This year the festival was entitled "The art of Determination" and, drawing on the most recent bout politicians, criticised with  unprecedented courage policy oppressive that the country had to suffer in recent years.

 The passion and determination that have moved in recent days all the artists involved, were extraordinary and their great talent combined with a strong willingness to work together have created for the opening show a cultural event of enormous resonance even to political level. An audience of 8,000 people have followed with great involvement performances of choirs, soloists and singers voices whith instrumental interventions, dance and acrobatic performances, which led pace with increasingly pressing a fantastic spectacle and extraordinary complaint policy. For us to have been invited to work with  was a true honor as well as cause for deep reflection: like other international guests have been able to work alongside young professionist and local artists who, while aware of the danger they were running openly expressing their opinion, have invested all their energies into a spectacle with whom you can share with the audience the deep confidence in the potential for a ransom of art.

We then performed with a small instrumental group in the Opera Gala and then, under the aegis of the Italian Embassy in Harare in two chamber music concerts in which we performed works by Beethoven, Schubert, Dohnanyi and Mozart in front of a big and ever more varied audience; the found interest for classical chamber music, within in an event so rich and heterogeneous, was for us a source of deep joy and satisfaction.

Our deepest gratitude for this experience goes first to Maestro Manuel Bagorro for having invited, at the Italian Embassy for the support and all the staff dell'HIFA for impeccable organisation and for making unforgettable the day spent in Zimbabwe.
