“Bisogna guardare, saper ascoltare e gridare al mondo ogni forma di violenza”
ORA VEDO ORA SENTO ORA PARLO
Da sempre siamo spettatori di “atti di violenza” che molto spesso rimangono inascoltati, “discutere” su questo è il modo più efficace per destare le coscienze, considerando che la “denuncia” è fondamentale per incoraggiare a rompere il silenzio su ogni forma di violenza!
La campagna di sensibilizzazione artistica socio-culturale "ORA VEDO ORA SENTO ORA PARLO" lanciata il 25 novembre 2020 a Roma, nasce dalla consapevolezza in cui l’espressione culturale e musicale diventano gli strumenti più significativi per raggiungere la “coscienza collettiva”.
L’obiettivo è quello di comunicare il “MESSAGGIO DELLA NON VIOLENZA”: il multiculturalismo e il sodalizio dei protagonisti, un violinista “uomo” nella figura dell'eclettico violinista armeno-libanese Ara Malikian, in antitesi e in sintonia con il trio di soprano Appassionante ne sono la prova, perché anche se siamo diversi, il rispetto e l'individualità di ognuno di noi rende possibile una sana convivenza!
Con il linguaggio universale della musica, vogliamo “risvegliare” emozioni e sensazioni che possano viaggiare senza confini, utilizzando un videoclip come materiale audiovisivo che possa essere visto come mezzo per amplificare una "comunicazione mediatica".
"L'unione fa la forza: creare coesione fa la differenza"
Presentation
Appassionante are an Italian musical trio recognized as the first female group of opera-pop crossover in the world, consisting of Giorgia Villa light soprano, Mara Tanchis dramatic soprano and Stefania Francabandiera spinto soprano.
Appassionante established themselves on the international scene very quickly thanks to their unique style which fuses different musical genres together such as opera, sacred, pop, classical, epic, neapolitan, rock, musicals, bolero, folk and flamenco, among others.
Additionally, thanks to their performances of iconic songs such as Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma”, Albinoni’s “Adagio”, De Curtis’s “Torna a Sorrento”, R. Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly”, Queen’s “The Show Must Go On”, as well as their own original compositions such as “Salve”, “Sete”, “Memories of You”, “You and Me” and “Apasionante” (their first song in Spanish); and finally to musical theater songs like “The Phantom of the Opera”, “Memory” and “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina” by Andrew Lloyd Webber; and “I Dreamed a Dream” by Claude Michel Schönberg.
Let’s not forget how the three artists are involved in the social and in the community: they are always there during events about "Violence against Women".

Biography
Appassionante are made up of Giorgia, Mara and Stefania, three singers that with their unique differences and ability to fuse colored tessituras between their voices, capture all of the passion and energy of Italian lyrical music by blending elegance and femininity, and tradition with modernity.
All started in Rome in 2002, from the vision of the Italian producer Mauro Borzellino and his label Overlook Italia. The idea was to create a crossover genre based on classic-pop and performed by three Mediterranean women, three very skilled lyrical singers.
This unusual mix between lyrical music and pop music immediately generated interest and curiosity: the three girls soon started to perform in many festival and shows; since then they started touring Italy and the world showing their own uniqueness. Their unquestionable scenic and esthetic presence is emphasized and enriched thanks to the co-operation with the Italian fashion stylist Marella Ferrera who has shaped and modelled their esthetic essence by evoking the '500, the era when corset as a costume and opera as a musical genre were born.
Giorgia Villa
Born in Frosinone, Italy. Her first contact with lyrical singing was with the Conservatory of Frosinone "Licinio Refice" and with "The New Spiritual Singers" gospel choir at the conservatory under the direction of Maestro Gerardo Iacoucci. She pursued her studies in London where she lived for four years and improved her classical and modern singing.
Mara Tanchis
Born and raised in Sardegna, Italy. She studied lyrical singing at the Bologna Conservatory and then at the National Academy of St Cecilia. She started taking lessons under the direction of the popular Italian mezzo-soprano Bruna Baglioni.
Stefania Francabandiera
Born in Apulia, Italy. She studied lyrical singing at the Conservatory of Music “Niccolò Piccinni” of Bari and then graduated in modern singing from the CET (European Center of Toscolano), a prestigious school of integral art under the direction of Mogol, with whom she worked for several years.
