Vatican
City, 24 June 2013 (VIS) – At 5:30pm Saturday afternoon in the Paul
VI Audience Hall, a concert sponsored by the Pontifical Council for
Promoting the New Evangelization as part of the Year of Faith was
given. After Archbishop Rino Fisichella, president of that dicastery,
greeted those present on behalf of the Holy Father, who couldn't
attend because of an “urgent task that cannot be put off but must
be dealt with at the present moment”, he read the Pope's words of
thanks to the organizers, singers, choir, and orchestra. Then the
Italian Symphonic Orchestra of the RAI, conducted by Juraj Valcuha,
performed Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 in D minor op.125, accompanied
by the Choir of the National Academy of St Cecilia.
