Giovanni Allevi, composer and pianist, will play a piano solo
The concert's title will be "Food moves the world", and it will take place in Expo Milano 2015's Conference Center at 20:00 hours, launching the celebration of the 2015 World Food Day the following day, Friday October 16. The public will be greeted by the projection of various videos focused on the importance and significance of the new Development Agenda recently adopted in New York, after which the concert will begin, featuring a solo by Giovanni Allevi followed by two different musical ensembles: the Orchestra Fronteras Musicales Abiertas and the No Hunger Orchestra.
Giovanni Allevi is one of the most successful current Italian composers in uniting melodies rooted in the classical tradition with contemporary sounds and influences. The virtuoso pianist from Ascoli has already given one concert in Expo Milano 2015, during the ceremony for the inauguration of the Save The Children Pavilion. Orchestra Fronteras Musicales Abiertas is an ensemble of nearly ninety musicians from both South America and Italy, thanks to a collaboration with Milan's Orchestra di via Padova. The No Hunger Orchestra - promoted by the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Department (ECHO) and the Action Against Hunger organization - combines music and humanitarian vision with one particularly striking feature: it reinforces its message by using musical instruments made from the inedible parts of food produce.
