Lorenzo Iorio – Tuning the life
FEATURING MASTER’S STUDENTS FROM THE JAZZ DEPARTMENT – CONSERVATOIRE ROYAL DE BRUXELLES
Transformation: Lorenzo Iorio Trio and Tuning the Life – The evolution of musical language. Jazz is constantly evolving. Through improvisation, creativity and interaction, tradition is reinterpreted, opening the way to new sounds and artistic possibilities.
Transformation: Lorenzo Iorio Trio and Tuning the LifeOn Thursday 3 December, the Lorenzo Iorio Trio will present Tuning the Life, the recording project of guitarist and composer Lorenzo Iorio. On stage, Lorenzo Iorio on guitar is joined by Alessio Iorio on double bass and electric bass, and Maurizio Mirabelli on drums. Through original compositions, the trio explores a musical language firmly rooted in jazz tradition while embracing the expressive possibilities of contemporary music.
Improvisation, interaction between musicians and the constant reshaping of musical material lie at the heart of the project. Composition becomes a starting point: an open framework that takes on new forms through dialogue and mutual listening. From this perspective, transformation is not a break with tradition, but its natural continuation.
As part of the Belgian Italian Jazz Festival’s pedagogical project and its Connection Lab initiative, the Lorenzo Iorio Trio will be joined on stage by Master’s students from the Jazz Department of the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles.
This collaboration creates a unique opportunity for young musicians to perform alongside professional artists, fostering intergenerational dialogue, improvisation, and artistic exchange.
A special thanks to Michel Paré, President of the Jazz Department at the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles, to the Conservatoire itself, and to all the professors who enthusiastically embraced this collaboration and made it possible.
Through Connection Lab, the festival goes beyond presenting concerts: it creates meaningful encounters between emerging talents and established musicians, transforming the stage into a space for learning, experimentation, and artistic growth.
This is the spirit of the Belgian Italian Jazz Festival: not simply celebrating jazz, but building connections, opening doors for new generations, and ensuring that the music we inherit continues to evolve through those who will carry it forward.
