The La Bella Noeva group is a recently formed group (2021) that has identified its musical preference in Mediterranean music, both ancient and modern, both popular and authorial. The Mare Nostrum, in fact, has always been a crossroads of different civilizations which constitute a heritage of enormous cultural and artistic richness, the result of religious, linguistic and customs contaminations. And it is precisely this wealth of forms, music and repertoire from the various eras that we have drawn on for our musical project. The proposal therefore ranges from popular songs, especially Sicilian and Campanian ones, to songs of cultured or authorial origin, even recent ones. Furthermore, due to the musical interest inherent in ancient music of some members of the group, we also find an anthology of pieces of classical music from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. The group is usually made up of 6 members: Tanino Di Mauro (vocals), Bruna D’Amico (guitars and vocals), Anna Spoto (flute), Alessio Correnti (violin), Anette Wenzel (cello) and Giuseppe Valguarnera (percussion), but he doesn’t disdain collaboration with other musicians and groups. Each of the members has a multi-year career behind them and also performs and collaborates with other classical, ethnic and popular groups.
The concert is in collaboration with the Monastic Beer Festival and takes place in the Audience Hall of the Abbey. It is a concert with binaural listening, i.e. with the aid of a system with wifi headphones, which allows the artists present to concentrate on the quality of the sound. which is underlined in detail by the system.
