Masterclass: Bel Canto Vocal Technique & Italian Art Songs with Maya Sypert
Siamo mare - We are sea, Presented by the Friends of Italy Society of Hawaii
Mezzo-soprano Maya Sypert, Soprano Martina Bingham, and pianist Jonathan Korth present a musical prelude featuring Italian songs and arias in a short program inspired by the stunning photography of Siamo Mare. Marine biologist Simone Franceschini and photographer Laura La Monaca from Italy will take us on a journey through the beautiful images of Italy’s seas and coastlines.
The Siamo Mare photography exhibition accompanies the Italian Navy training ship Amerigo Vespucci in a two-year world tour, visiting over thirty ports and promoting initiatives related to marine studies, education, and scientific dissemination about the seas and oceans. This journey symbolizes Italy’s deep connection with the sea and the Italian government’s commitment to marine cooperation and research.
