Ezio Bosso enjoyed a resounding success at the 83rd Fiera del Levante in Bari. During his audience meeting, however, the great pianist admitted he can no longer play and urged everyone to stop asking him to do so. "If you love me, stop asking me to sit at the piano and play. You have no idea how much this causes me pain, because I can't. I have two fingers that no longer respond well, and I can't give enough to the music. And when I know I can no longer manage an orchestra, I will stop conducting as well," Bosso said, quoted by the Gazzetta del Sud. The pianist, composer, and conductor was welcomed by President Michele Emiliano in the Puglia Region pavilion. The maestro met with the audience, who had flocked in since the morning to secure a seat, to discuss music, art, and talent. "Puglia has had the privilege of offering all its citizens this long-awaited and moving encounter with Maestro Ezio Bosso, with whom we have long collaborated with great empathy," said Emiliano. "We are building a bond that can contribute to the musical education of the people of Puglia, which only a personality with such great charisma as his can accelerate and strengthen. Music is not archaeology; it is life and can help us decipher the complexity of everyday life." "It's important to come together; music is like a hearth around which we can gather," Bosso explained. "Music is a universal language that allows everyone to communicate and build community, regardless of their place of origin. It's important during this time to create opportunities for exchange and engage talent, young people, and open theaters and cultural venues to exchange." Bosso was a guest at the Bari trade fair because he is currently involved in a complex project—conceived, promoted, and funded by the Puglia Region, organized by the Teatro Pubblico Pugliese, in collaboration with the Apulia Film Commission, and the municipal and provincial administrations of Bari, Foggia, and Lecce—aimed at audience education and promoting the local area, scheduled for events in Foggia, Lecce, and Bari. Following the resounding success in Foggia and the audience meeting in Bari, from September 16th to 19th he will be moving to the Teatro Apollo in Lecce for four narrated orchestra rehearsals open to the public from the 16th to the 19th, and the free concert "Ezio Bosso Conducts the Soloists of the Europe Philharmonic Orchestra of the Youth of the Benevento Philharmonic Orchestra," on Thursday, September 19th at 9:00 PM.
