Giogiò Award: A Musical Tribute to Youth and Social Inclusion

Children of 5 years and twenty-year-olds. The young protagonists of the Giogiò Award, promoted by the singers of Posillipo, are of the most diverse ages. The event, named after the young musician killed in Piazza Municipio, is realized within the framework of the project 'Youth and Music as tools for inclusion and social growth: an operational experience', funded by the Banco di Napoli Foundation, scheduled for Friday, March 22 (at 19:00) at the Chiesa delle Crocelle al Chiatamone. The evening, promoted by Santina Picone, president of the musical association 'I Cantori di Posillipo', and by Gaetano Raiola, director of the choral ensemble, will be presented by Veronica Maya and includes the performance of three schools that have stood out in the musical educational field, from kindergarten and primary school to the Musical High School, passing through the Secondary school of first degree with a musical address. Therefore, the stage will welcome the Little Singers of the Comprehensive Institute '29° Miraglia-Sogliano' of Naples, directed by Gaetano Raiola, the orchestra of the middle school with a musical address 'Massimo Stanzione' of Frattamaggiore, directed by Giuseppe Di Colandrea, and the vocal ensemble of the musical high school 'Perito-Levi' of Eboli (Salerno), directed by Antonella De Chiara. The Cantori di Posillipo will pay tribute to the memory of Giovanbattista Cutolo with the performance of two pieces from Karl Jenkins' 'Requiem', a composition that was performed by the same choral ensemble last March with Giogiò in the orchestra as second horn. During the evening, young talents will be awarded, who, thanks to the Cantori project, had the opportunity to perform alongside musicians from the Teatro San Carlo and the Music Conservatories of Campania. The awards will be presented by Daniela Di Maggio, mother of Giovanbattista Cutolo, and testimonial of the event.
