The Umbria Jazz Winter

capodanno_2015_orvieto_umbria_winter_jazz

Umbria jazz Winter will hold during the last days of December and the first of Januaryy, with over one hundred events that together make up one of the traditional dates of the Italian jazz calendar.

The Festival is built around a successful tried and tested formula combining tourism and first-class music with the hospitality of one of the most beautiful towns in Umbria, rich in history and art.  The programme includes new musical encounters between artists and innovative projects, and the aim is to create a musical mix that can be appreciated by both well-informed jazz lovers and also by those who are less well versed in the language of African-American music.
