From January 2018, the 20th edition of Jazz al Piccolo with the pupils of the Civica Jazz Band and an international cast conducted by Enrico Intra.
Teatro Strehler
The 20th edition of Orchestra Senza Confini, the review connected to the educational and productive work of the Civica Jazz Band, the workshop run by Enrico Intra as part of the Civici Corsi di Jazz in Milan, will examine the female universe, looking at connections between cultured European music and jazz, and will take on a historical re-examination of jazz songs from between the 1930s and the 1950s.
The review begins in January with a concert entitled La canzone jazzata da Natalino Otto a Fred Buscaglione with the mandolin player and singer Freddy Colt, head of the San Kenton study centre in Sanremo.
The second appointment pays tribute to the great musician Luigi Pestalozza, a year on from his death. The concert Tra jazz e musica eurocolta, in collaboration with the Association Musica/Realtà, proposes excerpts from Stravinsky, Casella, Donatori and other composers who wrote “borderline” scores.
In March, the concert Jazz è donna will see performances from various exponents of a range of generations of female Italian jazz, who will be performing their own compositions with the Civica Jazz Band, including two first ladies of European jazz: Rita Marcotulli and Maria Pia De Vito in a concert dedicated to them, which will close the review.
