<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
RE-RESCHEDULED TO Monday February 17, 2014 In this presentation\/workshop, Enzo and Lorenzo Mancuso will share a variety of stories and anecdotes as well as vocal and instrumental techniques to investigate the expressiveness of traditional Sicilian songs in relation to contemporary theatre and music. The Mancusos will play samples of compositions that have marked their international career in music, theatre and film, and illustrate how their musical experience lies between the evocation of ancient Mediterranean cultures and innovative research. Towards the end, they will concentrate on one specific Sicilian song and walk participants through a focused appreciation and experience. Essentially, the presentation\/workshop is the occasion for an intimate search in which the traditional song becomes one\u2019s own song through the narration of personal feelings. The presentation\/workshop will be held in English and interspersed with Italian and Sicilian words. Free and open to the public.<\/p>\n About Enzo and Lorenzo Mancuso<\/strong> As for theater, they have worked with Emma Dante for the opera\u00a0Medea<\/em>\u00a0and for Teatro delle Albe. Their song \u201cAccussi Va La Barca Al Mari\u201d is included in the CD\u00a0Italian Musical Odyssey<\/em>\u00a0by the Putumayo World Music label.

\nThe Mancuso brothers, Enzo and Lorenzo, are originally from the Sicilian province of Caltanissetta. In the mid-1970s, they emigrated to London where they worked for eight years in the metal industry, while keeping the old musical traditions from Sicily alive in contact with various musical environments (jazz, pop). In 1981, they returned to Italy and now reside in Umbria. One of the crucial moments in their career was the encounter with Joaquin Diaz, a Spanish musician with whom they recorded the two CDs\u00a0Nesci Maria<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Romancese se Alla y de Aca<\/em>. Film director Anthony Minghella used parts of their CD\u00a0Bella Maria<\/em>\u00a0for the soundtrack of the film\u00a0The Talented Mr. Ripley<\/em>, where the Mancusos also appear as actors.<\/p>\n
