LE GAITE

Bevagna, June 19-30, 2024

The Mercato delle Gaite is inspired by the ancient division of Bevagna (PG) into four districts called Gaite. The administrative organization of the city in medieval times was based on it. The purpose of the event is to reconstruct, with the greatest historical relevance and wealth of details, the daily life of the inhabitants of the village in the period between 1250 and 1350.

For ten days, at the end of June, Bevagna takes a dip in this remote past: the ancient shops of medieval crafts reopen their doors and resume their activities; the streets are populated with bevanati who in period clothes live the daily life of their ancestors by eating, working, playing just like them. Today as then, the city is divided into four Gaite, but today each rivals the others in an attempt to give a historically faithful interpretation of the role it played in the Middle Ages. The spirit of competition is the basis of the animated event and takes the form of participation in 4 competitions: Competition of Professions, Gastronomic Competition, Market Competition and Archery Competition. With a complex system of points, assigned by scholars and experts in various fields and called to judge the historical relevance of the reconstructions, the winner is declared on the last day of the event and receives the Palio della Vittoria as a gift. The strong spirit of belonging to one’s own Gaita makes the competitions very interesting and stimulates a continuous improvement of the Gaite proposals in the various sectors, with a clear advantage of the general quality of the Festival. The Mercato delle Gaite is now counted among the most important historical events in Umbria and is part of the Regional Association of Historical Events.

Perugia, Perugia 12-21 July 2024

Chi non conosce Umbria Jazz, una delle kermesse Jazz tra le più famose ed importanti d’Italia?

Per circa 10 giorni durante il mese di Luglio, la città di Perugia si dedica ed abbraccia il meglio del jazz (e non solo) italiano ed internazionale, tra l‘Arena Santa Giuliana, il Teatro Pavone, l’Oratorio Santa Cecilia, Piazza IV Novembre ed i giardini Carducci e varie altre location d’eccezione.

Rappresenta da sempre una delle più importanti e rinomate manifestazioni dedicate al jazz in Europa di notevole richiamo internazionale, è un’appuntamento irrinunciabile per gli appassionati della musica.

Il centro storico di Perugia prevede oltre cinquecento artisti, concerti pomeridiani, serali e notturni, l’arena principale, due palchi all’aperto con concerti gratuiti teatri jazz club e jazz lunch e dinner, con proposte musicali che spaziano ormai sull’intero orizzonte musicale per abbracciare i gusti di un pubblico sempre più eterogeneo.

Umbria Jazz 2024: si arricchisce il programma dell’Arena Santa Giuliana

Si arricchisce il cartellone dell’Arena Santa Giuliana per l’edizione 2024 di Umbria Jazz, in programma dal 12 al 21 luglio. L’offerta musica è tale da soddisfare per tutti i gusti.

Ai già annunciati Lenny Kravitz, Raye, Toto, Veronica Swift e Nile Rodgers & CHIC si aggiungono questi nomi:

Richard Galliano – New York Tango Trio Richard Galliano, francese, virtuoso della fisarmonica, amatissimo dal pubblico italiano e di casa a Umbria Jazz. La sua maestria tecnica e la visione “orchestrale” della fisarmonica hanno spostato in avanti quelli che prima di lui si ritenevano i limiti dello strumento, facendone “uno Steinway con le cinghie”.

Vinicio Capossela Vecchi Tasti Camera a sud trentennale concerto per Sergio Piazzoli. Concerto unico in cui verranno eseguiti i tredici brani del disco pubblicato nel 1994. Il concerto è un omaggio a Sergio Piazzoli, grande promoter perugino.  Capossela è un talento multiforme, perfettamente a suo agio nella canzone e anche in scenari diversi come scrittura, poesia, cinema, radio, teatro, direzione artistica di festival.

Potter/Mehldau/Patitucci/Blake, un nuovo quartetto che si accredita come una vera e propria super band e l’ensemble con i principali musicisti delle orchestre di Evans degli anni 70 – 80 riuniti da Pete Levin, tastierista, uno dei membri di quella storica band.

Sonicwonder, la band di Hiromi, un esplosivo quartetto senza confini musicali definiti e autore di una spregiudicata miscela elettrica ed acustica di jazz-rock-funky.

A causa della cancellazione del tour dei Tower of Power il programma dell’Arena del 16 luglio vedrà sul palco, insieme alla confermata Hiromi, Lizz Wright, in precedenza annunciata al teatro Morlacchi. Chi ha acquistato il biglietto per il 16 luglio all’Arena può richiedere il rimborso entro il 30 aprile 2024, altrimenti rimane valido per la nuova line up della serata.

Cha Wa, una band funky diversa dalle altre perché strettamente intrecciata con le antiche tradizioni dei Mardi Gras Indians di New Orleans.

Fatoumata Diawara, una delle personalità più intriganti della giovane scena africana.

Laufey, cantante, songwriter, multistrumentista che porta una ventata di novità nel music business internazionale e il Grammy appena vinto testimonia il grande credito di cui gode.

Roberto Fonseca, uno dei migliori prodotti della gloriosa scuola pianistica cubana.

Chucho Valdés, semplicemente uno dei più influenti artisti cubani di sempre.

Djavan, uno dei principali artefici di quell’incontro tra culture che ha contribuito non poco a spalancare alla musica brasiliana le porte del mercato mondiale della musica e la Pacific Mambo Orchestra, considerata come una delle migliori big band latine del continente americano.

FESTIVAL DEI DUE MONDI | 28 GIUGNO-14 LUGLIO 2024

14Mar

FESTIVAL DEI 2 MONDI 2024

(28 JUNE-14 JULY 2024)

From 28 June to 14 July 2024, the event that hosts the best performing experiences at an international level returns to Spoleto, enhancing theatres, outdoor spaces and unconventional places, which the city offers in a unique concentration in Italy.

Now in its 67th edition, the Festival will transform the city into a real stage that will host opera, music, theater and dance performances, exhibitions, cinematographic events and many guests.

The Spoleto Festival confirms its original character and the prestige of an important international event. A historic meeting place between different cultures, today it offers a consolidated showcase for great and emerging artists and above all it is an unstoppable workshop of original productions.

At the center of the program are two works and two original readings: Ariadne auf Naxos by Strauss, entrusted to the Budapest Festival Orchestra and its director Iván Fischer, and Orfeo ed Euridice by Gluck directed by Damiano Michieletto and the Orchestra Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. The myth guides the reflection of this edition, as a cultural element that forces us to confront questions that are by definition unresolved, as an expression of the complex relationship between individuals and society, of experiences that resonate collectively and in which we recognize ourselves and which are at the basis of Western civilization.

The French director Jeanne Candel is inspired by Baùbo, the midday concerts
they lead us to explore their musical archetypes with artists such as JACK Quartet, La Lira di Orfeo, the musicians of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and the Perugia Chamber Orchestra. Alessandro Baricco presents the world premiere of his “Brief and heretical History of Classical Music” with The curious inheritance of Orpheus.

Daniel Lopatin, known as Oneohtrix Point Never, one of the most influential names in international electronics, will be present at the Festival exclusively in Italy. Lizz Wright’s soothing voice scores
an unmissable event with African-American music. She opens the Jazz Club at the Church of Sant’Agata.

Special guest of the Festival is Isabelle Adjani who gives voice to the texts of giants of French and Italian literature. The attention towards young directors and playwrights brings director Antonio Latella back to work with the students of the Silvio d’Amico National Academy of Dramatic Arts for four new shows. The return of Davide Enia is expected with a portrait of his Palermo.

Dance breaks out with the world star Friedemann Vogel, a new creation by Wayne McGregor, a great production in Piazza Duomo by Yoann Bourgeois, accompanied by another electronic star, the musician Hania Rani, and again with Mehdi Kerkouche, one of most acclaimed talents of the moment, and Dimitri Chamblas with Kim Gordon, bassist of Sonic Youth. A new and powerful immersive experience is signed by the duo Adrien M & Claire B. There are many events for the city: Stefano Mancuso returns for a new lectio magistralis while the dancers of the Il Posto company transform the vertical surfaces of the city’s buildings into a stage. Finally, a musical educational project for primary school children was born.

The work of the Carla Fendi Foundation also continues with an exhibition by the photographer Luis Alberto Rodriguez who reinterprets some precious costumes from the historical archive of the Festival dei Due Mondi and that of Monini with the concerts and the many initiatives of Casa Menotti. At Palazzo Collicola the exhibition of Chiara Camoni, author of the manifesto, and those in collaboration with Mahler & LeWitt Studios.

Guided tour with wine tasting | The Carapace of Arnaldo Pomodoro

12Mar

GUIDED TOUR OF THE CASTELBUONO ESTATE WITH WINE TASTING:

THE CARAPACE OF ARNALDO TOMODORO

Il Carapace was born from the Lunelli family’s dream of seeing a cellar built that was a treasure chest for wine. From the long-standing friendship with Arnaldo Pomodoro and from the previous collaboration – which had led the Master to create “Centenarium”, the sculpture that celebrates the century of history of the Ferrari Cellars – the idea arose to propose to him, whose sculptures stand out in symbolic places around the world, to realize the cellar.

The idea is that of a shape reminiscent of the turtle, a symbol of stability and longevity which, with its carapace, represents the union between earth and sky “.

THE WORK

The result is an absolutely unique work, the first sculpture in the world in which it is possible to live and work, a place where art and nature, sculpture and wine dialogue, emphasizing the exceptional nature of both the container and the content. Entering the “Carapace” means entering a sculpture by Pomodoro, as his artistic alphabet immediately perceives, immediately recognizable in the internal vault. A winery that gives emotions, as happened to its author, Arnaldo Pomodoro. He told it himself: “For the first time in my life I had the thrill of being able to walk, talk and drink inside one of my works”.

The carapace is the first sculpture in the world in which you live and work, it is a treasure trove of great wines, Sagrantino and Rosso di Montefalco, the soul of the truest Umbria.

IN THE CARAPACE OF ARNALDO TOMATO NATURE, WINE AND ART DIALOGUE AMONG THEM

The “Carapace” offers itself to the eye as a large dome covered with copper, engraved with cracks that recall the furrows of the earth that embraces it. A sculptural element in the shape of a red dart that sticks into the ground emphasizes the work in the landscape.

The duration of the visit is approximately one hour; During the guided tour, Arnaldo Pomodoro’s Carapace project, the history of the Lunelli family, the winemaking practices and information on the aging of our wines will be illustrated. Wine tasting will follow.
