Pinocchio Choreography by IIvan Cavallari Music, Enrico Melozzi Conductor, Myron Romanul Set, Edoardo Sanchi Costume, Maria Porro Lights, Jon Buswell Tenor, Jean Christophe Born Opéra national du Rhin ballet Mulhouse symphonic orchestra Once there was a piece of wood... Carved by old carpenter Geppetto, Pinocchio, a cheeky puppet with an unruly nose provokes all around him, as well as his fate. He is dispatched to the land of toys, where donkeys and young boys look alarmingly alike, and finally ends up in the belly of a sea monster... At the end of this initiation journey, his will and courage get the better of his wooden body, and he becomes a real boy. Ivan Cavallari has kept in touch with the child in himself and brings to life the most salient episodes in the puppet's story. The imaginative sets of Edoardo Sanchi and the music of Enrico Melozzi bring a new strength to Carlo Collodi's tale.

The Sound of New York, Mark Turner 'The Sound of New York' is the exploration of the musical world of a new generation of artists based in New York City. These musicians hail from different countries, with their own stories and diverse experiences, are giving birth to a new musical wave that takes shape influencing worldwide the artistic scene. It's right in New York today that this impulse is stronger than ever: the sounds come from a deep integration of music of the past and today, interacting with other artistic forms. It's a modern concentration of African-American music influences, including classical and contemporary, as well as more mainstream styles such as Jazz, Hip-Hop, R'B, Rock, etc 10 musicians internationally known will lead us into this world walking along the streets of New York. We will see the places where they live and listen to the music they compose to know their artistic essence. Mark Turner is an American jazz saxophonist. He played the clarinet, followed by the alto and tenor saxophones in high school. In 1990 he moves to New York and worked at Tower Records in New York City for an extended period before working full-time as a jazz musician. Turner's sound is reminiscent of that of Warne Marsh, but he also has elements of John Coltrane in his playing. His improvised lines tend to span several octaves and contain great harmonic and rhythmic complexity. His compositions often make use of repeated patterns, odd-metered time signatures, and intervallic leaps. Turner claims that his music is 'unfolding like a narrative'. In September 2014, Turner released his first album as a leader since 2001 on ECM Records; it features trumpeter Avishai Cohen, bassist Joe Martin, and drummer Marcus Gilmore. Turner is a member of the trio Fly, which includes himself, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Jeff Ballard. Recorded in 2017 TV director, Gloria Rebecchi

Born in Toronto (Canada), he learnt piano and guitar at a young age. He studies at Berklee College of Music. Since 2004, Stevens has established himself in the contemporary jazz scene performing and recording with numerous artists including Christian Scott, Terri Lyne Carrington and Esperanza Spalding.Regarded to be one of 'most exciting up-and-coming jazz guitarists' in his generation, Stevens was placed in the Rising Star Guitar Category of the 63rd Annual DownBeat Critics Poll..

Paco de Lucia , Light & Shade Documentary by Michael Meert Paco de Lucia appeared like a comet on the international scene. His guitar-playing was of a type never before heard-flamenco, yes, but with something quite new. Flamenco music, it roots shrouded in mystery, is certainly integral to his style. Listening to him, though, you can soon hear that he is trying to break several stylistic barriers. The film should not only introduce the star everyone reckons they are familiar with from concerts or recording-the self-assured, grandiose performer, but Paco's readiness to allow a highly personal film portrait of himself means that we can gain a background glimpse into the personality of this fascinating musician. Produced on 1995

She is joined this time by two delicate and unclassifiable voices (Florent Mateo and Ann Shirley) and by three faithful and precious companions (Pierre Perchaud, Christophe Panzani et Tony Paeleman).

Vincent Peirani is the musician that all the jazz and world music venues in the world invite! Accordion Prodigy, he never ceases to explore the richness of an instrument of which only angels know the secrets. An explosive encounter between two sublime artists who create on stage a space which goes beyond music in order to share with us something which is in the order of joy!
