15 July, the Chamber Choir of the University of Warwick will be a guest in the Milan Duomo

On Saturday 15th July the Milan Duomo will host a short musical moment at 4.30 pm with the Chamber Choir of the University of Warwick, conducted by Suzzie Vango. An initiative offered to all the worshippers and visitors visiting the Cathedral.

The University of Warwick Chamber Choir (UWCC) is a student choir with a distinguished tradition and repertoire.

The University of Warwick Chamber Choir (UWCC) is a student-run mixed choir that prides itself on performing to a high standard, whilst maintaining an ethos of friendliness and fun.

UWCC’s wide ranging repertoire spans sacred, secular and folk music, performing everything from Byrd and Handel to Cole Porter with the same dedication and understanding. In the past, UWCC have appeared on BBC national television in the Sainsbury’s Choir of the Year competition, live television in Greece, on Central Television with Caliche with whom a CD of Ariel Ramirez’ Latin American Misa Criolla and Navidad Nuestra was recorded (the British première recording), and have given performances of The Messiah and the Mozart Requiem with world famous orchestras like the English Chamber Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Mozart Players.

UWCC performs in a variety of locations, both in Warwickshire and further a field, with annual tour destinations including the UK, Spain, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Belgium, France.

The performance, as with the 'Organ Sonorities in the Duomo', is free of charge. Access will be possible from the façade of the Duomo, from the entrance reserved to the worshippers (extreme north door, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele side). The concert will be streamed live on the Duomo Milano Tv YouTube channel.
