PROPOSALS / PROJECTS

PROPOSALS ARE:

Concert on stage

presents a repertoire of pieces that can have a variable duration depending on the program requirements

Klezmer & Yiddish Music

the project that avails itself of the collaboration of the singer Maria Teresa Milano presents an instrumental and vocal / instrumental concert of klezmer songs and the Yiddish tradition

"Shtetl!"

The Shtetl, the Jewish village of Eastern Europe, that world at times fantastic and surrounded by a melancholy charm, relives through our musical proposal made of songs klezmer of songs in Yiddish to illustrate everyday life up to the tragedy of lives broken by the Shoah

"The Courage of Liberty"

Sophie Scholl, Monaco; Duccio Galimberti and Italia Libera, Cuneo; Hannah Szenes, Yugoslavia; Emanuel Ringelblum, Warsaw; Friedl Dicker Brandeis, Prague ... In universities, ghettos and mountains throughout Europe, many resisted nazifascism by taking up arms, offering shelter to the persecuted, deceiving the centers of power. The Courage of Liberty is a musical narrative that recalls the stories and faces of those who knew how to distinguish good from evil and courageously opposed the war and atrocities of the regime, giving meaning to life and the value of freedom.

Recital "There is nothing to be afraid of"

the project was conceived for the celebrations of the "Memory Day" but can also be found in the form of a thematic show on Jewish music and life just before the Second World War. An intense and exciting show, a mixture of voices and music with the dreamy rhythm of the book, a bit surreal and ironic; a touching photograph of Jewish life before the war the painful story of a wound that has not yet healed. Taken from a masterpiece of twentieth century literature, signed by the Israeli writer of Romanian origin, Aharon Appelfeld. Text for the theater: Maria Teresa Milano Music: Mishkalè (with arrangements by Andrea Verza) Advice: Sarah Kaminski.
