This first performance of the Multicultural Choir “The Cantamondo” is meant to be a tale in music of the journey that began last October. Learning how to be together, how to move together, and above all learning how to have fun while playing with singing while truly feeling that everyone is equally important in building a single voice.Through all the elements that characterize choral singing, even music theory we will recount all of this during the performance, making people sense, through music and storytelling, how beautiful, effective and challenging it is to build a new system together, one that welcomes in profoundly different languages and cultures with a single shared goal.

The fourteenth edition of Libri Come Festa del Libro e della Lettura, produced by the Fondazione Musica per Roma and curated by Marino Sinibaldi, Rosa Polacco and Michele De Mieri, closes with 15,000 attendees, registering a 20 percent increase in audience numbers over the previous edition. Packed halls and all events sold out for this edition that centered on the theme of Power declined in all its forms and possible interpretations.

Among the Italians Niccolò Ammaniti, Alessandro Barbero, Mauro Covacich, Paolo Giordano, Antonella Lattanzi, Loredana Lipperini, Francesca Mannocchi, Dacia Maraini, Melania Mazzucco, Daniele Mencarelli, Paolo Nori, Romana Petri, Francesco Piccolo, Rosella Postorino, Massimo Recalcati, Domenico Starnone, Walter Siti, Chiara Valerio, Sandro Veronesi, Zerocalcare.

“This was a very important edition both because of the theme addressed and because of the historical moment in which it was proposed,” says Daniele Pitteri, CEO of the Fondazione Musica per Roma . and the large participation of citizens shows how it is increasingly necessary for cultural institutions to stimulate reflection and debate around major current issues while trying to meet the increasingly urgent demand for answers to questions about the present. Fondazione Musica per Roma continues to pursue this goal by making appointments as early as April with the Science Festival and in May with Ethos Public Ethics Day.”

Dave Burrel’s new recording project is a dialogue of relentless exploration and excitement, from the inside out, from ragtime to no-time.

“Harlem Rhapsody represents the synthesis of my music and at the same time a glimpse of the future” declares Burrell “there is no fixed style, but a continuous interchange and exchange of information, invention and passion, between past and present, present and future: a dialogue of incessant exploration and excitement, from inside to outside, from ragtime to no-time“.

The artist then confides the intensity of his relationship with the Belpaese: “ Italy is my second home and with the city of Rome I have a special bond. I am proud and happy that this album was produced right here and is being presented at this historic moment. Italian audiences deeply understand and appreciate my music, and I am proud of that“.
