A season full of swing and energy featuring over 100 concerts through September 7, 2024
This summer, Village Celimontana is making a comeback to the Eternal City with its eighth edition. One of the most beloved jazz and swing events in Rome, the festival will start on June 15, 2024 and run until September 7. Over the next couple of months, the villa will host more than 100 free concerts.
A festival that will see great jazz musicians, swing formations, manouche, rock ‘n roll, and some of the most interesting Italian big bands alternating on stage.
The opening day of the festival, June 15, will be entrusted to the big band of Maestro Gianni Oddi, historic saxophonist of Ennio Morricone, who will be the right mediator to lead us into the 2024 festival. Many evenings dedicated to social issues during the festival and an entire week for great traditional jazz with the Roman Classic Jazz Festival curated by Lino Patruno from August 27 to September 1, a historic festival within the festival to remember Swing music and its greatest interpreters.
Greg Ogni Lunedì, every Monday on the stage of Village Celimontana, the multifaceted artist Claudio Gregori, aka “Greg,” unpredictable and brilliant musician, comedian, and actor. Swing Swing Swing every Tuesday is the historic evening dedicated to Swing dancing, Lindy hop, Charleston, and Tip Tap, and Bevo solo rock’n’roll every Sunday, for those who love 50s Rock’n’roll.
Two mini festivals to note: the Gipsy mini-Festival and Brunch “stories and music”, every Sunday at lunchtime. As in major international festivals, there will also be daytime performances.
On June 21 the Festa della Musica will take place, with more than 10 performances from 3 PM until midnight. We will celebrate this important event as in the rest of the world. The great return of Emanuele Urso the King of swing, who will return to ignite the audience with the energy of Benny Goodman’s music as only he can interpret it.
Other performers include Kisito jazz Band and their Afrojazz, Les Chats Noirs with French chanson in manouche style, Jim Porto and his jazz samba, Nina Perersen and Norwegian jazz, Paul Ricci and Mafalda Minnozzi from Rio de Janeiro, and Jean Sebastien Simonoviez French multi-instrumentalist who travels the world offering his great musical quality. Social evenings with Max Maglione for the house of Peter Pan, Mirko Valeri and the Via Greve and the Buffalo Lovers.
Other great names: Max Paiella, Samantha Iorio, Gege’ Munari, Giorgio Rosciglione, Stefano Reali, and many others to experience a summer of magic and music.
