Choral singing 

En español

Canto coral 

El canto coral de Friburgo forma parte de las tradiciones vivas. 7000 cantores se hallan hoy agrupados en más de 200 coros eclesiásticos y laicos. Aunque el movimiento coral se ha desarrollado en todos los cantones católicos, es, en efecto, en Friburgo, sociedad rural influenciada por el clero, donde ha encontrado su terreno más propicio. Paralelamente, este auge se ha desarrollado también con independencia del contexto religioso.  

El abad Joseph Bovet (1879-1951) dejó en el cantón de Friburgo una rica herencia musical. El maestro de la capilla de la catedral de San Nicolás escribió unas 2000 piezas sacras y profanas. Sus textos y composiciones, escritos tanto en dialecto friburgués, como en francés o alemán, siguen uniendo y conmoviendo a los melómanos. Un monumento de Jakob Probst (1995) le está dedicado en Les Grand-Places de Friburgo.  

El Cantorama de Jaun conserva este rico patrimonio a través de una colección y conciertos regulares. 

El Festival de canto tuttiCanti de Friburgo se celebrará en Wünnewil-Flamatt del 30 de mayo al 2 de junio de 2024. Se esperan unos 3000 cantantes y numerosos visitantes durante estos cuatro días. 

Choral music is a very lively tradition in Fribourg. Around 7,000 singers are organised into more than 200 religious and secular groups. The choral associations also developed outside the religious milieu, occasionally also as a backlash against it. 

Abbé Joseph Bovet (1879–1951) left the canton of Fribourg an extensive musical heritage. He subsequently became the music director of St. Nicholas Cathedral and wrote around 2,000 religious and secular works. Whether they are sung in Fribourg patois, in French or German, his choral music and songs still bring people together today. A monument is dedicated to him in the Grand-Places park in Fribourg. 

Cantorama, the ‘House of Fribourg Choral Music’, in Jaun preserves and promotes this rich historic and cultural heritage, with concerts and collections. 

The Fribourg Singing Festival tuttiCanti will take place in Wünnewil-Flamatt from 30 May to 2 June 2024. Around 3,000 singers and many visitors are expected to attend over these four days.
