MAGNIFICAT: Dieci anni di Davide

**THE CONCERT: An International Excellence Gifted to the Community** On **February 21, 2026**, at **7:30 PM**, the **Basilica Cathedral of Conversano** will host "Magnificat," a prestigious original production by **Musicamorfosi**, born from the creative vision of **Saul Beretta**. An event with international scope that features three exceptional artists united to testify that **beauty** is a **common good.** This is not merely a performance but a participation driven by the desire to embrace, through sound, the story of every "David" in the land.
- **Giovanni Falzone (Trumpet)**: A prominent figure in contemporary European jazz, already the First Trumpet of the "G. Verdi" Symphony Orchestra of Milan under maestros like Claudio Abbado and Riccardo Chailly. On this evening, Falzone brings his prodigious technique to serve tenderness, transforming virtuosity into an intimate dialogue with the soul.
- **Badrya Razem (Voice)**: An artist with a rare multifaceted ability, capable of blending jazz, ethnic, lyrical, and pop singing. In the Magnificat, she embodies a universal Mary, singing in Italian, English, and Arabic. For us, her voice is proof that goodness will cover every wound.
- **Roberto Olzer (Organ)**: An "architect of sound" applauded in Europe and Japan, he is a master at making sacred repertoire converse with the modern nuances of improvisation, turning the instrument into a living lung that breathes with the audience.
Unique artists, **"of giants,"** who will be here for each of us with humility and participation, with the truth of their deeply human and artistic souls.
**The Program:** An emotional journey from *Pergolesi to Philip Glass*, from the pacifist texts of *Allen Ginsberg* to *"Amazing Grace."* We chose this intertwining because only a language that transcends boundaries could translate the desire to **walk together towards a shared light.**

**THE ASSOCIATION: The Memory that Generates Life.** This concert is organized by the **Musica d’Incanto "Davide Gaetano D’Accolti" Association.** Starting from David, the Association has understood that memory — "to carry in the heart" — cannot remain fixed in nostalgia but must become a commitment to carrying life forward, with the same tenderness with which we love those who are no longer here.
Over the years, the Association has become the driving force behind projects that testify to the existence of a *new dawn*: from the restoration of ancient organs to the enhancement of forgotten frescoes. Having understood on our skin the *power of good presence* pushes us to give this gift back to those who traverse their fragility. Every note is a way to continue to "cultivate and preserve" that garden of beauty that David loved so much.

**THE MEANING OF THE CONCERT: To be "guardians" of others' light.** This evening was created to commemorate the **"Ten Years of David."** For us, it is a bridge of love. We want to rediscover the sense of Peace as a *"bread shared together."* We are here to add beauty to beauty, convinced that each person can be a *savior for others,* even with a simple gesture of tenderness towards those sitting next to us. On a day like this, the question is: can we still be happy? Can we always smile and be grateful to life?
**Happiness as Fertility** From the Latin *felix*, happy does not mean "joy," but **fertile, fruitful.** To be happy means ensuring that the wounds of life do not immobilize us, but are preserved to move us towards the light. Tears can **irrigate the earth** so that new life can arise. We have chosen to let the passions of David — *the cherries, the light rain, the sea, the ancient books* — walk with us, discovering that beauty is not only in a dawn, but in the people who sit next to us.
**The Symbolism of the Almond Tree and the Final Gift** Like the **almond tree** — the sentinel of spring — which blooms when it is still cold outside, this evening aims to be a seed of hope. At the end of the concert, we will gift you a **special bookmark** with David's words on "the beauty of small things." A small gift to remind you that each of us can **guard the serenity of others.**
*"Peace is not giving everyone a loaf of bread, but eating it together. On this evening, David is here, and with him every 'David' that each carries in their heart: dear names that sit at the table with us, to nourish together that care and love for which we were created."*
