This weekend daMargherita and Catanzaro Jazz Fest celebrate the Festa della Musica
The daMargherita festival will conclude on the weekend of Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 June, sharing in its program the proposal of the Catanzaro Jazz Fest which celebrates the Festa della Musica. The 25th edition of the music event is part this year of a broader national project, entitled "Transform-actions: at a jazz pace", which promotes the union between jazz music and slow-paced walking.
The Festival will present a double concert at Villa Margherita tonight, Saturday 21 June: at 8:30 pm the Tchaikovsky Jazz Trio, composed of Francesco Cerullo piano (17 years old), Giacomo Cerullo double bass and electric bass (13 years old) and Guido Rovere drums (20 years old), will host the voice of Diletta Carrozzino (22 years old), a very young group that stood out during the “Jam Session at Palazzo Stella”, an initiative born in collaboration with the Conservatory of Nocera Terinese-Catanzaro, which from January 27 to May 3 featured performances by students and teachers of the Conservatory and beyond.
Following, at 9:30 pm, the Lorenzo Iorio Trio, a Calabrian instrumental music project, composed of: Lorenzo Iorio, electric guitar; Alessio Iorio, bass and double bass, Maurizio Mirabelli, drums, and was created with the intention of mainly offering original music with a strong passion for research and experimentation in sound and composition, inspired by the great Bill Frisell, already a guest at the first CJF (1997). The trio’s latest album will be presented, Anatomy of a Dream (Filibusta Records, 2024), recorded live in analog mode at the “At the Place Studio” of Alessandro Guido, a member of Atlantide and historic sound engineer of the Catanzaro Jazz Fest.
This 25th edition also benefits from the collaboration of WeStart, Music Production Center of Eastern Piedmont, for the project Ballad for a Tree, tomorrow, Sunday 22 June at 8:30 pm, an acoustic meditative sound journey where the main element is the tree together with the surrounding nature, with the participation of saxophonist Francesco Caligiuri.
The Festival will be introduced by the itinerary “The Silk Roads”, curated by tour guide Angela Rubino who today, with departure and arrival at Villa Margherita, from 5 pm to 8 pm, will lead visitors to discover neighborhoods, palaces, and churches of the historic center that bear traces of the ancient art that in antiquity made Catanzaro famous worldwide.
