AMMAN — Music and its power to unite was
celebrated once again last Tuesday through a joint concert performed at Terra
Sancta Auditorium in Amman. The event came about through a close collaboration
between the Nai Choir of Amman, directed by Diana Talhami; the National Music
Conservatory, directed by Mohammed Sidiq; and the Italian Vocal Ensemble of the
Sandro Pertini Music High School of Genoa, directed by Professor Luca
Dellacasa.

The event, promoted by the Italian Embassy in
Amman in collaboration with the Liguria Region, offered a mutual tribute to
traditional Italian and Jordanian classical music, interpreted by the choirs in
unison, in a unique opportunity for exchange between young artists for
professional growth, according to a press statement.
“We hope that this amazing event will only be the
first of a series, allowing our students to carry out experiences to enhance
their talent and their musical preparation,”
said the Head of the Sandro Pertini High School, Mr Cavanna.
He was echoed by the Director of the Liguria
Regional School Office (USR), Mr Clavarino, who remarked on the relevance of
internationalization in education and training policies.
The Pertini High School Vocal Ensemble’s arrival
in Jordan from Genova, Italy, was followed by “an intense week of joint
rehearsals and artistic exchange” between the Italian students and the
musicians of the Nai Choir and the National Music Conservatory of Amman,
according to the statement.
These preparations culminated in the final
concert on Tuesday at the Terra Sancta Auditorium in front of a large
audience.
Ambassador of Italy to Jordan Luciano Pezzotti
said that, without a “particularly solid cultural relationship between Jordan
and Italy, it would not be possible to hold such events.”
“These (events) not only highlight the commitment
to build solid bridges between the two countries, but also to present the
beauty of culture beyond geographical borders and to spread both Italian and
Jordanian expertise and excellence,” the envoy added.
The event is part of the Italian Embassy’s rich
cultural program in Amman to expand Jordanian knowledge of Italian tradition,
culture, and talent. It underlines Italy's commitment to strengthen
collaboration with artists like the Vocal Ensemble of Pertini High School, who
are eager to export their talents and to build solid and long-lasting
cooperation with the Jordanian counterparts.
