Feeling better with age..


Fewer bad memories?
There are several theories that might explain why people feel better with age that don't have to do with lifestyle factors. It could be, for example, that older people are better at controlling their emotions than younger people. Or it might have some
thing to do with nostalgia, the idea that older people remember fewer negative memories and so are happier.

LA FENICE IN INDONESIA, THE JOY IN A VIOLIN

ANSA/ MUSIC: 


LA FENICE IN INDONESIA, THE JOY IN A VIOLIN.
SARA MICHIELETTO HAS SPENT SEVERAL MONTHS IN INDONESIA WORKING WITH UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN 


(by Maurizio Salvi)


(ANSA) - NEW DELHI, 13 JUNE – To underscore the oft-neglected but significant social dimension of music, the Venice Opera House Teatro La Fenice encouraged one of its top violinists, Sara Michieletto, to spend some months in Indonesia developing a programme directed at fostering the promotion of classical music and offering a joyous approach to it to disadvantaged children and young people. 

The programme, entitled 'The Strains of Violin in South East Asia 2010-2011', has just come to an end and it followed the broad outline of a similar initiative which Sara successfully directed two years ago in Chennai, in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.    


In an interview with ANSA, Michieletto told us that she worked in three different locations (Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Surabaya), where she organized nine concerts and two shows, one of which for Radio Republik Indonesia, broadcast live on radio and TV, in addition to numerous ‘Introduction to Music’ lessons and master classes.
