Scola di Cantu E Voce Carghjisane is a Corsican singing school held in Cargèse at the Spaziu Culturale Natale Rochiccioli. The event belongs to the island’s vocal culture because it focuses on cantu, the practice that underpins many forms of Corsican song and polyphony. Children and adults can take part, which gives the meeting a useful intergenerational character. Instead of presenting singing only as performance, the session treats voice as something learned, shared and carried inside a local community on the western coast of Corsica.

Concert Polyphonique I Campagnoli in Bonifacio
I Campagnoli bring Corsican polyphonic and sacred song to Église Saint-Dominique in Bonifacio on 25 June 2026. The setting gives the concert depth: Bonifacio’s historic church architecture matches a repertoire shaped by spiritual memory, collective voice and island identity. The evening is strongest when Corsican vocal tradition meets a place where stone, acoustics and community history reinforce the music. The evening gives visitors a focused introduction to polyphony as a living practice, carried by singers who keep the repertory present in public spaces.
Bastia in Cantu 2026 – Corsican Polyphony at Saint-Jean-Baptiste
Bastia in Cantu gives visitors regular access to Corsican polyphonic singing inside Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste. The Friday series matters because it makes an emblematic vocal tradition available throughout the season rather than limiting it to a single festival night. The church setting reinforces the sacred and communal dimensions of the repertoire, while the recurring format gives Bastia a clear musical rhythm from June onward. For a regional culture base, the event is a strong listing because it connects place, voice, memory and visitor access without diluting the Corsican identity of the music.
