The Unitre choir of Modica also participated this year in the Regional Festival of Choirs of the University of the Third Age.
The event, now in its 13th edition, took place in Messina, at the Palazzo della Cultura, after, last year, it was held in Modica. The event, organized by the Unitre headquarters of the city of the Strait chaired by Basilio Manaci, attracted a lot of attention and saw the participation not only of the members of the participating choirs, but also of the numerous delegations from the various Sicilian headquarters.
Directed by maestro Orazio Baglieri and accompanied, on the pianola, by maestro Giorgio Cannizzaro, the Modica choir was composed of Enzo Agosta, Carmela Basile, Maria Battaglia, Giuseppa Cannarella, Liliana Cannizzaro, Tina Cassisi, Maria Gintoli, Maria Pina Giurdanella, Grazia Guarrella, Grazia Nicastro, Concetta Rendo, Maria Consetta Ruta, Giovanna Scivoletto, Rosa Stornello, Concetta Stracquadanio and Maria Carmela Zocco .
The choir performed the songs “si risestain ciel l’aurora” (from Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata), “coro a bucca closed” (from Madame Butterfly), “the sound of silente” (by Paul Simon) and “i will follow him” (from “Sister Act) . Once again the Modica Choir, again thanks to the level of preparation, stood out, performed well and was publicly appreciated.
“We have had a significant and rewarding experience – underlined President Enzo Cavallo – The work carried out with commitment, dedication and sacrifices during the academic year has borne fruit. The results speak for themselves. All this also thanks to the recognized professionalism of the masters Baglieri and Cannizzaro”.
