Vallarsa Choral Review

An appointment with mountain singing in Vallarsa

The Vallarsa Choral Review is an evening dedicated to choral music that the Coro Pasubio of Vallarsa offers to its community every year in the municipality of Vallarsa, in the southern part of Trentino-Alto Adige. The event takes place in the Church of San Vigilio, whose intimate acoustics enhance the voices of the performing groups, gathering local and guest choirs from Trentino and the nearby Veneto region.

Coro Pasubio, the soul of the review

Founded in 1966 and based in the village of Raossi, the Coro Pasubio embodies the passion for singing of nearly two hundred choristers who have been part of the group over the decades. Since 1999, it has been directed by maestro Ivan Cobbe, author of numerous compositions that have become staples in the repertoire of many Italian choirs. The ensemble boasts a long concert history, several recordings, and a deep bond with the Vallarsa territory and the tradition of mountain singing.

The program of the evening

The review alternates the Coro Pasubio and invited ensembles on stage, each with their own repertoire. The program ranges from traditional folk and mountain songs to choral arrangements of famous Italian songwriters. The evening is designed as a dialogue between different choral realities, offering the audience a wide range of styles and sensibilities.

• Songs of the Alpine and folk tradition
• Choral reinterpretations of famous Italian pop music
• Alternating performances by the host choir and guest choirs

A moment of community

With free admission, the Vallarsa Choral Review is a meeting point for the inhabitants of Vallarsa and choral music enthusiasts. The Church of San Vigilio fills up for an evening that combines spirituality, tradition, and conviviality, in line with the spirit that has animated the Coro Pasubio in the municipality of Vallarsa, in the province of Trento, for over half a century.
