Jordan Daily – Italian pianist Ingrid Carbone performed Yesterday evening, a lecture-recital titled “A musical journey through the Mediterranean” at the Al-Hussein Cultural Center. The event was sponsored by the Italian Embassy in Amman in cooperation with the National Music Conservatory.
“Music is a key part of Italian culture and we are very glad of having the opportunity of hosting such a talented Italian musician here in Amman” said Italian Ambassador Luciano Pezzotti, addressing the vast audience present at the music hall, a further testimony to the strong interest that Italian cultural activities raise in Jordan.
In a statement sent to the Jordan Daily , the programme included piano music by Italian composer Ruggiero Leoncavallo and German composer Franz Listz.
