Concerts in theaters, museums and venues of the City intertwined with cinema and meetings with schools Coinciding with the sale of new subscriptions to the three evenings at the Donizetti Theater and tickets for the two dates at the Teatro Sociale, the Donizetti Theater Foundation presents the full program of the 2025 edition of Bergamo Jazz, a festival organized with the support of the City of Bergamo, MIC-Ministry of Culture, and private sponsors and that for four days, March 20-23, will spread the thousand sounds of jazz throughout the City. Sounds of Joy is the title chosen by Joe Lovano, Artistic Director of Bergamo Jazz since last year, to testify to the great variety and vitality of sounds, rhythms and colors that mark a music that represents one of the cornerstones of contemporary artistic expressiveness. "Sounds of Joy means the celebration of a musical community born among people for people. It is the celebration of jazz from its origins until today: the dance of life, love and spirit unites us as one," Joe Lovano specifies, "The idea of jazz improvisation has taken many paths over the years and resulted in a beautiful art form with many directions and influences. This idea has inspired the most innovative and influential musicians in the music world on a global scale.The multigenerational and multicultural sounds that animate the joy of hearing music will come to us through the passion and expressiveness of all the artists we have invited for the 46th edition of the Bergamo jazz festival." Keeping faith with its own nature, Bergamo Jazz 2025 will also be a Festival with an international scope, a widespread Festival: in addition to the concerts at the Donizetti and in the theater in Città Alta, already announced in recent months, significant events hosted in small theaters, in museums, and in venues transformed for the occasion into cozy jazz clubs are in fact planned. Nourished will be the representation of Italian musicians, including numerous new talents, and considerable will be the space for jazz conjugated to women, with the presence of established singers and instrumentalists. The next edition of Bergamo Jazz therefore promises to be very rich both in content and in the number of its protagonists: more than 80. And a relevant space will also have interweaving with other arts, especially cinema, and popular meetings aimed at the youngest.   Jazz at Donizetti On Friday, March 21, the first of three subscription evenings at the Donizetti Theater, beginning at 8:30 p.m., beloved by Bergamo audiences and those from all over Italy and beyond, will be opened by the duo formed by double bass ace Dave Holland and Lionel Loueke, one of the most innovative guitarists to appear on the jazz scene in recent decades. A thick artistic pair that will serve as "openers" to the Wayne Shorter Legacy, namely pianist Danilo Pérez, double bassist John Patitucci, drummer Brian Blade and, in the role of special guests, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, musicians who certainly do not need much
