I Colori del Sole Live

If you are looking for something a bit different to do on a Sunday evening, the St Nicholas’ Church is hosting a performance by the chorus I Colori del Sole on May 31, 2026. The group is bringing their show, I Colori del Sole Live, to Brighton as part of the Brighton Italian Festival Fringe. They focus on traditional Sicilian folk songs, aiming to capture the emotional depth and history of the island through their choral arrangements. It is a specific kind of performance that relies on the narrative quality of the songs, which are sung in the original Sicilian language.

To make the performance accessible, the group provides full translations and brief introductions for each piece. This approach is intended to help the audience follow the themes of the songs, which often touch on life in Sicily, including the local landscape and history. The event starts at 18:00 at the church, located on Church St, Brighton BN1 3LJ. It is a ticketed event, with entry priced at £15, and booking in advance is recommended to secure a spot.

Beyond the music, the evening includes a bit of a culinary element. Attendees will be served a portion of rianata, a traditional Sicilian dish, and there will be a small bar available on-site serving wine and beer. It is a straightforward setup: a mix of choral music, a taste of regional food, and a relaxed setting in one of the city's historic venues. Whether you have a specific interest in Italian folk music or are just looking for a quiet way to spend a Sunday evening, the event offers a clear look at this particular aspect of Sicilian culture.
