COLOGNOLE SPONTANEOUS SINGING GROUP
Twice-weekly workshop
Circolo Culturale Contadino di Colognole
Pontassieve (Italy)
October 3rd of 2025 to May 29th 2026
An initiative by La leggera as part of the Creative Europe Tramontana IV project.
Starting in october 2025 and continuing every other friday until may 2026, La Leggera will host a workshop dedicated to the repertoires and styles of traditional peasant and mountain folk singing.
Open to everyone, the workshop offers both individual and choral singing sessions, led by Marco Magistrali and Filippo Marranci, who will guide participants through the “by ear” method—a learning approach rooted in listening, imitation, and shared experience.
The aim of the workshop is to transmit and share the oral knowledge that forms the basis of the traditional singing heritage of Eastern Tuscany.
All study materials are drawn from field research conducted by La Leggera and its research and archive center, LASCITO (Social Archives of the Intangible Culture of Eastern Tuscany), ensuring a direct connection with the living memory of the region.
