Saturday, April 25: Spiritual Elevation at the Altar of the Chair

On Saturday, April 25, at 4:00 PM, a new Spiritual Elevation will be held at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter's Basilica, a moment of contemplation entrusted to sacred music.

The initiative is part of the Basilica's ongoing program of offering faithful and visitors a time of inner reflection, where art and liturgy meet through the universal language of music. For approximately thirty minutes, the monumental space of the Vatican apse will be filled with a soundscape, accompanying silence and meditation at the heart of the visit.

The musical program spans centuries of ecclesiastical tradition, from Gregorian chant to polyphony, with compositions by Bartolucci, Rheinberger, Pitoni, Palestrina, and Perosi, offering a musical journey that unites different eras and sensibilities in the spirit of faith.

Admission is free, subject to availability.
