“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.
