Italy – Cordenons (Pn)

The Ensemble “Cohors Naonis” was founded in 2014 by a group of expert singers from the Polyphonic Choir of Sant’Antonio Abate. It comes to life with the desire of creating a specialised and lively group in order to study a real part repertoire – from reneissance, to baroque, to contemporary music – or particular repertoires that need little groups.
Initially it was formed by nine singers and studied J. S. Bach’s music and the harmonic comedy “La pazzia Senile” by Adriano Banchieri. The ensemble perfomed various concerts both in Italy and abroad (it attended the International Choral Festival of Provence in 2015) and attended theatrical events in the province of Pordenone. Nowadays, the ensemble is formed by 15 choristers (some of them don’t come from the Polyphonic Choir). The ensemble cohoperates with the organist Alberto Gaspardo.
The director is Monica Malachin.
