Saturday, 14 November: Concert of Sacred Music in St Peter’s Basilica

On Saturday, 14 November 2026, at 4:00 p.m., the Altar of the Chair in St Peter’s Basilica will host a Concert of Sacred Music: thirty minutes of polyphonic singing performed by the Cappella Giulia, inviting the faithful and visitors to share a moment of reflection and prayer.

The programme brings together compositions by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Valentino Miserachs and Domenico Bartolucci, offering a journey through different expressions of sacred polyphony. It will open with the Gloria from Palestrina’s Missa Brevis and his Ave Maria for four voices, followed by Miserachs’s Laudate Dominum de caelis. Bartolucci’s O sacrum convivium and Jubilate Deo will conclude the concert.

An opportunity to experience the beauty of sacred music, which in St Peter’s Basilica becomes an expression of faith and an invitation to contemplation.
