V Festival Corale Internazionale INCANTO MEDITERRANEO 2024

About This Festival

After the huge success of the last edition, the Choral Association “Cantica Nova” presents the V International Choral Festival "InCanto Mediterraneo" which will be held between 9th and 15th July, 2017 in the Trifiletti Theatre. The “InCanto Mediterraneo” Festival, organized in collaboration with the Milazzo Town Council and the beautiful town of Milazzo itself, are busy preparing to welcome and host choirs from all over the world, to an event that is fast becoming one of the most prestigious Choral Festivals in Central and Southern Italy. As usual, the festival will be divided into two sections, EXHIBITION and COMPETITION (Category A - for mixed/male/female Choirs and Vocal Ensembles, and Category B - for Children’s and Youth choirs) and all choirs (which must be strictly non-professional) are welcome to participate in both sections. The real novelty in this Fifth Edition is that the evening of the 13th July will be dedicated to a completely separate ‘Sacred Music Competition’, open to all the participating choirs, and consisting of a single performance of a programme of sacred music, to be performed exclusively “a cappella”. The international Jury, who will award points for the choirs’ vocal technique, vocal quality, stylistic quality and programme choice, will award 1st Prize (€ 500,00) to the winners of the Sacred Music Competition, 1st Prize (€ 500,00) to the winners of Category A, 1st Prize (€ 500,00) to the winners of Category B, and the “Incanto Mediterraneo Trophy 2017” (and €1.000,00) to the overall Festival winner, as well as presenting the various Diplomas for Merit.

Choirs wishing to participate have until 12th March 2017 to send in their application, with all the required attachments, to the festival e-mail address: festival@festivalincantomediterraneo.it, or otherwise they can send applications by post to: ASSOCIAZIONE CORALE “CANTICA NOVA”, VIA SPIAGGIA DI PONENTE N. 185, 98057, MILAZZO (ME) – ITALIA.
