The Dante Musica Viva is a choir made up of members of the Dante Alighieri Society of Canberra, whose love of Italian language and music has led them to share this passion with others through song. The Dante Musica Viva is supported by members of Canberra’s Mandolin Orchestra and other local musicians, led by musical director Francesco Sofo, and jointly conducted by Francesco Sofo and Saverio Palma. The choir will be performing at the annual National Multicultural Festival. The festival will celebrate it's 21st birthday in the centre of Canberra this February and is set to provide a fun and free family-friendly event that includes activities for everyone, shows, food and drink stalls, dancing, and celebrations.
