BargaJazz Festival

The 2025 edition of the BargaJazz Festival, the thirty-sixth, paid tribute to trumpeter Marco Tamburini on the tenth anniversary of his passing. The orchestra's soloist was American trumpeter Eddie Henderson, a long-time friend and collaborator of Tamburini.

The BargaJazz Contest on August 13, reserved for emerging groups under 35, featured the Meeting Point Quintet, Cloudy Peaks, and Saihs. The final evenings of the International Competition took place on August 23 and 24 at the Teatro dei Differenti: in the arrangement section, "Yesterday Night" by Giacomo Serino won, while "The Long Promenade Home" by Giacomo Riggi won in the original composition category. On August 17, the "Barga IN Jazz" day enlivened the historic center with the Large Street Band.
