Different languages, cultures and religions, but one voice🎤!

Over the past few days, we’ve introduced the conductors and members of the Italian, Greek and German Polyverse Choirs, a multicultural, multilingual and interreligious group of people united by their passion for music and encounter.

Their journey is just beginning! Together, they will soon form the full Polyverse Choir, giving life to our original interfaith composition.

👀 Stay tuned to see the complete choir in action and discover how music becomes a bridge between cultures and traditions.

🎤 Introducing the Polyverse Choir🎶!

After one year of cross-border collaboration as part of the @creative.eu project Polyverse, we are thrilled to present a milestone of this journey: our choir.

The Polyverse Choir is a multicultural, multilingual and interreligious group of 24 choristers who will bring forward a message of peace, respect and understanding across faiths and cultures.

Our international choir is made up of three local choirs set up by our consortium members in Italy 🇮🇹, Greece 🇬🇷, and Germany 🇩🇪. They will come together for the first time during our Circulation Events (Spring/Summer 2026), where music will become a bridge between cultures, beliefs, and traditions.

👀 Want to meet the people behind the voices? 🔜 This week, we’ll be introducing our choristers and conductors right here on our socials. Stay with us!

🎼 A milestone for Polyverse 🌟!

After four months of collaborative work, our original interfaith music composition 'Polyverse Echoes' is now complete.

Crafted collaboratively by our dedicated composers Maria Beatrice Orlando (Italy), Sakis Negrin (Greece) and Aaron Dan (Germany), the piece brings together musical traditions inspired by Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, conveying a shared message of peace and dialogue, which is at the heart of our Manifesto 'Singing Across Faiths'.

While the composition is ready, its official presentation will take place during the first Polyverse Circulation Event 🗓️, on 3 May 2026 in the Basilica Patriarcale di Aquileia, Italy.

Thank you to our composers for their commitment and the creativity they have put into this work❤️. The big day is getting closer!
