San Michele Auditorium in Selvazzano Dentro. Admission is free subject to availability. The initiative is curated by the Municipal Culture Office in collaboration with local associations and choirs from the Padua area.
