Even the international performing arts group Gen Rosso had to reinvent its days after having to stay locked indoors.  <img alt=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-225149 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Una-storia-che-cambia-5-001-538x340.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"304\" height=\"192\" \/>\u201cThis lockdown has given each of us the chance to go even deeper into those messages that we have been singing for more than 50 years,\u201d says production manager Massimiliano Zanoni. \u201cWe\u2019re used to traveling the world, meeting people and bringing music to stages on five continents, but we found ourselves locked inside the four walls of our house. Instead of cities, seas and mountains, we now had a computer and few windows to look out of. And instead of the thousands of people we met on each tour, we now had three, four people living with us. All 25 of us could not work, create and play together as we had done for 53 years.  And so, after a first series of live streams called \u201cGen Rosso a casa tua,\u201d in which they joined people virtually in their home, they thought they would get back to their roots with some historical live shows. The \u201cDiscovering Gen Rosso\u201d project started to bring people back into the band\u2019s home.  <img alt=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-225148 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Una-storia-che-cambia-3-001-519x340.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"200\" \/>\u201cMany people don&#8217;t know that we don&#8217;t just do concerts,\u201d Zanoni says, \u201cbut projects with schools too. There\u2019s also the \u201cVillage,\u201d which are weeks of living together with young artists to give them the experience of unity as they create artistically.  \u201cSo just as when you invite someone to your house for the first time and, as a sign of welcome, show them around the house, Discovering Gen Rosso is a way to show some pages of our album of memories. This includes the musical <em>Una Storia che Cambia<\/em> or <em>Streetlight,<\/em> and helping them participate in our current projects, like the Village and <em>Forti Senza Violenza<\/em>, as well as revealing some small ideas for the future.\u201d  Discovering Gen Rosso is a new step towards that evolution that has allowed the international group to be builders of unity all over the world, over so many years of history.  Here what\u2019s next on the schedule, from the band\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UChUhEUX-MLdgsHRj93VzFWQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> YouTube<\/a> page:  On 16 July, there will be live streaming about the Village (artistic performance courses with Gen Rosso).  On 28 July, they will launch their new single, \u201cShock of the World.\u201d (It\u2019s actually much more than a single, since there\u2019s a whole new album in the pipeline that will be unveiled soon.)  <strong>Finally, on 2 August the live stream series will conclude with their LIFE concert<\/strong>, the latest production by Gen Rosso, live from Loppiano in Italy. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Lorenzo Russo<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Discovering Gen Rosso&#8221;, per andare alle radici della storia del complesso artistico internazionale<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-307426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-categorizzato"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307426\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
