Welcome to the
Associazione Corale "Ora e' tempo di gioia" website.
At the moment we still haven't got the whole website
translated in English. In order to give you a bit of
information about us here you will find a brief
description of our choir. From the italian pages you
will be able to know when our
concerts will take place
and how to contact us. |

During the fall of 1995,
at the shadow of the
San Bernardino Church in
Torino, a small group of friends, almost
playing,
starts discovering the magic and the
enchantment of polyphony,
after having learnt a quattro voci dispari the song
"Ora č tempo di gioia”. The idea of creating a
Chorus and of giving
joy through it participating to solidarity
projects raises. |
|
Since
the first shy concerts in Piedmont the chorus has
started to go around Italy and outside, living
exciting moments like the audience in Piazza
S.Pietro in Roma, during the 2000 Jubilee and the
concerts in Assisi, Firenze, Venezia, Egna (BZ) e
Pagani (SA) to arrive to Avignon, Paris and
Saltzburg |
|
During
these years the chorus has discovered the passion
for various musical genres, starting from the
Classical and passing through the Gospel, the
Spiritual, the italian and foreign folk music,
arriving to the musical. Ideally it
started traveling through the world, enriching its
repertory
with songs who present the style and the
folklore of the five continents. |
|
This
spirit lives also in the
XXth Winter Olympic Games
Opening Ceremony participation , in the moving
singing of the Italian Anthem and the Olympic Anthem
written and directed by Claudio Baglioni. |
|
Since some years the
Chorus organises internal specific vocal courses in
the view of a maturation and constant vocal growth. The Chorus, thanks to
the collaboration with the
Beinasco missionary group, has also issued three
CDs, whose income
contributes to help the children in the South Horr
mission in Kenya. |
|
The first November 1999
the Chorus became Association, giving life to the
Associazione Corale "Ora e' Tempo di Gioia"
and with the contribution
and the collaboration of Circoscrizione 3 of Torino
the Association annually organises the Choral Review
"Natale InCantato". |

Our voyage still goes
on! We specially thanks all the people that have
walked by us in these years and we will try, as far
as we will be able to, to make ours S. Agostino
words: "Singing is characteristic of people who
love: people who sang with all his heart and with
joy loves what he sang, loves the place where he
sang, loves He for whom he sang and, finally, he
loves all the people for whom he sang"
