Govt to develop theme-based parks inspired by Barcelona
Bhopal: Drawing inspiration from Barcelona's artistic and architectural landmarks, CM Mohan Yadav has announced plans to develop theme-based parks, and promote cultural conservation in the state. The announcement came on the final day of his Spain tour, during which he visited Park Guell, the Sagrada Família and the Picasso Museum. The visit began on Friday with Park Guell -- a UNESCO World Heritage site. Yadav admired the park's harmony between nature and architecture, noting iconic elements like the Dragon Staircase, the Hypostyle Hall with 86 columns and the Serpentine Bench decorated with vibrant mosaics. He described the park as a model of urban beautification, green development and culturally rich public spaces, adding that theme-based artistic parks blending traditional art can similarly be developed in Madhya Pradesh. Yadav also visited the Sagrada Família, one of Europe's most renowned basilicas under construction for over 140 years. He appreciated Gaudí's visionary work that unites spiritual architecture, organic forms and symbolic art. The CM emphasised that such long-term, people-centric and globally inspired design approaches should guide the development of religious sites like Ujjain, Omkareshwar and Chitrakoot.

Italian duos' Ravi Shankar piece at pre-Biennale concert wins huge applause
Kochi, July 19 (UNI) Half a century after maestro Pt. Ravi Shankar composed the iconic L'Aube enchantée (The Enchanted Dawn) as a two-instrument score in Raaga Todi, Tommaso Benciolini and Lorenzo Bernardi, two young musicians from Italy performed the 11-minute composition during a flute-and-guitar concert in the city. Flautist Benciolini blew out softly the morning melody while Bernardi plucked the strings of his guitar to further enhance the pathos of the classical notes tuned by the legendary sitarist in 1976. The piece won special applause at the gathering in Mattancherry, where the visiting duo presented a 75-minute performance, jointly organised by the Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF) and the Italian Cultural Institute, as part of the lead-up to the upcoming Kochi-Muziris Biennale. At the Indian Chamber of Commerce building, Tommaso and Bernardi tuned on an electronic tanpura ahead of playing L'Aube enchantée that evolved out of a meeting Ravi Shankar (1920-2012) had with French flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal and his compatriot Alexandre Lagoya (guitarist) in the mid-1970s. 'Of late, nine months ago, as we knew of this India trip coming, Lorenzo and I did some research, wanting to present an item for the audiences in this country,' said 34-year-old Tommaso, adding that they have been playing the piece in all venues of late. The duo's Kerala programme, titled 'Echoes of Italy' came after their concerts in Delhi, Lucknow and Dimapur in Nagaland. L'Aube enchantée begins with a brief alaap sketching the scale of the poignant Todi, largely developed by Mian Tansen who sang in the court of Mughal emperor Akbar in the 16th century. As Benciolini and Bernardi rolled out the piece, which was a part of the trans-continental 'East Meets West' album conceived by Ravi Shankar, the audience on Friday evening listened in rapt attention, only to explode in loud cheers at the end of the performance. The pair next contrasted the dawn raga with 'Nightfall', a contemporary composition known for its simplicity. Tuned in a minor scale that partly corresponds with the Indian classical raga Keeravani, the piece known for its minimalist brilliance is composed by Italian Roberto Di Marino, now 69. This came after a three-movement sonatina composed by New York-based Marco Beltrami known for his association with Hollywood and TV scores in America. 'This carries a lot of inner dialogue,' said Bernardi. The concert began with an Italian overture that used to typically open the operas during the Enlightenment period. The longest among the pieces the duo performed was a 22-minute centrepiece by 20th-century Argentine Tango composer Astor Piazolla of Italian descent. The sixth edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, titled 'For the Time Being', will be a 110-day show opening on December 12. Curated by artist Nikhil Chopra with HH Art Spaces, an artist-led organisation based out of Goa, the biennale will conclude on March 31, 2026. UNI DS GNK
