Music as Prayer
In life's most sacred moments, music becomes prayer and touches the soul of those who listen
Wedding tenor in Palermo: a voice among mosaics, domes and palaces
In Palermo couples marry beneath the golden mosaics of Monreale, in the baroque churches of the old town, in Arab-Norman basilicas. Then they celebrate in noble salons with mirrors and stucco, in Art Nouveau villas, on terraces facing Mondello. A wedding tenor in Palermo must know how to move through all these spaces: Maestro Ilarion sings the most intense moments of the Mass in church and accompanies the reception with arias and romanzas.
In church: Ave Maria and the hymns of the Mass
In Palermo's great churches the voice needs measure: it must fill the nave without losing sweetness. The Maestro sings the psalm, communion and the Ave Maria, by Schubert, Gounod or Caccini, together with the parish organist, and prepares the programme with the priest. To build yours, start from our guide to church wedding songs.
Palermo, Monreale, Cefalù and the province
The Maestro sings in Palermo, Monreale and throughout the province, from Bagheria to Cefalù. Every historic church has its own rules on times, photographers and music: they are checked well in advance, so there are no surprises on the wedding day.
Flash mob in church: a choir of the people who love you
In Palermo the flash mob in church has become one of the most moving gifts: friends and relatives rise from the pews one after another at the signing, guided by the Maestro. The parts are prepared with audio tracks, even remotely, and a few live rehearsals are enough to bring the voices together.
The reception in historic palaces
In halls with frescoes and gilded stucco, music becomes part of the set: an operatic voice welcoming the guests, a piano during dinner, an opera aria as the couple enters the hall. Many palaces have rules on volume and times: the Maestro knows them and adapts.

Testimonials translated from Italian.
We chose Corrado to accompany the celebration of our wedding and we are deeply grateful. His voice, intense and full of sensitivity, turned every hymn into a true prayer, helping us and our guests live the sacrament with recollection and emotion. With professionalism, discretion and great faith he made the liturgy even more intense. Heartfelt thanks for giving voice to our prayer on the most beautiful day of our lives.

Giulia B.
An astonishing voice. He sang at my wedding and I can only say thank you: he moved everyone and, with his singing, helped make my special day perfect.
Emanuele Basile
We have worked together on several occasions, both performing at weddings and religious services and composing pieces for special occasions such as a Jubilee Hymn. Always a pleasant and kind person, with his voice and the intensity of his interpretation, which combines passion, heart and technique, he always warms the hearts of those who listen. Bravo!
