The Christmas Concert at the Caniglia Theater will also be an opportunity to respond to the appeal of the UN representative in Nicaragua, Nazario Esposito (native of Sulmona), in order to support the musical culture dissemination program promoted by the local government.

In Italy a collaboration was already active with some cities: Rome, Municipalities of Modena and Tuscany and Institutions such as the Puccini Festival. But after Nazario Esposito’s appeal, Abruzzo got underway and the first response for Christmas arrived from Sulmona immediately: Camerata Musicale and Scuola Popolare di Musica promoted a fundraiser at the end of the Gospel concert on 26 December. The proceeds will go towards the purchase of musical instruments for young Nicaraguans. The evening will be attended by authorities, institutional representatives and local associations, entrepreneurs. Her presence has already been confirmed by the Ambassador of Nicaragua in Italy, Monica Robelo, who said she was available to meet the representatives of the regional institutions. Meanwhile, the anticipation for the concert of Vincent Bohanan, a talented New York artist, who boasts collaborations with the best Gospel artists of the American scene so as to build, over a decade, a musical personality as polychrome as it is unmistakable, developing his credentials in a long list of successes.
