Thursday 15 October 2015

6.30pm


This jazz concert is part of the XV Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel Mondo:

This concert is dedicated to Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), 
one of the greatest and most loved Tuscan painters of the XX Century. 
Stone sculpture
by Amedeo Modigliani


Andrea Pellegrini's compositions reveal a jazz which is fascinating and evocative. His music is inspired and influenced by the art of Modigliani and by Africa, a common presence both in jazz music and in the paintings and sculptures of Amedeo Modigliani.



Andrea Pellegrini

Italian pianist and composer Andrea Pellegrini has a background in classical music, but then he devoted his talent to the jazz music world. He has played with Italian musician Paolo Fresu and is very active in Italy and in Europe.



Mirko Guerrini


Mirko Guerrini, playing with Andrea Pellegrini at this concert, studied piano, saxophone, classical composition and jazz music at the Conservatorio "Cherubini" in Florence. He then was part of Stefano Bollani's band. Mirko at present is Adjunct Fellow and Teaching Associate at Monash University in Melbourne.
