Andrea del Verrocchio International Choral Festival is one of the new projects of the co-founder of the Florence International Choir Festival, Leonardo Sagliocca and Musicaficta Music Association’s Artistic Director Andrea Angelini.
The Festival concept is focused on the person of Andrea del Verrocchio, principally in the choice of venues. Andrea, painter, sculptor and goldsmith, became known by his nickname Verrocchio, from vero occhio, which in Italian means ‘true eye’, a tribute given to him for his artistic achievements. The festival is open to all genres of choral singing, even with instrumental presence and you have no less than ten competitive and non-competitive categories to choose from. Florence – cradle of the Renaissance, renowned throughout the world as a UNESCO World Heritage city, with its immeasurable heritage of history, architecture and art – forms the stunning backdrop to this remarkable festival
