To me, the CantOstuni experience represented more than just a music masterclass. It was a magic period of time that has offered me the opportunity to discover the important ingredients of singing and life, the relationship between our feelings with our voice, and also, the beauty of working, learning and sharing with other people the passion for music. Through this artistic journey, I got to know more about my vocal abilities, I could actually feel their fullness and complexity, but most importantly, my brain learned to process the evolution of my sound’s emotions. The singing lessons fed my energy in a really positive way, the atmosphere was full of harmony, but also hard work. What I loved the most about these lessons was the fact that besides getting to become more aware of our voices, we also got the chance to express our weaknesses, and why not, experience them, deeply. These moments were the ones that made me realize the powerful connection of voice and spirit, performance and sensibility. I think it is essential to know that your capacities are permanently growing and getting more intense when you live the melody. All these notions were instilled to us by our wonderful coordinators, special people, with warm hearts and, of course, a lot of experience.
The dedication, teaching technique, patience, and the love they expressed their ideas with were truly fabulous and constructive. I couldn’t be more grateful for their advice and thoughts! Obviously , I can’t finish my impression without mentioning my favorite moment of the project, the one I had enjoyed the most. Our first public performance was titled “Confluenze religiose”. The message behind it was to show the valuable connection, and beauty of religions. I remember the strong vibrations my soul was dancing with, that evening…the warm-smiling audience, and, of course, the majestic church that was hosting the special energy. It was a moment full of different emotions, stories, and feelings, everything was floating around us…and I think that this is how it should be. CantOstuni was a great experience for my musical self, but also for my soul. The preparation time, body-awareness and music lessons, the strolls, the concerts, the people, and the fairy-tale atmosphere of Ostuni have created an unforgettable memory that I’m planning to keep forever in my heart.
