Rejoicing Gospel Choir & Cervia Gospel Soul together for AISM

From Cervia to Alba, gospel unites: XmasLive opens with music, friendship, and solidarity.

On November 28th at 9:00 PM, at the Church of Christ the King, the Rejoicing Gospel Choir will host the Cervia Gospel Soul.
All donations will be donated to AISM, which will also be present with the Pandottone.

The thread of this story begins on the weekend of June 13th and 14th, when Rejoicing, directed by Carlo Bianco, came to the Parish of the Sacred Heart in Pinarella di Cervia for two days of music and fellowship with Cervia Gospel Soul, led by Fausta Molfini.
Sought out with the desire to explore a new choral group, that meeting transformed into an experience of harmony and friendship, filled with rehearsals, voices, smiles, and the joy of being together. The concert was the culmination, but what will remain most memorable is the natural harmony that developed in such a short time.

Upon returning to Alba, gratitude was immediately joined by a desire: to meet again soon and offer the same welcome to our friends in Cervia. The opening of XmasLive will give shape to that intention, transforming the first event of the Christmas season into an evening of artistic, musical, and cultural unity. Two choirs will bring their sensibilities and shared passion to the Church of Christ the King, demonstrating how gospel can forge relationships and bring even distant communities closer together.

This exchange also fits into the cultural dialogue between Alba and Cervia, evoked by the works of Valerio Berruti: Alba, located in Piazza Michele Ferrero, and Non basta il canto delle sirene, inaugurated on the Cervia pier on August 8, 2025. The voices of the two choirs are now added to that bond, protagonists of a meeting in which music becomes an opportunity for learning and participation.

The evening will also have a charitable purpose: proceeds from freewill offerings will be donated to AISM, the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Association. The association will also be present for the Pandottone sale, a Christmas initiative offering panettone and pandoro to support local services for people with multiple sclerosis and their families. This is another opportunity to combine the pleasure of music with a concrete gesture of solidarity.
