At the Rome Auditorium concert for the 50th anniversary of the organization. Music to support those who work for human rights in the world: "To say we are here because we believe in this path. I am there" (ANSA)


Music to support those who work for human rights in the world: "to say we are here because we believe in this path. I am there". It is with this proactive spirit, wanting to emphasize "being there, and more and more" alongside those who do their utmost to do so - in this case Doctors Without Borders - that the trumpeter, icon of Italian jazz in the world,

Paolo Fresu will go up on the stage of the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome on December 16 to play in a concert, "Human Nature", on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the humanitarian organization to which the entire proceeds of the evening will go. A concert, "which will not be like others. The message launched is not trivial" - says Fresu himself to ANSA -

it is also the story of a work done for the common good, "where music enriches the words". "I believe - he continues - that music is an extraordinary instrument of denunciation.


    Especially when it comes to human rights. Music is an artistic language that can underline both the things we like and the things we don't like. "Almost an ethical duty, therefore, for Fresu, to be able to make his art available, so as not to turn away and invite others to do the same because everyone, in everyday life, in their own small way can make a contribution. Especially in times of a pandemic, a collective experience that has taught a lot but which "has aggravated and highlighted already existing problems, brought to light the previous too many disparities that exist. There is an economic and social wedge to be resolved among the populations, which is increasingly vast. The pandemic has highlighted all of this. Much of our planet needs to be rewritten. "Among the difficulties linked to the health emergency,Fresu highlights those of his world, that of artists who have not been able to work and perform. Then last summer the recovery. "We were happy to return to our home which is the stage, the place where we meet and where we can creatively play our role, a social and political role in the pure sense of the word". But the strongest, most exhilarating, unforgettable emotion for him was the first concert held indoors, in Milan.stronger emotion, more exciting, unforgettable, for him it was the first concert held indoors, in Milan.stronger emotion, more exciting, unforgettable, for him it was the first concert held indoors, in Milan.

"I have had a lot of applause in my life but that applause in a 100% crowded theater I will never forget. I had almost forgotten that sound, it was such a poignant and strong applause, directed not only at us who had played , but also to the public who shared that music with us "

. And yet - he is keen to underline - during the closures "we were not idle. In our homes we worked, recorded and were in contact with colleagues on the other side of the world. All this, however, is not worth a moment of music in presence where you can breathe the same emotion together ". Here, for the Sardinian artist, "this shows that we want to share intimate feelings and this bodes well" for humanity and the many battles of inequality still to be overcome in the world. In fact, when "man shares emotion with others he has an extraordinary thing inside, a positive vision of the world. Not all of us are blind and deaf". Despite the many rumors of hatred on social media, there are instead small positive things in the private sector: "The world is changing and art contributes with its emotions, its denunciations can change the world ". The concert for MSF is part of this path. Not only that:" There is a necessary art, which enriches society because it creates relationships, a form of beauty, which is quality of life "." We should think - continues Fresu - of a country where art is a primary good, important for the development of society. On the other hand, art is mistreated here, while culture is as fundamental as the economy. "The concert for MSF (" I have known it for some time, I adhered to its appeals and I followed its path and its development ") - anticipates Fresu - "will have a special program, built for music without borders.his denunciations can change the world ".

It will be a 'hybrid' program to tell the geography of MSF, of the countries where it works ".

Together with Paolo Fresu, on stage there will be

Daniele Bonaventura (accordion) and Leila Shirvani (cello);

while Sonia Bergamasco and Neri Marcorè will enrich the evening with readings.

MSF was born in Paris, in December 1971, on the initiative of some doctors and journalists who have pursued the dual vocation of healing and witnessing.

In 1999 he received the Nobel Peace Prize.


    Today, MSF teams provide medical-humanitarian relief in more than 80 countries to populations whose survival is threatened by armed conflict, violence, epidemics, natural disasters or exclusion from health care.
