The eclectic repertoire of the CIUL – the Infant and Youth Choir of the University of Lisbon spans composers such as Purcell, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Cherubini, Rossini, Britten and Lopes-Graça but places a particular focus on world music and contemporary music.

In this end of academic year concert, the Piccoli Cantori di Torino, a group renowned for the variety and originality of its repertoire (especially the contemporary) and for its crossover with musical theatre, are joining the CIUL voices. On the stage, there will be 150 young persons striving to carry away the audience through the magic of choral sound, movement and theatrical expressiveness.
