Concerto di Natale al Monastero

**Thursday, January 2**, the association *AlterAzioni* from Bisceglie returns to the **Monastery of the Immaculate** in Castellana Grotte to celebrate the Christmas season with music, starting at **7:00 PM**, for the **"Christmas Concert"**. The concert will take place in the enchanting Christmas atmosphere where **Prioress Mother Maria Gertrude Civisca** and the **Benedictine Celestine nuns** welcome the faithful to celebrate in music the Solemnity of Christmas and the arrival of the New Year 2025. The concert will feature a program that ideally connects the oldest baroque instrumental tradition dedicated to Christmas with pieces from the more contemporary repertoire drawn from the folk tradition but presented with new and unique sounds and atmospheres.

The event is enriched by the superb voice of soprano **Anna Maria Stella Pansini**, who has been featured in numerous regional and national schedules, and was recently acclaimed for her performance in the one-act opera *"Suor Angelica"* in the past year dedicated to the Lucca composer. Alongside Pansini, the **"AlterAzioni" String Quartet** will perform, who are frequent guests of the Monastery of the Immaculate, comprising **Clelia Sguera and Matteo Notarangelo** on violins, **Leonardo Zonno** on viola, **Donatella Milella** on cello, accompanied by pianist **Rosalba Lapresentazione**, coordinator of the ensemble and director of the musical project, maestro **Vito Liturri**.

The program includes music by Corelli, Torelli, Manfredini, along with the most famous pieces of Italian and European tradition.
