Schola Cantorum, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia

The Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, in collaboration with the Municipality of Rome and with the Department of Education and Scholastic Policies, Youth and the Family, has established a didactic path that allows children to learn the art of singing together. The activities of the children are varied and stimulating. They participate in many performances and learn a broad repertoire that ranges from ‘art’ music to folk, opera and musicals. They also collaborate with the Opera Theatre of Rome Foundation.
