Pilgrimage of musicians and singers to Rome with service in St. Peter's Basilica participation in the great Romparade and visit of the Regina Coeli on St. Peter's Square with Pope Francis

Once again the "Eternal City" - after the great successes in previous years - opens its doors to brass music.

Every year, Courtial International - with the support of the Associazione Internazionale Amici della Fondazione pro Musica e Arte Sacra - organizes a "Grand Parade" in Rome. This parade is a very special event for brass bands, fanfares, marching bands and traditional costume groups, who bring their music directly to the heart of the Eternal City in the Vatican. Take part in this extraordinary event and perform your art in front of a Roman audience and tourists from all over the world.
