Hundreds of choir singers will gather in Piazza Vittoria in Gorizia at sunset on Saturday 8 June to meet a true world icon of choral music, in an event that promises to be of great emotional impact. John Rutter, the celebrated English composer, will be in Gorizia to conduct many choir singers, with a large number of young people and children, from many choirs from the Friuli Venezia Giulia region and from Slovenia, and three orchestras. His music, known and sung all over the world by millions of choirs, narrates the beauty of the world, conveys messages of peace, respect for the environment and nature, brotherhood and the values of friendship and sharing. A message that will resound high in the skies of Gorizia and Nova Gorica, a song of joy for GO! 2025.
