UNFORGETTABLE ENCOUNTERS WITH
SONGWRITERS
Offering an "equipped" stage where songwriters
can conduct dress rehearsals before they go on tour is a new vocation
for the province as well as a decision to promote the areas professional
and commercial resources. The town of Tione's project is to make
après-ski a new "area" of artistic and cultural
programming capable of bringing together production and training
as a way to involving local young people of the territory. The
events, which are organized by the Artegiovani Association and
the Municipality of Tione, with the cooperation of the Santa Chiara
Cultural Services Centre, have been highly successful.
The meetings with Ivano Fossati and Francesco De Gregori provided
a unique training opportunity and helped create a real "musical
environment" in the area, a singular experience that concluded
with "live" general rehearsals held in Tione's Battisti
Square. The public was enthralled by the images created by the
double thread of music and lyrics, which are the characteristic
elements that make the work of Italian songwriters a special form
of literature with its own artistic autonomy.
The musical couple for excellence of this
summer 2006, Edoardo Bennato and Alex Britti scored a super hit
with the Trentino public in their August 21st concert inaugurating
the new Sarca di Vigo Rendena Park. With improvisation and sparkling
virtuosity, the two songwriters alternated on the stage and sang
duets from the best of their repertoires, playing with their mastery
of the music and sharing their passion for energetic and melodic
"Rhythm & Blues". It was a 3-hour long musical celebration.
