The tradition of Beneventan Chant has arrived in New York.

“We are extremely proud to bring for the first time to New York the mystery and beauty of Beneventan Chant, one of the oldest and most precious testimonies of our musical heritage. These New York days not only celebrate a timeless cultural legacy, but also provide an opportunity to reflect on the power of music to unite cultures and generations.”

Spectacular performance of the Schola Cantorum at Carnegie Hall in New York

The performance of the “Nicola Sala” Schola Cantorum on one of the most prestigious stages in the world, Carnegie Hall, is an immense honor and a milestone that demonstrates the work and excellence of our Conservatory. This project represents not only a unique opportunity to share the invaluable value of the Beneventan musical tradition with an international audience, but also a confirmation of the quality and talent that our institution nurtures every day.
