Voci di umanità - Progetto musicale dell’orchestra di fiati della svizzera italiana
Overview
Intro
As part of the centenary celebrations of the Mendrisio Civic Philharmonic.
We live in a time of growing distance between people. The world is marked by wars. Narratives polarize and distance, migrations frighten.
With the Voices of Humanity project, we offer a musical reflection on the human condition. The program features pieces that will allow us to perceive humanity as a whole, regardless of country of origin, united by universal experiences such as love, dreams, the desire for freedom, and suffering.
The OFSI will be accompanied by solo singers and a choir, embodying the voice of all human beings on planet Earth.
