The main concerts of the “Vittadini Jazz Festival” are arriving: from 20 to 23 June the most awaited music festival in the cultural panorama of the city of Pavia will come to life. The event is organized by the Jazz Department “New Technologies and Musical Languages” of the Franco Vittadini Conservatory of Music in Pavia, with the patronage of the Lombardy Region, the Municipality of Pavia and with the contribution of the Cariplo Foundation. After the evenings with the preview concerts performed at the Caffè Teatro, the Circolo Vogatori Pavia and the Casa Mirabello, the four main concerts will take place in the Cloister of the Franco Vittadini Conservatory on the evenings of 20, 21, 22 and 23 June at 9pm.
The first evening, Thursday 20 June, will feature the Jazz Department of the Narbonne Conservatory and the Franco Vittadini Conservatory of Music of Pavia. The evening includes the creation of a film concert dedicated to Buster Keaton, American actor, director and screenwriter, known as one of the most important masters of the classic silent film period. The artistic project will be created with music by Bruno Reigner thanks to the direction and arrangements of Vincent Boisseau of the Narbonne Conservatory of Music.
On Friday 21 June the two Conservatories will return to the stage of the Vittadini Cloister. The evening will be opened by the students of the Liceo Musicale Adelaide Cairoli of Pavia.
