Sibi Consoni is a Latin expression that means “consonants between them”: it describes not only a musical harmony between the members of the formation, but also the human harmony that has been created between the singers over the years.
In this period of forced distance, the choir conceived and implemented a project (“AVGproject”) in documentary form, in honor of the 15 years of the Vocal Academy of Genoa and the 25 years of the Genova Vocal Ensemble, with which not only to tell their own story, but also to implement all-round reflections on the meaning of being a choir, from every point of view, musical, human and social. This in-depth and passionate work has created an even deeper bond within the group and with the other formations of the Vocal Academy of Genoa.
Since its inception, the line-up has frequently presented itself at national festivals and competitions, obtaining various awards and recognitions, among which it is worth mentioning (last in chronological order – October 2021) the prestigious Efrem Casagrande Grand Prix in Vittorio Veneto (TV).
