"It was a great exciting experience your wonderful festival. We were able to listen to sensational choirs, discover cultural treasures, spend dreamlike hours in the nightly bars and took everything back to Switzerland. The "Italianità" will sweeten our everyday life for a long time!"

4th Voices for Peace
Singing for peace
Italy, the beautiful country in the south of Europe inspires ensembles from all over the world to go on unique concert tours. In addition to its long musical tradition, its fascinating architecture and its unsurpassed gastronomy, it's the remarkable vitality and joy of living that makes this country the perfect place for unforgettable musical projects.
Along the lines of St. Francis' blessing that "the Lord may give you peace", we are pleased to welcome choirs from all over the world to Perugia and Assisi for VOICES FOR PEACE – and together send a message into the world that has reached even more importance again in current times.
Perugia, founded in the 6th century by the Etruscans, is the largest city in Umbria and - with its fascinating Piazza Grande - one of the most beautiful cities in Italy.
Assisi – birthplace of Saint Francis – is a truly magical place that draws its particular character from the reminiscence of Saint Francis, the charming countryside that surrounds the town, and the important witnesses of its thousand-year-old culture. With its two-story basilica, Assisi is one of those rare places that can enable the mind of man to fly high.
Join us on VOICES FOR PEACE and spread with us the message of peace among peoples.

Event Details
Destination
Perugia, capital of the region of Umbria and archdiocese, is located on a hill from which one can overlook the Tiber valley. With its grand and medieval appearance the city is famous for its comprehensive collection of the works of Perugino. The historic city centre features many churches and buildings of highest art historical value and interest. The old town mainly consists of a centre which dates back to the times of the Etruscans and a well preserved city wall. Perugia is the domicile of oldest summer university for foreign students. The so called "Università per stranieri" was founded in 1925 and focuses on communicating Italian art and making it well-known and widespread abroad.
Assisi is a small Umbrian town in central Italy, located 19 kilometres east of Perugia at an elevation of 400 meters. Assisi is best known as the birthplace of St. Francis of Assisi — patron saint of Italy, founder of the Franciscan order, and one of the most popular Catholic saints in history. Assisi's main attraction is the 13th-century Basilica di San Francesco, which contains the sacred relics of Francis and beautiful frescoes of his life. The town of Assisi, with its Roman ruins, winding medieval streets and sacred shrines, has been a major Catholic pilgrimage destination for centuries and is today one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy. Although Assisi has only about 3,000 inhabitants (26,000 in the larger comune of Assisi), 4 to 5 million visitors throng the small town each year.
