Casalzuigno - Sponsored event - The charm of Fado and world music in Casalzuigno: the duo Karminantes in concert - Free time - Varese News

On Friday 27 June at 6 pm , the evocative setting of San Vittore Vecchio sul Prato in Casalzuigno will host a musical event of great intensity and refinement as part of the MusiCuvia 2025 festival: the concert of the Karminantes duo , made up of Mariachiara Ferraro (voice and violin) and Enrico Salvato (piano).

A musical journey through Fado, Tango and Canzone d'autore, in which emotions, stories and sounds from the popular and Mediterranean soul meet, enriched by the deep and sensitive interpretation of the two artists. The repertoire, rich and engaging, embraces different genres and cultures: from Portuguese Fado to French song of the 60s, passing through Neapolitan song and the rhythms of South America.

A violin graduate, Mariachiara Ferraro has cultivated an intense passion for the voice since she was young. For several years she sang with the Vocal Octet OttavaNota of Varese, a group that has won awards in numerous national and international competitions for choral music. With this ensemble she has performed in a wide range of concerts, helping to raise awareness of the value of Italian ensemble singing abroad.

In addition to instrumental teaching and musical propaedeutics, Ferraro has studied in depth courses related to conscious listening and vocal enhancement, obtaining certification for teaching the Wilfart-Pneumafonia Method , which explores the connection between voice, body and breathing. She was Serge Wilfart's assistant and translator until his death, and today she leads workshops in various Italian cities. She teaches at the Accademia Papillons in Sant'Ambrogio in Varese, of which she is a founding member, and continues her study of opera singing with soprano Rita Antoniazzi.

Composer, arranger and pianist, Enrico Salvato is an eclectic and profound musician. He graduated in piano and composition at the conservatories of Piacenza and Milan, and graduated in Musical Aesthetics in Bologna. He then completed his studies with a second level academic diploma in Jazz at the conservatory of Como.

For almost thirty years he has been performing intensely in jazz, pop, musical and gospel, playing in Italy and abroad. Recent projects include collaborations with Giusy Consoli for Porgy and Bess , Maddalena Antona for In a Baroque Mood , and Sherrita Duran in various gospel concerts. With Mariachiara Ferraro he brings to the stage a refined musical journey between fado, tango and singer-songwriter music.

He is the founder and director of the Compagnia della Gru , a pop choir that has won numerous international awards, and the author of music for the theatre, cinema and children's music. His versatility has led him to write musicals for schools and to develop original artistic and educational projects. He currently teaches at the Liceo Musicale “R. Malipiero” in Varese.

The concert of the duo Karminantes is much more than a simple performance: it is an invitation to listen to the emotions of music with awareness and openness, crossing soundscapes that tell the depth of the human soul. An unmissable event for lovers of music and beauty, immersed in one of the most fascinating places in the Varese area.
