Coro Noi Cantando

The choir, which did not have this name at its origins, is based in Cossato, a town in the province of Biella. Founded by a small group of friends with a great desire to get together and sing, it later managed to involve people from all over the Biella area and thus increased both numerically (there are currently about 40 members divided into four sections: Sopranos, Altos, Tenors and Basses) and artistically, between one laugh and another, but with much commitment, in 1994 it became the 'Noi Cantando' Choir. Thanks to the training of the director, Vitaliano Zambon, who now dedicates all his spare time to us, it has been possible to obtain unanimous acclaim and affirmation both in the Biella region and nationally. Each concert has been for the choir a moment of satisfaction and an opportunity for growth, but some occasions have certainly been richer: -the participation in a well-known television programme (La Ruota della Fortuna, hosted by Mike Bongiorno) -the opening night of the Cossato municipal theatre alongside Ezio Greggio the Singer's Day in Verbania (organised by the Associazione Cori Piemontesi) "Chiostro in musica", a choral review organised in Prato (to represent, in concert, the province of Biella, among the new provinces) -in Trentino Alto Adige at the 2nd national choral singing festival. The choir has also organised its own review for the past two years, involving other choirs and a cappella vocal groups not only from the Biella area. The repertoire with which Noi Cantando presents itself is intended to be a brief journey through the world of music history, articulated in two distinct moments: folk songs, without instrumental accompaniment, and light music songs, accompanied by guitar, keyboard and small percussion instruments. Prof. Gian Luigi Sabarino's skilful harmonisations contribute to the special character of the Noi Cantando choir.
Sadly, in 2020 the Noi Cantando Choir lost its director, dear friend Vitaliano, to Covid. Our label continues to keep the choir's Christmas CD on sale, especially in memory of Vitaliano, as a tangible sign of his work and love for music.
