Concert – Jubilation Gospel Choir

Who they are

Artistically born in March 1998 from an idea by Luca Del Tongo, who still holds the role of artistic and musical director, the Jubilation Gospel Choir is the first Gospel group founded in Livorno and has been active for over 25 years.

More than twenty-five years ago Luca designed the first draft of his creation, the Jubilation Gospel Choir, giving it over time a more professional form, until obtaining a homogeneous group with splendid voices, so much so as to be considered one of the most appreciated Gospel groups in Italy. The choir boasts an impressive and enviable curriculum!

In over 25 years of activity, the choir has participated in numerous events throughout Italy often alongside important international and non-international artists, increasing the number of consents and appreciations each time.

In addition to being summoned to cheer the Ferrari Christmas with a concert held within the Maranello circuit in the presence of Luca Cordero di Montezemolo and the Ferrari drivers, the group performed at the Verona arena alongside Gianna Nannini for the Wind Music Award 2015, live on RAI 1.

Important awards, prestigious collaborations, but not only: the choir has also been hired to record some television commercials, including the campaign for Citterio products and the jingle of the Maina panettone television commercial.

The group has been invited to participate four times in the prestigious and coveted Gospel Festival in Milan, broadcast on SKY and Rete 4 and presented by Claudia Koll, Iva Zanicchi, Milly Carlucci, Luisa Corna.

Winner of the “Gospel JF Award,” a prize awarded in Turin in 2009 for professionalism and results achieved, the Jubilation Gospel Choir has two CDs to its credit (“So Amazing” and “Good to me”) and some compilations including the CD “Mille voci per Betlemme” of which 50,000 copies were distributed in newsstands throughout Italy, and the single “Ci ritroveremo” performed with Riccardo Fogli, Don Backy, and Homo Sapiens.

The Jubilation GC association, under the artistic direction of Luca Del Tongo, has conceived and organized since 2004 the Livorno Gospel Festival, a showcase for international Gospel groups that has garnered increasing interest every year, so much so as to be considered one of the most anticipated and important Gospel events in Tuscany.
