Visions in Music, the Choir and Cinema
Investigation into the relationship between music and cinematic imagery
8 June 2026
“Music Visions, Choir and Cinema” is a project by the “Poliba Chorus” that explores the relationship between music and cinematic imagery. The program examines the role of music as an autonomous narrative element, capable of amplifying emotion, defining identity, and guiding the viewer’s perception. Through a repertoire spanning contemporary composers and authors, the project analyzes the soundtrack as a true “character” in the film narrative. An artistic and production journey that enhances the synergy between sound and vision, placing the choir at the center of contemporary audiovisual language.
The event, scheduled Thursday, 11 June, 6:30 p.m. at the Rectorate headquarters of the Politecnico (university campus), the Poliba Chorus will perform with its conductor, Alessandro Fortunato. Free admission, subject to booking on EventBrite, until all seats are taken. Booking deadline: June 11, 12:00 noon.
