During the General Assembly is Assisi the ‘Reading Session’ took place, an awaited moment during which some composers presented some of their new compositions for choir, conducted them and explained the interpretation modalities. The singers were the conductors themselves who gathered in the assembly. We would like to thank the composers who donated their compositions for free so that everyone can download them from this website.
