Dear friends,
let us introduce our

On July 24th
Stefano Bollani will open our season with his new band, named "Carioca": he will be on stage with Brasilian and Italian artists to perform his original arrangements of the less know classics of Brasilian music.
On July 25th will perform an artist that doesn't need so much presentations:
Goran Bregovic will come back in Catania after many years with his "musical machine": the "Wedding and funeral band", that help him bringing Balcan music everywhere in the world.
On July 26th will close the season the biggest, the most cosmopolitan and colourfoul band of the programme:
the "Piazza Vittorio Orchestra", an Italian project that put together in an unique mix 11 players coming from many different countries of the world.
The season ticket costs 38,50 euros (33 euros for who has the pass for our last season: "Non Solo Jazz").
The concerts of July 24th (Bollani) and 26th (Piazza Vittorio Orchestra) cost 16,50, while Bregovic's concert costs 22 euros (agency fee included).
