Traditional Christmas Concert - Musica ai Servi

Christmas Concert of the Servants
December 20, 2024 | 9:00 PM
Basilica dei Servi, Strada Maggiore 43, Bologna

Christmas is undoubtedly the holiday closest to the hearts of people worldwide, celebrated through traditions that unite us in the spirit of joy and community. The Christmas Concert of the Servants, taking place this year on December 20, is not only an opportunity to celebrate the magic of Christmas, but also a moment to share the sense of community and solidarity that binds us together. As is tradition, the concert serves as a festive greeting to the city, but this year it will have an even deeper meaning.

This year's concert will be dedicated to all those who, with their hard work and generous hearts, have helped rebuild our city after the recent flood. A warm embrace of music to remind us that together we can overcome any obstacle, and that the bond that unites us is stronger than any challenge. The evening will be attended by volunteers, law enforcement, and local institutions, all invited to join in this celebration and moment of gratitude.

Each year, the Basilica dei Servi transforms into a magical place where the beautiful Christmas melodies create an enchanting and immersive atmosphere. This year, we are thrilled to welcome the extraordinary voice of soprano soloist Mariana Valdés, who will enhance the concert with her performance. The Orchestra and Choir of the Cappella Musicale, conducted by M° Lorenzo Bizzarri, will perform alongside the monumental organ, played by master organist Roberto Cavrini, for an evening of great emotion and beauty.

The concert will also be accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities, who will have reserved parking spaces with valid permits in the "Piazzetta dei Servi" in front of the Basilica.

This is a unique opportunity to experience the magic of Christmas, celebrate solidarity, and strengthen the bond that unites us as a community. We look forward to seeing you at this special evening!
