Renowned the world over for his soaring tenor voice and passionate stage presence, Vittorio Grigòlo learned his craft as a chorister in the legendary Sistine Chapel Choir in the Vatican, at the very source of western sacred music. Drawing inspiration from this time, he now brings together an intimate collection of uplifting and beautiful spiritual songs, together with the very choir that shaped his musical beginnings.

“I want to let people know where I come from and to share something of my history with them. It’s a tribute to all the people who helped me, to the hours we spent studying and practising in those little rooms inside the chapel, and to the incredible music we sang together.” Vittorio Grigòlo
