Concert Honors Migrant Lives in Milan

A concert in Milan on October 3, 2024, will honor the thousands of migrants who have died in the Mediterranean, featuring instruments crafted from the wood of migrant boats and a performance of Mozart’s Requiem arranged by Eva Impellizzeri. The event, part of the 'Metamorphosis' project, aims to transform symbols of danger into tools of beauty and reflection. Meanwhile, Opera San Antonio's upcoming production 'Cruzar la cara de la luna' will be its first Spanish-language and contemporary opera, highlighting themes of identity and belonging through the lens of a Mexican immigrant family. The international Mahler Chamber Orchestra will perform Mozart's works at the Proms, showcasing the composer's enduring legacy. Additionally, the Viva Palestina Orchestra will present Palestinian folk songs to raise funds for health initiatives, while Casa Verdi remains a testament to composer Giuseppe Verdi's philanthropy, providing a retirement haven for impoverished musicians. These cultural events reflect a deep engagement with social issues and the arts.
