Battiati Jazz Festival – Notes in the Theatre

Notes in the Theatre 2025

The 2025 edition of the series, also hosted at the Gilberto Idonea Theatre of the Sant'Agata li Battiati Cultural Hub, took place between February and May with a series of evenings dedicated to contemporary jazz, cross-genre influences, and young talents. The artistic direction was curated by Antonio Petralia.

Among the most significant events, the programme featured the Toscanini Jazz Ensemble from the Ribera Conservatory, projects that won national awards such as the Conad Contest Prize at Umbria Jazz and the Massimo Urbani Award, and a special evening on April 30 for International Jazz Day. Guests also included the Ada Montellanico 4et with a tribute to Billie Holiday. The concerts were held at 9:00 PM, confirming the series' format as an intimate listening space in the heart of the Etna municipality.
