Gospel & Spirituals - The Woman of God

The Woman of God
The music of historic Gospel protagonists Mahalia Jackson, Clara Wood, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe will be on stage, passing on an important legacy to them: spreading the message of Love and Peace, embodied by women, throughout the world. "The Women of God" is an established all-female group of African-American vocalists with a decade of touring under their belt and hundreds of concerts in theaters and churches across Europe. Over the past few seasons, the sextet has thrilled and enthused audiences at the most prestigious theaters, including the Teatro Smeraldo in Milan and the Teatro Verdi in Florence, and they will undoubtedly captivate audiences at their new Arbedo venue as well.

INTANTOCANTO (Guest)
The mixed choir Intantocanto was founded in 2007 at the Helvetic Music Institute (HMI), the modern music school in Bellinzona, and is directed by maestro Giovanni Bonariva, pianist and accordionist, who graduated from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan. Today the group can count on around thirty singers and their repertoire is brilliant and varied, ranging from country to jazz, from pop to Italian singer-songwriter music, and has amazed Ticino audiences with the originality and joy it has been able to offer in its numerous cantonal performances.
