The Italian Committee for Residents Abroad (Com.It.Es.) will host its annual Christmas Concert at Fontvieille’s Espace Léo Ferré on Thursday 3rd December, bringing a grand 150-musician performance by the Italian Gospel Choir to the Principality.

Held under the patronage of the Italian Embassy in Monaco, the festive event is open to residents and local authorities, featuring a joint hosting pairing of Com.It.Es. President Ezio Greggio and Radio Monte Carlo presenter Maurizio DiMaggio.

A message of unity for the holiday season 

Organisers say the decision to bring back the Italian Gospel Choir stems from a desire to offer a moment of community solidarity and optimism during uncertain global times.

“We extend a warm welcome to everyone who wishes to share a moment of joy and peace,” said Greggio, underlining that the invitation is open to the entire Monégasque community.

The choir’s appearance marks a return to Monaco for the national ensemble, whose president, Francesco Zarbano, highlighted the privilege of representing Italian culture in the Principality through a musical genre centred on connection and hope.

Free admission with advance booking

Doors for the performance open at 5:30pm ahead of the 6pm concert start. While entry to the Espace Léo Ferré is free for all attendees, organisers have stressed that advance online registration is mandatory due to limited venue capacity.
