“Il Veliero” is
a non-profit organization with social aims, for brevity ONLUS
(in the Italian acronym).
The Association, according to
its ONLUS status:
·
carries out its activities exclusively in the areas of charity,
education,
training,
protection and promotion of culture and art,
·
pursues exclusively charitable purposes.
Our
current major activity is the “Bambini in concerto” choir.
"Children in
Concert" is a choir for children aged between four and ten
years, that drives a show based on songs, composed by Bruno
Brunelli, as regards music and Annalucia Lorizio, with regard to
words.
Our
experience started from a group of friends, mainly teachers in
any kind of schools, that live in the eastern area of Rome (Tuscolana,
Casilina, Torre Maura). It is about twenty adults and as many
children, though the kids grow quickly so that in total they
were about 100 in those past 5 years. We work together by
exploiting the capabilities of each member: creativity, singing,
musical expression, acting, staging, makeup, costumes and
technical support.
Participation in
the choir is free from selection, to underline that the
experience is mostly educational, particularly for those that
experience inclusion difficulties.
