Review of singing with the choir and the chorus SINNAI, Asiago, ASIAGO June 25, 2016

Saturday, June 25, 2016, the Teatro Eliseo di Asiago will host the beloved Choir Asiago and the Chorus S ' Arrodia di Sinnai for an evening of traditional songs.

The concert "with OUR SINGING COME ..." will begin at 21.00 hours, at the teatro asiaghese. The Asiago Choir and the Chorus S ' Arrodia di Sinnai (CA) will delight the audience with their music and talent, in a really nice evening, to spend with friends and family, in memory of the tragic events that shook our country during the great war.

A hundred years ago, in fact, our countries were destroyed by the bombs of the Austro-Hungarian army and our population was forced to flee precipitately homes, beginning to profugato.

Between May and August of 1916 over 22,000 refugees from Asiago district were displaced and all municipalities were vacated; the entire population of the plateau was hijacked over the plain, mainly in towns in our province. It was still a temporary accommodation because, in the weeks that followed, many refugees were destined for other places, to the main cities in Northern Italy; a small part was sent to Sicily or in the South.

Came the "Sassari" Brigade -151° e 152° infantry regiment, almost all composed by Sardinian soldiers, to defend the plateau, being protagonist of heroics on the Monte Fior, Castelgomberto, on Mosciagh and onor Zebio.

The "Sassari" remained on the plateau for over a year. During brief breaks the thought of the soldiers ran to their land and to combat homesickness Sardinian soldier sometimes works with the song: "song for three voices" and "muttettos" certainly rieccheggiarono among our mountains.

For this occasion, therefore, the Chorus Asiago wanted to include in the review the choir "S ' Arrodia" to remember together what happened a hundred years ago;  to express the gratitude to all those who came out of these mountains and did not return to their homes and their loved ones and with the hope that the song that always unites and never divides, becomes a message of hope for a future without war.

THE CHOIR ASIAGO

The "Coro Asiago" was established in 1952 by a group of friends were members of the "schola cantorum" Parish, who decided to come together to learn the songs of Trento, animated by a. T. passion for the mountains and for singing, supported by the friendship that had been created between them.

The debut was on August 16, 1952 in Asiago on stage at the square of the "Prunno", under the name "Asiago" choral group.
