Cultural Association Musica Viva
The Musica Viva Cultural Association, founded in 1982, was led until 2002 by M° Gianni Ghiani. Since 2003 the artistic direction has been entrusted to Maestro Maria Paola Nonne.
The Association has artistic-cultural and pedagogical aims specifically linked to the musical field, through initiatives ranging from the organization of musical literacy courses, vocal technique, educational promotions and musicological insights through conferences and debates, to participation in workshop of performance practice, concertation, repertoire analysis.
The musical activity, carried out by the choir formed within the Association, includes a multiple repertoire: Renaissance, Baroque, modern and contemporary polyphony ‘a cappella’, with organ and with instrumental ensemble; Gregorian chant; popular song elaborated for choir; the vocal-pop arrangements.
The Musica Viva Cagliari Choir carries out an intense concert activity throughout the Sardinian territory. Furthermore, every year it meets the public of the city of Cagliari on the occasion of themed musical events: Monumenti Aperti (all editions until 2021); Concerts on Christmas themes, now in their 40th edition; Concerts on the Passion and Resurrection of Christ.
For several years the Association has been organizing the Ars Canendi National Review, now in its 7th edition.
A salient feature of the Musica Viva Cagliari Cultural Association is the teaching of musical reading and Gregorian chant, also in palaeography, with a methodological approach deriving from specialized studies and original solutions from the artistic director.
