Again the Salesian Youth Ministry carries out the “National Salesian Youth Artistic Festival of the Message Song”, better known as the “National Festival of the Message Song”, a dynamic and popular meeting for the promotion and support of moral, human and spiritual values, dedicated to the memory of Monsignor Fabio Rivas and will be held on May 27 in the Manuel Rueda Room of the School of Fine Arts.
Young artists from different parts of Santo Domingo and the interior of the country such as Barahona, La Vega, Santiago, Mao and Jarabacoa, will exhibit their talent in singing, music, theater and dance; thus encouraging collective artistic expression and creation, which starts from unpublished musical compositions that highlight reflective messages, with spiritual values.
Its organizers expressed that the objective of this year is: “To promote environmental awareness through music and the performing arts, to generate responsibility and care for the common home in the artists, participants and spectators of the different Salesian houses in the country.”
In this way, it seeks to make visible the value and beauty that nature provides through admiration and celebration, recognizing the environmental commitment throughout all the actions that collectively help to advance as a society.
Some of the themes that can be taken as a reference for the song and artistic interpretation is love and admiration for nature; environmental awareness and sensitivity; environmental conservation; environmental coexistence; respect and environmental responsibility.
The festival will have the general production of Madeline Abreu and Noesi Producciones, who have a professional team for production of shows, technical direction, artistic direction, coordination and assembly. The presenters will be the communicators Juan Cordero, Jennifer Almánzar and Alex Santiago with styling by Manuel Febrillet.
