Sounds of Italy is a musical festival celebrating Italian music excellence in the Greater Boston area. The inventive and contemporary vision of young Italian talents living in the United States blends with the rhythmic and harmonic roots of the Bel Paese, with a clear American jazz influence — a mix that generates a new way of making

music. A concept developed by Pescara-native singer and composer Stefano Marchese, Sounds of Italy was made possible with the collaboration and support of big names on the international music scene such as Marco Pignataro, Andrea Pejrolo, and Tino D’Agostino, as well as the Consul General of Italy in Boston, and Bostoniano founder Nicola Orichuia. Since its first edition, more than 200 artists have participated to the past 3 editions, including international artists such as Chiara Civello, Riccardo Del Fra and George Garzone. The audience members will be offered a taste of the elective affinities of the Mediterranean spirit mixed in with the innovative outlook of jazz.
