Les chants de Noël corse

As the festive season approaches, the Département is organizing the 34th edition of Chants de Noël, with no fewer than 59 free concerts across the region. From gospel and sea shanties to Corsican and Brazilian traditions, Broadway and Louisiana, the 2026 program invites audiences to celebrate Christmas from every corner of the world.

Following in the footsteps of the Riacquistu movement, the young Corsican ensemble D’oghji è d’umani brings together cultural heritage and contemporary creativity. Led by Arnaud Giacomoni, Lisandru Bonini, Laurent Matteaccioli, Francescu Sabiani and Pierre-François Ucciani, the group’s first album, Di foli è di passioni, offers a thoughtful, contemporary perspective on Corsica today. The show brings together original compositions, folk and Latin influences, Christmas songs and Corsican polyphony, taking audiences on a warm, authentic musical journey to the heart of the island’s identity.
