Belgian Italian Jazz Festival

PASSAGGI

Memory • Transformation • Transmission

The sixth edition of the Belgian Italian Jazz Festival explores jazz as a living heritage, constantly evolving through encounters, creativity and improvisation.

PASSAGGI celebrates the connections between past and present, tradition and innovation, and generations of musicians. Three interconnected themes shape this journey: Memory, Transformation and Transmission.

MEMORY – Through Before We Were, Federico Milone brings the ancestral sounds of Southern Italy into dialogue with contemporary jazz, exploring cultural roots and musical identity.

TRANSFORMATION – With Tuning the Life, Lorenzo Iorio explores the evolution of jazz through original compositions, improvisation and creative interaction, where tradition becomes a source of innovation.

TRANSMISSION – Students from the Athénée Royal de Ganshoren explore collective musical creation through Soundpainting, transforming listening, collaboration and improvisation into a shared artistic experience.

PASSAGGI celebrates the journey of music across generations: from memory to transformation, from transformation to transmission.
