Il Calicanto
Choir presentation
Founded in 2000 as a children’s choir, the equal-voice youth ensemble “Il Calicanto” has developed over time through dedicated study and collective growth. The choir now comprises singers aged 16 to 30 and represents the youth division of the “Estro Armonico” association in Salerno. The group is actively engaged throughout the country in cultural awareness and social cohesion through music, performing a repertoire that includes sacred and secular polyphony, pop and light music songs, traditional songs (Neapolitan and otherwise), and ethnic music from folk traditions around the world. The choir, founded and directed by Ms. Silvana Noschese, has worked from the beginning on a comprehensive approach to the body as an instrument, regularly attending study seminars and workshops on various vocal and choral styles with masters of Italian and international choral music (Acciai, Busto, Cadario, Donati, Grassi, Kuret, Monte, Paraninfo, Tabbia, etc.), as well as seminars on vocal technique, psychophony, communication, and group dynamics. The founding objective of “Il Calicanto” choir is in fact to understand the vocal instrument, learning that performance quality comes not only from studying music, but also from strengthening the group and the individuals within it.
THE CHOIR DIRECTOR: Silvana Noschese
Sociologist, music therapist, psychophony expert, music history teacher, and choral conductor. Having grown up immersed in music and singing, she has always sought a path that would give body to the voice and voice to the body. Over the years, she has worked to integrate various experiences and skills into a “vocality and chorality” project that brings together and synthesizes sound yoga, voice and pelvic floor, voice and sensoriality, singing and communication. She directs the Estro Armonico mixed choir, the “Il Calicanto” youth choir, the children’s choir of the G. Verdi Theatre in Salerno, and served as scientific coordinator of the “Master’s Program for Music Therapy Practitioners” at the Salerno Conservatory. Exploring the “senses” of sound, voice, and singing at every age has become one of
her greatest passions. Her musical, vocal, and choral approach is expressed in various fields: educational, artistic, personal development, and also in prevention and therapeutic contexts. She leads Prenatal Singing groups, Family Singing, Singing courses on “The Senses in Music” and “Public Speaking” for schools, organizations, and associations. The results of her research and intervention programs are published in books and specialized journals. A former member of the Artistic Commission of A.R.C.C. and the Italian National Federation of Regional Choral Associations (Fe.N.I.A.R.Co.), she is now artistic director of various choral events (Il Cantagiovani, Cori in Coro). She founded the “Scuola di Coralità” in Salerno, a choral training program for children, adolescents, and young people, with the goal of teaching them to sing well, communicate well, and… be.
