The eagerly awaited Christmas concert of the Polifonica “J. S. Bach” of Conversano (BA) returns this year. The well-known event “In Excelsis Deo” has now reached its third edition. A concert of Christmas music for soloists, choir, children's choir, symphony orchestra, and keyboard instrument.

A first complete concert will be performed on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 8:00 PM at the parish church of Sant'Andrea Apostolo in Conversano (BA), where soloists, choir, children's choir, percussion, and keyboard instrument will celebrate Christmas in the context of the closing celebrations for the first centenary of the church's construction.
