The Foundation “Guido d’Arezzo” promotes the National Competition of Composition “Canta Petrarca”.
The authors, of Italian nationality or living in Italy, present compositions for a cappella groups based on a text taken from the Francesco Petrarca’s “Canzoniere”, great poet from Arezzo from whom numerous compositors of all the eras have tapped into.
The Competition, established in 2016, is reserved to young composers of Italian nationality or living in Italy, to promote the creation of a new repertoire for the international amateur choirs.
