UMBRIA JAZZ WINTER WEBSITE

UMBRIA JAZZ WINTER #19 takes the stage once more in Orvieto, as it has every year since 1993. From December 28  to  January 1, there will be five days of top quality music performed in a truly unique setting – the old town centre of one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities in Umbria, a home to art and fine cooking and where hospitality is one of the distinguishing features of the local people.
The formula for this winter festival was established in its very first year, and in the intervening fourteen years it has been consolidated and fine-tuned. For five days there is music throughout the day and into the wee small hours, and the streets of Orvieto’s old town centre become alive with crowds of festive, enthusiastic music fans. It is the combination of culture and tourism that characterises Umbria Jazz and makes it unique among the many Italian music festivals.
On stage this year:
 Michel Camilo, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Chano Dominguez, Stan Tracy, The Harlem Jubilee Singers, Paolo Fresu, Fabrizio Bosso, Gianluca Petrella, Danilo Rea, Franco Cerri, Renato Sellani, Peppe Servillo, la Lydian Sound Orchestra, Bobby Broom, Allan Harris, Funk Off, and many more.
