The Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia is one of the oldest musical institutions in the world. Officially founded in 1585, it has evolved over the centuries from an organization of largely "local" musicians to a modern academy and symphonic concert organization of international repute. Uniting an academic body of 100 of the most illustrious exponents of culture and music with a symphonic orchestra and chorus that are among the most internationally renowned, the Accademia carries out professional musical training and conserves an extremely rich historical patrimony, thus reflecting its own multi-century history.


Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia
The Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia was the first one in Italy to devote itself exclusively to the symphonic repertoire, promoting the premieres of important 20th century masterworks such as Respighi’s Fountains of Rome and Pines of Rome.

Chorus of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia
The very origins of the centuries-old Accademia di Santa Cecilia are closely linked to the practice of choral singing. In the second half of the 1500's, certain Choirmasters and Choristers joined in forming an association, electing Palestrina as its president, and thus founding the Accademia.

Chorus Master: Ciro Visco
