\n The Music Chapel of the Milan Duomo <\/h2>\n
\n <\/div>\n
\n

The Music Chapel of the Milan Duomo is the oldest cultural institution in Milan and one of the oldest in the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Active continuously since 1402, it is the cultural and artistic expression of the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano and preserves a unique heritage identified with the music that its masters have written over the centuries up to the present day, preserved in the Veneranda Fabbrica Archive. It was in 1402 that the deputies of the Veneranda Fabbrica appointed the first cantore<\/em> and Maestro di Cappella<\/em>, the musichus<\/em> Matteo da Perugia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the end of his term of office, the Music Chapel had its complete organisation: Maestro<\/em>, organist, vice-Maestro<\/em>, adult and young cantores<\/em>. During the centuries, a continuous flow of excellent Maestros<\/em> contributed to the evolution and enrichment of its musical heritage. In the 19th century, the School was reorganised for the education of young Cantores<\/em> who, according to the custom of the time, were entrusted with the high voices (sopranos and contraltos).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, the Music Chapel, composed of adults and children, performs in Milan Cathedral every Sunday at the solemn Chapter Eucharistic celebration at 11 a.m. and on the main feast days of the year.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
