The concert will initially focus on the music of Lèo Delibes from the French Romantic period with his Messe brève, arranged for two-part female choir with organ accompaniment. The women's choir then presents an alternation of traditional American melodies and works of contemporary choral music by John Rutter, one of the most important living composers of choral and church music, who is characterised by his extraordinary melodic ingenuity and combines influences from a wide variety of eras and cultures. From the feather-light compositions of Eric Whitacre and Daniel Elders to the eponymous Flight by the American musical composer Craig Carnelia and the monumental film music of Ennio Morricone, the poignant beauty of contemporary choral literature unfolds.

The LanAntiqua Festival, organised by the LanAntiqua Association, aims to give "early music", which is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, its deserved place in the cultural life of Lana. This music, which is not limited to any epoch, covers the periods from the Middle Ages to Romanticism.
The festival's highest maxim is: original sound, i.e. the performance of the music in an appropriate sound setting on instruments of the period and with the knowledge gained from the historical performance practice handed down in treatises. Thanks to imposing venues such as the church Maria Himmelfahrt in Niederlana with its impressive altar by Hans Schnatterpeck and its special acoustics, top-class concert enjoyment is pre-programmed.
Vocal and instrumental works as well as solo and chamber music contributions will be performed. The spectrum ranges from baroque music to classical and romantic music to compositions of our time.
"Testa d'argilla" is an “open work,” shaped by chance and time, which mold its form and meaning.
The sculpture, made from raw clay, reflects the human condition, its identity, and its relationship with the external environment. The sun, wind, and rain will gradually wear away the work, returning it to the earth. In doing so, it will not only stimulate reflection on human existence in nature, but also raise the question of the necessity and permanence of monuments in public spaces.
During LanaLive, the artist from Mantua, Roberta Busato, will erect her Testa d'argilla in the garden of the nursing home and then allow it to naturally decompose.

Both blondes, both actresses, both curly-haired when not ironing their hair, both mothers of a daughter, both grew up with male siblings: Bottiglieri and Folli are two artists who created the project Le Mostre with which they began to probe, in an ironic and cutting manner, the differences in education, expectations, and demands between women and men. Now, from the highly-followed Instagram page that collects short satirical videos, Bottiglieri and Folli have moved on to theatre.
‘You and your brother are the same! we've often heard each other say. But is that really the case?’ the authors ask. 'There are so many differences in terms of education, expectations, demands. Not only us, but also our siblings'. Like sisters is an ironic and moving show that investigates the attitudes and burdens we carry around with us. No one excluded. Men and women. Weights that do nothing but generate monsters and, of course... Exhibitions.

With her performance Glacier Elegy, Jaanika Peerna (Tallinn/New York) confronts the climate crisis, specifically the melting of glaciers. The artist uses ice as a totemic representation of strength, beauty, and ecological fragility.
As an artist in residence, Peerna is hosted at Villa Arnica, where she explores the garden and its essential foundation: the public good of water. Her work includes drawing, performance, and installation, all stemming from the rhythms and movements of the body.
Peerna lives between Tallinn and New York, and her works have been exhibited in internationally renowned galleries and museums, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington, D.C.), the Zuccaire Gallery (Stony Brook University, NY), Real Art Ways (Hartford, CT), and the Espronceda Center for Art and Culture (Barcelona, Spain).
