Siena Jazz Festival – UAE Tour 2024
Italiacamp is pleased to support the Siena Jazz Festival, a collaboration that showcases the organization’s commitment to promoting and enhancing Italian excellence, while also strengthening its role as a cultural bridge between Italy and the Gulf countries.
The Siena Jazz Festival, organized by IEAP Events and promoted by the Italian Ministry of Culture and SIAE as part of the PerChiCrea Program, is the leading cultural institution in the world of Jazz in Italy and Europe. It brings to the United Arab Emirates five emerging artists of Italian contemporary jazz. This exceptional musical event will take place in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, offering an unforgettable experience for jazz enthusiasts, where Italian musical tradition meets innovation.
On Thursday, October 17, 2024, at 6:30 PM, the Zayed Theatre at Sorbonne University in Abu Dhabi will host Camilla Battaglia – EMIT, who will present her concept album RotatoR TeneT, a celebration of time viewed through the lenses of science and philosophy. Following this, there will be a performance by Francesco Fiorenzani – Klondike, a project inspired by the stories of Italo Calvino and Jack London, where each composition develops as a unique narrative episode.
On Friday, 18 October 2024, at 8:00 PM, The Fridge at Alserkal Avenue in Dubai will host three diverse jazz ensembles, showcasing a fusion of contemporary influences and original compositions: the Guglielmo Santimone Trio, offering a post-bop foundation enriched by Brazilian influences and modern reinterpretations of American jazz tradition; the Lorenzo Simoni Quartet, known for blending original compositions with elements of melody, dance, and improvisation; and the Vittorio Gravagna Trio – Rosmarino, combining jazz, rock, minimalism, and Mediterranean music to create a distinctive and contemporary sound.
With this partnership, Italiacamp offers all members and partners of the Dubai Hub for Made in Italy the opportunity to enjoy two evenings dedicated to quality music and Made in Italy.
