Rita Marcotulli Ensemble

A captivating dialogue between generations suspended over the sea: On Friday, 7 August, the grand dame of Italian jazz, Rita Marcotulli, brings her extraordinary project “Under 29 but me” to the Belvedere of Villa Rufolo. The internationally acclaimed pianist and composer shares the stage with five of the most brilliant rising stars of the contemporary Italian jazz scene—all under the age of 29. The evening’s repertoire is a vibrant, deeply emotional crossover that effortlessly blurs musical boundaries: featuring original works by Marcotulli alongside compositions by her highly talented daughter, keyboardist Elettra Minieri, and brought to life by the spellbinding vocals of Iranian-Italian singer Ava Alami. Experience a dynamic, inspiring performance where youthful energy meets the profound mastery of a jazz legend.
