With the ChiaraStella project, the Orchestra Popolare Italiana presents its repertoire of folk tradition songs at the new Auditorium.
This year's program, more than ever rich, includes the presence of Fausta Vetere, one of the main protagonists of the Italian popular song.
This great singer performs some ancient Neapolitan songs accompanied by the Sordellina, the characteristic Neapolitan bagpipes of the seventeenth century whose traces were lost, rebuilt thanks to the study of Marco Tomassi, musicologist and bagpiper of the Orchestra Popolare Italiana.
The novelty of this year, then, are the songs of the Greek Orthodox folk tradition, performed especially in Athens, which find in Theodoro Melissinopoulos one of the most representative interpreters of the Hellenic music scene. He also offers, together with Anna Cirigliano's Choros Folk Dances Group, some ceremonial dances and begging songs used in the Byzantine musical repertoire of Advent time.
The different cultures and religious traditions manage to harmonize perfectly thanks to this project which never ceases to amaze.
