NEWS**** IMPORTANT****

Making and organising cultural performances while for more than a week the war has been almost at our doorstep, with thousands of people suffering and others having to take up arms instead of musical instruments is not at all easy! One loses the will to go on, one wonders why?

As the founder and artistic director of the festival, I have decided to carry on without looking away, which is why a percentage of the festival's income will go to humanitarian aid in Ukraine. I would love to donate 100% but unfortunately there are supplies and professionals to honour and financial commitments made well before the outbreak of this absurd war that we hope will end soon!

We at the Belgian Italian Jazz Festival believe that organising cultural events is important, especially at times like these, and we cannot and will not ignore helping those in need.

Thanks to those who support the festival, we will publish the amount that will be allocated to aid in Ukraine at the end of the festival.

SYNOLON DUO - Di Franco (guitar) - Negro (piano)

FR - À une époque où les langages musicaux se brouillent, Gabriele et Francesco ont décidé de créer un projet où ils pourraient combiner les mondes qu'ils aiment. Des sons acoustiques qui se mêlent à des sons électroniques et modernes ; des accompagnements jazz/folk qui mènent à des moments de pure improvisation. C'est SYNOLON. Tous deux compositeurs et instrumentistes, ils ont réussi à représenter leurs différentes âmes dans SYNOLON.

ITA - In un momento in cui i linguaggi della musica si confondono, Gabriele e Francesco hanno deciso di creare un progetto dove potessero unire i mondi che loro amano. Sonorità acustiche che si confondono con suoni elettronici e moderni; accompagnamenti jazz/folk che sfociano in momenti di improvvisazione pura. Questo è SYNOLON. Entrambi compositori e strumentisti, in SYNOLON sono riusciti a rappresentare le loro diverse anime.

NICOLA ANDRIOLI - “Dialogando con i classici” - piano solo

FR - Grâce à l'improvisation, l'artiste explore l'inconnu. Le projet découle du désir de retrouver un contact profond avec la matière musicale et sonore, loin des barrières stylistiques. Un voyage dans la mémoire des mélodies anciennes, avec un élan spontané vers une musique en devenir. Le piano comme un narrateur sans espace et sans temps. Le répertoire de "Dialogando con i classici" proposera des improvisations sur des thèmes classiques pour piano tirés de Chopin, Ravel, Bach.
