La banda, un quaderno rosso e l’attesa

Un quaderno rosso di solfeggio, i ricordi di una banda di paese e un sogno che arriva fino a Bruxelles. “La banda, un quaderno rosso e l’attesa” racconta la nascita della Belgian Italian Marching Jazz Band attraverso musica, amicizia e comunità.

La scatola non basta

Programmare cultura non significa necessariamente generarla. Un’istituzione può avere un calendario eccellente e restare una splendida scatola. La vera sfida è trasformarla in un laboratorio capace di dare fiducia agli artisti, creare connessioni e rendere possibile ciò che ancora non esiste.

Jazzisti: sul palco ci ascoltiamo. Fuori, ci ignoriamo?

Sul palco ci ascoltiamo, ma fuori spesso ci ignoriamo. Perché è così difficile costruire una comunità tra musicisti jazz? Partendo dalla mia esperienza, rifletto sulle contraddizioni di una professione segnata dalla precarietà e sulla necessità di ripensare il rapporto tra artisti, associazioni e istituzioni.
