Rossano Sportiello Piano Solo
- Tuesday 3 December 2024 at 21:00 - 22:30
**Rossano Sportiello** is considered by international critics to be the best traditional school pianist in existence. Rossano made his debut in the "Milano Jazz Gang", one of the most popular bands in the hot jazz scene, and later made his mark especially in the “Blue Napoli” project, in which the Neapolitan melodic classics were reinterpreted in jazz style. A specialist in stride piano, a particular style based on total independence of the hands, Rossano has also incorporated traces of later great pianists into his sound.
As a result, each of his concerts is an original, highly enjoyable compendium of jazz piano history, filtered through a unique personality.
"Arsa" Camilla Battaglia & Simone Graziano
- Tuesday 10 December 2024 at 21:00 - 22:30
**ARSA** is a space dedicated to the sacred dimension of musical creation, a place where passion and discernment meet and collide, always maintaining a constant balance. Opposing forces, pushing in opposite directions, find space in a repertoire that is varied in terms of time period and genre, and are synthesised by the duo's timbral abilities, which move in electronic as well as purely acoustic territories.
With **Simone Graziano**, piano and synth, and **Camilla Battaglia**, vocals and electronics.
