Connie Di Perna and Jessica Commisso
 | Connie Di Perna started as a Community Broadcaster presenting her program in 2002. Connie says, "My first love and passion is music, searching for new music and preparing for the radio programs is now part of my everyday life". |
The opening song to the program "Amici Miei" is from the album Nick Pepe presents "La Fisarmonica" featuring vocalist Roy Multari and was chosen with a lot of thought.
"I was touched by the words, its about friends always ready to lend a hand in time of need, and how wonderful it is to have friends. Its how I feel about my listeners who have over the years become my friends." Thanks to Nick and Roy and "Amici Miei" the opening music of our progam "Un Ora Con Voi" has become easily recognised by our listeners.
I invite you to tune in to 6EBA-FM 95.3 every Sunday morning at 10am.

Italian exchange students from the Mount Lawley Senior High school were my special guests on the the program Un Ora Con Voi on Monday 17th of August that went to air at 2.30pm... Five beautiful young ladies from various regions of Italy discussing their views and the differences between cultures and countries. One of the main differences that became evident through the discussion was the freedom that young people experience here in our community.. the ability to express themselves without fear of reprisal.
We talked about the different school systems in our two countries and how they found Australian schools to be far better resourced giving students every opportunity to enhance their abililty in both study and social interaction with the entire school community.
During the program we delved into our two cultures and how they differed, the open minded ability to surge forward as a community and not as individual cultures, to accept who they are and what they are, without race or creed.
I think that Amanda, Libera, Elisabetta, Noel and Federica will be taking home with them an experience that has changed their outlook on life.
Elle who was with the girls, had a different experience to share - that of her life in Italy as an exchange student there, the culture, the food, the fun and the excitement of it all was just too much to absorb in such a short time, leaving her with an overwhelming desire to return.
I sincerely thank all the girls and their teacher Joe Millimaci for their cooperation and willingness to make Un Ora Con Voi such an interesting and informative program... sharing their points of view and their music with the listeners.

CRONACA DI UNA MESSA IN ONDA: LIVE!!!
È lunedì 17 Agosto e per l’allegra combriccola formata da Amanda, Elisabetta, me: Federica, Libera e Noel, con l’aggiunte di Ellie, Isabella e il prof. Millimaci inizia una nuova avventura. Alle 12.30 l’appuntamento è alla ˝campana˝ della Mount Lawley SHS per prendere l’autobus per il 386, Fitzgerald Street, North Perth: 6EBA Radio Station.
Dopo qualche minuto di trepidante attesa, dietro la proposta del professor Millimaci decidiamo di prendere un australianissimo long black coffee al bar, ma appena varcata la soglia della porta ecco in lontananza un puntino rosso carico di buste e borse che avvicinandosi grida:”Joe!!” (il prof.). Ecco Connie!! Finalmente la conosciamo. Si rientra nella stazione radio e, incredibile ma vero, la simpaticissima Connie identifica ognuna di noi senza mai averci conosciute. Woow . Dopo aver distribuito a noi ragazze un CD contenente le canzoni da noi scelte , col tocco di grazia finale della canzone “La vita è bella”, cantata dalla stessa (pensiero davvero gentile – grazie mille), Connie inizia una breve visita guidata dello studio con le mille attrezzature e I mille pulsanti, e gli immancabili microfoni con le cuffie! Sembra proprio di stare in un film. Il mini-tour finisce nello studio più spazioso dove sarebbe andato in onda il programma “Un’ora con voi”. L’orologio bene in vista ci inform ache sono passate le due e che in meno di mezzora le nostre voci sarebbero state ascoltate in tutta Perth, in tutta l’ Australia e, perchè no, in tutto il mondo, persino in Italia!!
Con la sua risata contagiosa Connie ci fa subito sentire a nostro agio…I minuti passano veloci…un respiro profondo…inizia la sigla…e poi 3,2,1: SIAMO IN ONDA!
La prima a parlare è Libera che piccolo piccolo prende il coraggio in mano e rompe il ghiaccio per tutte noi, dopo la sua voce ascoltiamo “Parlami d’amore” dei Negroamaro…e sulla falsariga di ciò che e accaduto a Libera si succedono le alter mini-interviste: Elisabetta con “A te” di Jovanotti, Noel con “Brava” di Vasco Rossi, Amanda seguita da “E fuori è buio” di Tiziano Ferro, Ellie e il signor Millimaci con “Siciliano” di Lucio Dalla ed infine me, Federica, con “Libero” di Fabrizio Moro.
E così tra domande e risposte, lacrime e sorrisi, riassumiamo e tiriamo un po’ le somme di questa nostra esperienza di studentesse di scambio in Australia.
Il tempo corre veloce e le tre e mezza sono già arrivate e con un po’ di commozione sentiamo scorrere in sottofondola magnifica voce di Connie che intonando “Life is beautiful” dice addio al suo programma del lunedì. È stato un onore per noi essere con te in questo giorno così speciale, grazie Connie!!!!!

Life is about connecting with people. A chance encounter and then a follow up conversation with Connie Di Perna led to one of the most fulfilling experiences in my teaching career; the opportunity to have the Mount Lawley Senior High School Italian exchange students and some of the hosts participate in the last program of Un' Ora Con Voi on Monday 17th August.
From the moment I mentioned the radio excursion, the students were excited and overwhelmed and there was some trepidation involved "Prof. io mi vergogno". Since one of the messages I try to pass on to my students is face your fears, this seemed like a great chance to put the theory into practice.
From the moment the students met Connie, our presenter, in the studio foyer, they were put at ease and amazed at her memory and preparation. Connie knew each student from their short biography on the school blog.
We were given a tour of the station, an explanation of how everything works and the process for creating a successful show. During the show Connie spoke with each student and was able to connect to such a degree that the depth of emotion was quite extraordinary. The students were honoured that they were part of Connie's final Monday show and congratulated her and wished her every success for the future. The magical component of this experience was the connection with music and how certain songs contain magical memories for people. Connie's research and willingness to allow the girls to select their special songs created an atmosphere of personal reflection on how important friends and family truly are and brought together families in Italy and Perth that have been linked by the exchange experience. I thank Connie and 6EBA for this unique experience which will stay with the people involved for a lifetime. Evviva la musica, evviva la vita !
