The "Concert with the Poor" was born in 2015 under the artistic direction of composer and conductor Monsignor Marco Frisina. Since its inception, it has had the blessing of Pope Francis, who described it as "a beautiful moment to share with our brothers and sisters the beauty of music that unites hearts and elevates the spirit."
In its fifth edition, the event welcomed three thousand people in need to the Vatican, combining art and solidarity. This year, Hans Zimmer, celebrated film composer, illuminated the stage with interpretations of his most iconic works. "It is essential to look into the eyes of the most disadvantaged and treat them as brothers and sisters," the director stressed.
