NAPLES SAN PIETRO A MAJELLA CONSERVATORY CHORUS

The Chorus of the Naples San Pietro a Majella Conservatory is made up of singers from the Conservatory, whether vocal students or instrumentalists, with a repertoire that ranges from the baroque to the contemporary. Important appearances have included the festival concert at the dedication of the Sala Scarlatti in the Conservatory itself, and at the Cologne Philharmonic. There was a notable performance of church music with works by Duke Ellington and in 2003 a performance at the Vatican, televised internationally. The chorus director Elsa Evangelista studied music, composition and conducting in Naples and has at her command a rich repertoire, notably of polyphonic music. She has a special interest in ethnomusicology. Her considerable reputation has brought invitations to numerous singing festivals.
