I cantori di Perugia are members of
the Gruppo Musicale Umbro. The main characteristic of the Gruppo Musicale Umbro
is to present both vocal and instrumental music by Umbrian past and
contemporary composers and popular
texts about “Christ birth and passion in the Umbrian popular
tradition”. Both amators and educated singers, like the soprano Darina Camilletti
( diploma in singing at the Conservatory in Perugia ), are membres of the
Cantori di Perugia. Some of the Cantori have a high education in music ( some
are students in music, others have got a diploma at the Conservatory
). The Cantori are mainly performing polifonic music, both religious and not
religious, but also popolar Umbrian songs adapted for choir. The Umbrian songs
have been recorded by the Cantori di Perugia under request of the RAI TV and
two Records Ricordi are available.
