For over ten years, Scanzonati has brought audiences on a journey where Italian songwriting meets jazz harmonies, Mediterranean sounds, and improvisation. Founded by vocalist Stefano Marchese and bassist-arranger Andrea Pejrolo, the ensemble has performed in numerous concerts at Berklee — but this evening marks their debut at the prestigious Berklee Performance Center, a milestone moment in their artistic journey.
This special concert, presented as part of the Week of the Italian Language in the World, will feature music from their celebrated repertoire along with new arrangements that highlight the richness of the Italian Songbook.
On this occasion, Scanzonati will be joined by the Berklee World Strings, under the direction of Grammy Award–winning cellist and composer Eugene Friesen, together with many distinguished guest artists. The combination of voices, strings, and diverse musical guests will create an evocative and powerful dialogue between tradition and innovation.
A once-in-a-decade celebration of music, language, and culture, this concert promises to be a big event in Scanzonati’s history and an unforgettable experience for the audience.
WHEN: Tuesday, October 21st @ 8 PM
WHERE: Berklee Performance Center
ADDRESS: 136 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA 02115
