The Winter Concert “Nothing Serious”

The top choirs of Campanella Children’s Choir invites everyone to hear their new performance – “Nothing serious.”

No matter the age, when composers got tired of being serious, they joked around.

And so we, too, decided to joke around a bit, including in our program musical jokes, potpourri and fun songs of all time periods and styles, from Bach to Beatles.

So come and smile with us!

P.S. And of course it will not do without costumes and masks, buzzers, whistles, and guest musicians.
