MUNYA SIMANGO | HARARE - Mar 18 2011 16:49
The Viva Verdi recital, a concert featuring internationally acclaimed Italian flautist Francesca Canali and Zimbabwean pianist
Manuel Bagorro, will open the cultural programme to celebrate 150 years of Italian unification.
The concert will be held on March 24 2011 at the National Art Gallery and the two artistes will perform classical pieces from
some of Italy’s greatest composers.
These include G Donizetti (1797-1848), J Anderson (1847-1909), G Rossini (1792-1868), J Remusat (1815-1880), G Verdi (1813-
1901), G Briccialdi (1818-1881), L Berio (1925-2003), N Rota (1911-1979), F Morlacchi (1784-1841) and II Pastore Svizzero.
Soloist and chamber musician Francesca Canali was born in Rome and has a broad international education.
She graduated at prestigious institutions in Rome, Paris and Salzburg where she benefited from the teaching of the great flautists
including Irena Grafenauer, Patrick Gallois, Angelo Persichilli, Micheal Kofler and Maxence Larrieu.
Canali has won numerous awards at national and international competitions including first prize at the Maria Canals interna-
tional music competition in Spain in 2001.
She has performed in celebrated concert venues and prestigious festivals throughout Europe, South and Central America, Japan,
Russia and South Africa.
As part of the cultural exchange programme to commemorate 150th anniversary of Italian unification, Francesca Canali will
during her stay in Zimbabwe host workshops at Hellenic Primary School, Hellenic International Academy, Chisipite Senior
School and Prince Edward School.
Manuel Bagorro is Zimbabwe’s most celebrated solo pianist and accompanist with international acclaim. He has performed in 11
countries and won prizes in the Newport International and Royal Overseas League Piano Competitions.
He performed in the John Schlesinger film, Madame Sousatzka starring Shirley Maclaine, and has appeared as soloist with the
BBC Welsh and Cape Town Symphony Orchestras.

programme in Harare with British ballerina Darcey Bussell.
His wide-ranging accompanying experience includes a performance with Albanian tenor Samir Pirgu at a Guildhall gala to
mark the presentation of Luciano Pavarotti with the Freedom of the City of London.
Manuel is founder and artistic director of the Harare International Festival of the Arts (Hifa) and consults with Carnegie Hall,
New York, on their much publicised community engagement programme, Musical Connections.
This year Italy celebrates the 150th anniversary of unification. March 17 has been declared a national holiday in Italy to celebrate
this important occasion.
Festivities will begin on this date and continue throughout the year to commemorate important landmarks in Italian history
and anniversaries of historical figures that contributed to the Italian Unification, acknowledging the places that have hosted the
events by restoring life and lustre to monuments that commemorate them.
Italian embassies all over the world will participate by organising specific events to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Unity
of Italy.
In Zimbabwe, the Embassy of Italy in collaboration with the traditional partners will be celebrating by organising several events.
These events include an exhibition of paintings by Italian artists dating from 1600-1700 to be held at the National Art Gallery,
and a screening of a selection of Italian films, a performance by an Italian band, Amanda e la Banda, at the annual Harare Jazz
Festival and the Italian Jazz Festival to be held at the Italian Club in October.
A united Italy was proclaimed 150 years ago and since then, the country has gone through two wars, the economic boom, has
seen the maturing of its social composition, has joined the European Union and is in the ranks of most industrialised nations of
the world.
