Polifonie “in viva voce” 12 // di area veneta e friulana

Conceived by the Giorgio Cini Foundation’s Intercultural Institute of Comparative Music Studies in collaboration with the G. Mazzariol Department of History of the Arts and Conservation of Artistic Heritage at Ca’ Foscari University, Venice, Polyphonies “in viva voce” is traditionally dedicated to studying and analysing group singing practices in the European area.

Having reached its twelfth edition, this year the theme is Polyphonies from the Veneto and Friulan area. This particular event is one of the results of research financed by the Vittore Branca Grant, awarded by the Veneto Region to promote research into Veneto culture. The 2008 edition has, moreover, been organised in collaboration with the Provinces of Padua, Venice and Udine, the City of Venice, and Friuli Region.
The event is divided into three afternoon sessions, in which audiences of musiclovers and scholars can hear performances by polyphonic groups representing various types of ensemble singing performed in the Veneto-Friulan area – the multifaceted expression of many local musical identities.
