Chiesa Santa Maria dei Carmini
Look forward to making music together in the project choir
with soloists and an instrumental ensemble playing on period instruments.
Construction of the Carmini Church began in 1286, and it took on
its present appearance in the 16th and 17th centuries.
This makes it the perfect venue for this music.
