Composition contest of music in the jewish tradition

Organized by the Union of Jewish Italian Communities (UCEI)

The goal is to enriching this specific area, so deeply important in the various areas of Jewish cultural and religious life.
The contest will be a significant comparison opportunity and meeting between participants, united by the specificity of the proposed theme and the universality of musical language.
