Iran Press/ Iran news: Giovanni Guidi, a prominent Italian pianist, wrote in a message to the Iranian people: "I have never seen more cultured, emotional, warmer, and more informed people than the Iranians."
Giovanni Guidi, an Italian pianist who performed the Small Italian Orchestra with his six-member ensemble at the 37th Fajr Music Festival five days ago, released a message for Iranian audiences and art lovers after leaving Iran.
The 37th edition of Fajr International Music Festival was held in Tehran from February 11 to 15.
Fajr Music Festival, Iran’s most prominent Music Festival, is annually held in different sections, wherein many renowned national and international musicians perform in diverse genres.
Guidi wrote on his Instagram page: Now we are leaving Iran. I was there last time in 2016 and I swear I have never met a more cultured, emotional, warm, and informed people than Iranian. I know they are even higher than these definitions.
Since the beginning of the corona pandemic, the musicians held two musical performances for the first time outside of Europe; two pieces of a very original version of contemporary jazz music, composed by Guidi himself, amid a very warm reception by the Iranian public.
The first concert, entitled 'Little Italy', was held at Vahdat Hall on February 14, and presented as a highlight of the 37th Fajr Music Festival.
“Little Italy is a tale, a story of migration in music. It narrates countless stories of those Italians who set out into the unknown in search of fortune, opportunities, or simply dignity. It is the story of young women and men who left everything, risked everything, lost everything or found everything”, were the words used by Giovanni Guidi in commenting on his musical program.
