Riccardo Nova

Rudra Mantra, Kunti Mantra and Combat

From the famous epic and sacred book Mahabharata. A profound reflection on Hinduism as the basis from which the poem moves to offer a unique perspective on human existence and its myriad contradictory facets.

Composer Riccardo Nova reinterprets the Indian epic, bringing mantras, ancestral rhythms and contemporary sounds to the stage with effectiveness and balance. The work ‘Mahābhārata - Mantras, Fights and Threnody’ earned Riccardo Nova a nomination as a finalist for one of Europe's highest awards for composition, the ‘Prix Prince du Monaco’.

in cooperation with Yoga Meeting Merano

Gabriele Mirabassi and Simone Zanchini in concert:

Top meeting between two great virtuosi of their instrument, as well as protagonists of the international music scene. The musical transversality that distinguishes both of them allows them to express themselves with ease in both the world of jazz and classical music. In this duo, the sensuality of South American rhythms and the pulsating depth of old swing are mixed with the sonorities of a modern, contemporary jazz that is expressed in the compositional style of both
 

Masimba Hwati - Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński 
Storming Breath. Soundings to Asue* (2025)

Masimba Hwati is an artist born in Mhondoro (Zimbabwe) who experiments with sound, sculpture, video and performance. With ‘found objects’ assembled on site, Hwati creates performable sculptures like wind instruments to which new life is breathed into with the breath of the musicians who manipulate them.

Masimba Hwati's performance is in combination with Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński's exhibition Aerolectics 

 in collaboration with Merano Arte

Melika Ngombe Kolongo aka Nkisi is a London-based experimental musician and artist with a Kongo family history. As part of the Merano Arte Aerolectics exhibition, Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński invites Nkisi for a sound performance that resonates with elements of the exhibition. The name Nkisi refers to the fetishes widespread in much of central Africa, bearers of spiritual and non-material power. Her sound performances weave together experimentation with ancient musical techniques, liveness and the active involvement of the audience, who in dance, with their bodies, are invited to incorporate sound traditions that imply cultural resistance to the power structures of the global present.
