Magister 2010: Music, maestro!

Music, maestro! MAGISTER 2010, the annual exhibition of the music teachers of the Magnificat Institute was held on Sunday 17th October in the Immaculata Hall of the convent of St. Saviour in Jerusalem. Of all the participants, we will only mention the “debutants”, i.e. the teachers who are starting to teach this year.

They are Jiries Boullata (piano), Katerina Samson (piano) and Yulia Plankhina (voice): if they are as good at teaching as they are performing, the musical future of the children of the Magnificat will be very successful.

The head teacher of the school, Hania Sabbara, welcomed the audience before the concert.

During the evening, Father Armando Pierucci, founder and executive director of the Magnificat also spoke, to thank the friends and supporters who had come especially from Italy, including Giuliano and Flaviana De Minicis, Franco Cascia, Giorgio and Milva Fanesi, Luca Celidoni, Andrea Garbini and Sergio Marcelli: “They do not like being called benefactors or sponsors,“ Father Armando said, “but ‘partners’,” to show their personal involvement in the school’s activity.

This collaboration also extends to building up around the Magnificat an increasingly wide network of friendship, especially in the Marche region of Italy, where they come from, but not only there.

Andrea Garbini, the owner of Garbini Consulting, a company which has as its mission optimizing companies’ resources to make savings, spoke of this friendship on behalf of them all and this virtuous saving is projected on to solidarity, supporting the Magnificat project.
