Melika Ngombe Kolongo aka Nkisi is a London-based experimental musician and artist with a Kongo family history. As part of the Merano Arte Aerolectics exhibition, Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński invites Nkisi for a sound performance that resonates with elements of the exhibition. The name Nkisi refers to the fetishes widespread in much of central Africa, bearers of spiritual and non-material power. Her sound performances weave together experimentation with ancient musical techniques, liveness and the active involvement of the audience, who in dance, with their bodies, are invited to incorporate sound traditions that imply cultural resistance to the power structures of the global present.

Masimba Hwati - Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński 
Storming Breath. Soundings to Asue* (2025)

Masimba Hwati is an artist born in Mhondoro (Zimbabwe) who experiments with sound, sculpture, video and performance. With ‘found objects’ assembled on site, Hwati creates performable sculptures like wind instruments to which new life is breathed into with the breath of the musicians who manipulate them.

Masimba Hwati's performance is in combination with Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński's exhibition Aerolectics 

The Adventures of Pinocchio, a sacred book
Igor Sibaldi unveils the treasures contained in Collodi's famous tale

Igor Sibaldi, a writer, philologist, translator and essayist whose breadth of interests and fields of enquiry go well beyond the aforementioned qualifications, proposes his reading of Collodi's text, which far from being considered ‘only’ a children's book or ‘only’ a literary masterpiece, is presented as a true sacred text, dense with biblical references and liberating indications for human existence rooted in ancient knowledge.

Igor Sibaldi, born of a Russian mother and an Italian father, was initially a translator for Mondadori of various works, especially by Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, for whom he also wrote monographs and introductory essays. He then dedicated himself to his work as an author and to philosophical and theological research.
As an author, he has to his credit an endless bibliography that includes non-fiction, fiction and theatre. He is also known to the public for his oratorical skills, which are expressed in numerous lectures and seminars.

Gabriele Mirabassi and Simone Zanchini in concert:

Top meeting between two great virtuosi of their instrument, as well as protagonists of the international music scene. The musical transversality that distinguishes both of them allows them to express themselves with ease in both the world of jazz and classical music. In this duo, the sensuality of South American rhythms and the pulsating depth of old swing are mixed with the sonorities of a modern, contemporary jazz that is expressed in the compositional style of both
 

Twins in Heaven and on Earth
Riccardo Nova: Rudra Mantra, Kunti Mantra and Combat
(excerpts from Mahābhārata opera project)
for harp, percussion, electric guitar, electronics

From the famous epic and sacred book Mahabharata. A profound reflection on Hinduism as the basis from which the poem moves to offer a unique perspective on human existence and its myriad contradictory facets.

Composer Riccardo Nova reinterprets the Indian epic, bringing mantras, ancestral rhythms and contemporary sounds to the stage with effectiveness and balance. The work ‘Mahābhārata - Mantras, Fights and Threnody’ earned Riccardo Nova a nomination as a finalist for one of Europe's highest awards for composition, the ‘Prix Prince du Monaco’.

Word and Music

Canti dal silenzio by Marcello Fera.

Followed by a dialogue between the author and Maestro Vanni Moretto

sound installation

The level was high in all respects, splendid and homogeneous sound on all four strings, almost impeccable intonation and an extremely polished way of delivering or removing any musical element. [...]Marcello Fera has been able to reach the Fera has managed to reach the primordial place of every musician [...] that enchantment with which the relationship with the music is born and that it is the privilege of a few to preserve - achieved not by fortune but by consciousness, as it came to us explaining

Francesco Denini on SuonoSonda

It was not a concert in the strict sense of the word: Fera invented a way of being on stage that was really little frequented by the instrumentalists and even composers, because by playing he told his story, he told his art and his life as an artist.
