“ToBe Continued...,” a 24-hour live streamed concert, will be held from 7 a.m. March 24 (Beijing Time) to 7 a.m. March 25 to mark World Tuberculosis Day. Audience members can listen to the live concert on www.stazioneditopolo.it.

    The participating musicians are from many countries, including China, America, Canada, Brazil, Australia, South Africa, Germany, Italy and Britain.

    The only Chinese musician is Zen Lu, who has been based in Shenzhen producing and performing experimental music for more than 10 years. His performance begins at 11 p.m. March 24.

    “ToBe Continued...” is an annual original concert lasting 24 hours on March 24, during which musicians from many parts of the world will be connected to a website that will broadcast their concerts live. During this uninterrupted 24-hour musical marathon, each musician has at their disposal a 30-minute window, thus creating a relay of sounds and rhythms that will range from different streams of the “new music.”

    The event is coordinated by Antonio Della Marina, musician and computer music composer, and by Moreno Miorelli, artistic director of the annual gathering “Stazione di Topolo/Postaja Topolove.” The whole initiative is under the aegis of the Global Health Incubator, the “laboratory” established in July 2009 in Topolo.

    “ToBe Continued...” is also part of the initiatives organized by Stop TB Italia to commemorate World TB Day. The event has the help of Eli Lilly MDR-TB Partnership and Sanofi, a collaboration with UNIKUM — Culture Center of the University of Klagenfurt, that will provide the facilities for the concerts and the patronage of Global TB Program of World Health Organization.(Cao Zhen)
