2025-05-25 00:00
The show tells the story of a forest and its inhabitants: cats, squirrels, foxes, and lions, engaged in a revolt against a selfish king who wants all the river’s water for himself.
In an imaginary world with cartoonish tones, the young performers bring to the stage the value of coexistence, solidarity, and the search for common solutions to shared problems.
Costumes, sets, dialogues, and music arise from a collective process. The show reflects the pedagogical line of Nova Cantica: a choral work, without absolute protagonists, where every voice is important.
On stage the Artinscena Laboratory, Canto Piccoli, Children’s Choir, and Youth Choir. Texts and direction by Grazia Capraro and Elisabetta Da Rold. Set design and costumes by Andrea Caldart.
At the piano Isa Carlin, instrumental group “Trio G.no” with Luca Agostini on bass, Orazio Osteo on piano, and Fabrizio Bridda on drums.
Musical direction by Luciano Borin and Debora Piol.
For information and reservations, contact Centro Studi Vocali Nova Cantica A.P.S. tel. 0039 345 0368742, email novacantica.bl@gmail.com.

Musical Matinée Review, with “The Harps of Versailles”.

Convegno Internazionale sull’Affresco. Passato, presente, futuro.
2025-05-25 00:00
The conference, structured over two days, has been designed to introduce an ever-widening audience to the technique of fresco painting, which, after its emergence in the Middle Eastern-Mediterranean area, is little known to have been primarily developed in Italy.
The second day of the conference focuses on presentations by fresco artists who have been entrusted with discussing their personal experiences as fresco painters.
The morning opens with a public assembly of the Cultural Association for Fresco. The main objective is to inform as broad an audience as possible about the work done over more than ten years of activity in order to gather as many adherents as possible.
The morning continues with two presentations centered on the personal experiences of fresco painters who do not work in a cultural environment like Italy but in Japan and Mexico. The goal is to compare fresco artists not only on a technical level but especially on a cultural level to highlight the characteristics and types of evolution of the artistic discourse in today’s conditions.
Still adhering to this principle, the subsequent presentation will include a discussion of the different cultures, presented by young Italian and American fresco artists who have exchanged experiences by creating their own frescoes in each other’s socio-cultural contexts.
After the lunch break (from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM), the focus will return to personal experience, but through the lens of interpreting the work of a great fresco artist in the history of fresco, Fra Angelico, whose life and works will be narrated by a very competent speaker: Maestro Giulio Bellocchio.
Remaining on the theme of personal experience, there will be a presentation on the technical difficulties that a fresco painter encounters when creating a fresco.
The presentation will be delivered by Maestro Fresco Artist Vico Calabrò. Moderated by Engineer Gianvittore Vaccari, the second day of the proceedings will conclude with a round table to which all the speakers who have alternated in sharing their personal, technical, and historical experiences of the works of fresco artists will be invited.
Free and open access.
For information, write to pigmentiaps@gmail.com.

A series of front-line presentations delivered by artists, professionals, and enthusiasts on the history and technique of fresco painting.
