THE  CONCERTINO

It was born in 1897 (when Ermete Stella was the director of the CONCERTO MUSICALE) and it was composed of a small group of bandsmen who used to play cheerful music during the New Year's Day night to wish  all the best to the people.Their activity  included also the organization of several dance parties in the "Teatro Comunale del Leone" in Cannara, and performances during the shows of  the company of amateur actors.
