From Rome to Rio. World Jazz Hits by Candlelight

Latin American and Italian Hits by the Light of Hundreds of Candles

Volare, Mambo Italiano, The Girl from Ipanema, Quizás, Quizás, Quizás — beloved songs performed live by three vocalists, a jazz band, acoustic guitar, and percussion.

From Rio to Havana, from Buenos Aires to Mexico City — this concert brings together, in one evening, music that is played and sung loudly.

This is the jazz of open windows and small winding streets, the rustle of dresses and the clinking of glasses, sparkling laughter, the tapping of heels on the wooden floors of small Argentine restaurants, and the gentle bossa nova rhythms of Copacabana.

From gentle Brazilian bossa nova to Cuban rhythms and Italian hits — music from different shores comes together in one vibrant program.

On stage are three vocalists, three vivid personalities, and three voices: each with her own story, but together they form a single force of nature. Accompanied by a jazz band, acoustic guitar, and percussion, they will transform the large hall into a small southern club, where the music sounds close and free and makes the heart beat a little faster.

The evening’s special guests are the women’s choir “Kolot Telma.” The choir’s polyphony will add new colors to the program, while familiar melodies will sound even brighter and richer.

The program includes Historia de un Amor, Quizás, Quizás, Quizás, The Girl from Ipanema, One Note Samba, Mas que Nada, Volare, Mambo Italiano, Grande, Grande, Grande, Canción del Mariachi, Conga, and other beloved songs.

The flickering of hundreds of candles, live music, and the feeling of a true celebration — noisy, beautiful, and a little crazy.
