Thursday May 22, there was a big solidarity concert, Due cori per l’Africa (Two Choirs for Africa) at the Church of San Marco in Milan, Italy, attended by a big and enthusiastic audience.
First out was the Coro Bach of Milan, with 42 members, under the direction of the Choral director Sandro Rodeghiero, who performed Komm Jesu, komm by Johann Sebastian Bach and Magnificat by Johann Pachelbel.
It was followed by the performance of the Hesston College Choral, from the U.S., visiting Italy on their European Tour: 29 members directed by the two Choral directors Bradley Kauffman and Kenneth Rodgers, performing several musical pieces from their polyphonic repertoire (Washington by William Billings, Shout to God by David Gerig, Alleluia by Randall Thomson among others) and some spirituals.
Several musical pieces were accompanied on organ by the director Kenneth Rodgers.
The evening ended with a performance by the two choirs together of My God is so High (spiritual) by Moses Hogan, repeated also as an encore on request, and Herivimskaja pesn by Petr Ilic Chajkovskij.
The income of this event support the Ivo de Carneri Foundation’s health cooperation projects in Africa, more specifically for control programmes against Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).
