🎶 Celebrating 500 Years of Palestrina: Sicut cervus and the Capuchins Crypt
Born in 1525, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina shaped the very identity of sacred music. This year, on his 500th anniversary, we celebrate his enduring legacy where it all began: in Rome.
Join us for a profound journey through faith, sound, and history — culminating in a live performance of Sicut cervus, Palestrina’s most cherished motet. Composed at the height of the Counter-Reformation, this piece is a masterclass in balance and spiritual clarity — designed to elevate the soul.
Set in the Capuchins Refectory, the music becomes a meditation on time, death, and divine longing. Combined to the live performance of the music of the Sistine Chapel, a guided tour through the Capuchins Crypt, where its macabre beauty and contemplative silence will reveal the philosophy and the way of life of the friars.
✨ A rare chance to honor a sacred milestone in music history.
🎼 Includes guided tour of the Capuchins Church, Museum, and Crypt
