The state of the art of Tex-Mex music in the last three decades: this is Calexico, the duo formed by Joey Burns and John Convertino, who in the mid-nineties, already much more than just the rhythm section of Giant Sand, embarked on an instrumental rock adventure that was to reshape the mental physiognomy of Arizona, infecting listeners and encouraging disciples worldwide.
Don Antonio Gramentieri, the most international of the contemporary musicians from Romagna, has drunk from the fountain of their sonic wisdom, a place of imagination where languid melodies of eternal dusk unfold over boundless landscapes, hand in hand with a guitar that lulls and cradles, speaking a language that needs no codes.

Of all the experimental jazz singers in Italy today, John De Leo is one of the most interesting: with his malleable voice, his unclassifiable style and his taste for musical adventure, he has created the Jazzabilly Quartet, a project he has had in mind for years, in which rock ’n’ roll and jazz are mixed in a bewildering and entertaining way. Presley and Coltrane, the Stray Cats and jazz standards are juxtaposed and transformed by De Leo with unbridled gusto as he explores possible connections between seemingly incompatible repertoires, always in a playful spirit in which voice and instruments perform bewildering somersaults and jump between styles with consistency and curiosity. Regularly supported by his no less brilliant trio, De Leo is joined on this occasion by two truly exceptional guests: Rita Marcotulli, an incomparable improviser whose sound is unique and inspired, and and the imaginative, trustworthy yet unpredictable trombonist Gianluca Petrella.

Pupi Avati’s cinema is rooted in familiar places, 20th-century moods, genuine emotions, unspoken feelings, castrating shyness and surprising horrors. It balances the reassuring with the unexpected, always giving music an important role to play. Perhaps because jazz was the first muse of the Bolognese maestro, whose filmography includes titles such as Jazz Band, Dancing Paradise and Bix, testimony to a passion that led him to cross paths with the extraordinary talent of Lucio Dalla. But Avati’s career has also been marked by long-standing collaborations with musicians and composers such as Henghel Gualdi, Amedeo Tommasi and Riz Ortolani, other protagonists of crucial periods in Italian music.

Sensitive and sensual women, all strong and vital, often hopelessly committed to self-sacrifice: a female kaleidoscope emerges from the catalogue of Giacomo Puccini’s operas. In each title, the personality of a different heroine unfolds as she meets the fate that the Maestro and his librettists have devised for her. These captivating stories now come to life through the narration of a talented actress, Laura Morante: Tosca, charming, haughty and jealous, ready to take extreme measures against the man who tried to violate her dignity; the mysterious Turandot, a prisoner of her own emotions, denying herself the joys of love; Manon, torn between conflicting feelings, from the most contagious joy to obscure vulnerability; and finally the fragile Butterfly, the victim of an unrealistic dream. Their characters and personalities are, of course, enhanced by Puccini’s music.

Impetuous, electric and intensely romantic, FASK combine the energy and distortion of rock with the most poetic sentimentality. They tell of everyday life, of horizons that reach far beyond the walls of their “childhood bedroom” to embrace the beauty of their hometown, Perugia. Relying uniquely on the support of their fans, FASK have conquered the general public, from concerts in small provincial clubs to sold-out tours in large arenas. Now, for the first time, their ballads – collected in a long series of albums, the latest of which, È già domani, was followed by a single featuring Ligabue, Il tempo è una bugia – are presented in sumptuous arrangements by the Corelli Orchestra, conducted by an experienced maestro such as Carmelo Patti.

Not only is Laurie Anderson one of the least easily pigeonholed musicians of all time, but, as an artist, she pushes the boundaries of all the expressive media she tackles, revealing their unfathomable potential and implementing new solutions and combinations. From sound poetry to video-scenic experimentation, from Fluxus performances to hit parades (O Superman was the least predictable hit of the 1980s), for this new adventure Laurie Anderson will play material old and new strarting from her debut albumBig Science (1982), a successful minimalist synthesis of Steve Reich and Robert Ashley. Its clever combination of avant-garde theatre and pop music soon became a milestone in a dazzling musical experience, concocted with a group of great veterans of New York’s downtown scene.
special guests Niccolò Fabi, Giovanni Sollima and others
Talking about raves and classical music sounds like a contradiction in terms, but when it comes to the eclectic conductor and multi-instrumentalist Enrico Melozzi, anything is possible. At the head of a mega-group made up of his own Orchestra Notturna Clandestina (a symphonic group featuring exceptional international soloists from a variety of musical backgrounds), some classical ensembles selected through a public call, and special guest Niccolò Fabi, whom he recently accompanied in a concert at the Arena di Verona, Melozzi, known to Ravenna Festival audiences as the leader of the 100 Cellos, will be hosting a long “classical rave”, an all-night marathon from dusk to dawn, with the aim of popularising Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, who are perhaps not too far removed from the tastes of the young.
As the title suggests, the concept of “circularity” is the inspiration for a new production by Classica Orchestra Afrobeat, the histrionic chamber ensemble conducted by Marco Zanotti, joined for this debut by the Mutoid Waste Company, a collective born in England in the 1980s but long since settled in Mutonia, near Santarcangelo di Romagna. Thus, with a group that combines the Baroque with the contemporary, and proposing scenarios with a strong visual and sonic impact, they will attempt a representation of our near future, when humanity will finally look upwards to a more dignified and sustainable life. To provoke an in-depth reflection on coexistence in an environment where time and life are not straight lines, but endless, spiralling Circles.
