Carol Worthey presented a concert, the world-premiere performance of "Fanfare for The New Renaissance", on the opening day of the 2007 Florence Biennale International Contemporary Art Exhibit at the historic Fortezza da Basso in Florence, Italy. The work was performed by the ten-piece Brass Dimension Ensemble under the direction of renowned conductor and internationally known horn virtuoso Luca Benucci.

Carol addressed a distinguished audience of international artists, dignitaries and media encouraging the Biennale artists to join Artists for Human Rights to spread the word about our thirty human rights as codifed in the United Nations' International Declaration of Human Rights. Carol received a strong positive audience reaction when she asked the artists "Wouldn't you like to see a 'New Renaissance' happen here on Earth?"

Carol wrote and dedicated "Fanfare for The New Renaissance" especially in honor of the Biennale and the City of Firenze (Florence). In a spontaneous and unprecedented gesture, the musicians insisted on performing the Fanfare a second time to a standing ovation. The performance was filmed for broadcast on local and national Italian television.

Biennale artist and BBC photographer Danish Saroee took these excellent photographs of Carol and Luca Benucci and they are used with his permission.
