Cosponsored by the Municipality of Bonorva, with the support of the Department of Industry of the Sardinia Region, MusaMadre presents a two-day event in New York on May 31st and June 2nd on the themes of Sardinian cultural arts, sustainable tourism, and community revival.
As a unique international collaboration, the MusaMadre Project will stage an unplugged concert and site-specific performance of “THE SOUND OF SARDINIA” featuring the acclaimed polyphonic Pauliccu Mossa Choir of Bonorva, with American playwright Jeff Biggers, author of “In Sardinia: An Unexpected Journey in Italy.”
The concert will be followed by a brief outdoor performance among the historic public art sculptures of renowned Sardinian-New York artist Costantino Nivola at the Stephen Wise Towers courtyard in New York (90th Street, between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues). The Wise Towers courtyard, furnished in 1964 with urban sculptures by Nivola, gained notoriety in recent years due to a prolonged controversy over removing and repositioning Nivola’s concrete horses.
