At Genoa's Open Stage, an innovative urban music circuit, the bansuri flute of Alghero-born maestro Mauro Uselli resounds. Among the various stations made available by the city of Genoa, Uselli brings his original Indian sound, a perfect blend of Eastern musical tradition and personality.

The idea of a widespread open stage, such as in the Galleria Teatro Carlo Felice, the grand Piazza de Ferrari, Piazza del Campo, and other venues in Genoa, is attracting considerable interest and widespread acclaim for blending moments of peace and meditative music amidst the city's hustle and bustle. Even more important is the strong presence of bansuri musicians who traveled to Genoa to meet Uselli, known and appreciated online for his engaging bansuri lessons and tutorials, posted daily on YouTube. This important meeting forges musical and human connections around a new approach to meditative music, in a global climate of tension and chaos. The "open stage" week concluded with an open-air flute masterclass for the Alghero-born musician's followers, right on the old port at sunset. An evocative location that perfectly complements the musical experience.

In August, Mauro Uselli will hold two more concert-lesson sessions, strongly supported by several music and yoga associations, in Cagliari and Lucera, Puglia. "The Open Stage experience in Genoa," said Mauro Uselli, "is a wonderful initiative that, like a laboratory, allows us to experiment with new musical trends, foster new partnerships, and give artists the opportunity to perform and be appreciated by people from all over the world. My bansuri flute music has attracted great interest, and I'm honored to have met emerging artists and followers with whom I'm sure I'll stay in touch."
