Right now… Joyful! – The Joyful Gospel ensemble

Effetto Venezia and La Fortezza Nuova light up with music thanks to The Joyful Gospel Ensemble.
On stage, conducted by Maestro Riccardo Pagni, over sixty voices — including choir members and soloists — will take the audience on a true musical journey through some of the greatest classics of international music. The performance will range from powerful, uplifting gospel — evoking the legendary Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir — to timeless hits by iconic artists such as Elton John, Queen, Coldplay, Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, The Beatles, Ray Charles, Adele, Josh Groban, Stevie Wonder, Ariana Grande, and many more.

The repertoire, rich and diverse, will alternate between solemn and heartfelt ballads and irresistibly rhythmic songs, creating a show that will resonate with every spectator — even those hearing this kind of music for the first time.

The Joyful Gospel Ensemble, one of the most acclaimed musical groups in the area with over 400 concerts and seven albums to its name, promises to turn La Fortezza Nuova into a place of pure energy and connection, where music becomes a living experience made of emotion, rhythm, and participation.

Admission is free — a must-see event for fans of gospel, great pop and soul music, and the magic of a concert under the stars.
