About Calascibetta Jazz Festival
Jazz in the heart of central Sicily
The Calascibetta Jazz Festival is a concert series held at the Teatro Comunale Contoli Di Dio in Calascibetta, a charming village perched near Enna, in the heart of Sicily. The event offers a calendar of jazz performances scheduled between late winter and spring, hosted in a small municipal theater that fosters an intimate and up-close listening experience.
A series by ItalianinJAZZ
The organization is managed by the ItalianinJAZZ Association, with artistic direction by Alfredo Colianni, and is supported by the Municipality of Calascibetta and the Libero Consorzio Comunale di Enna. The choice to bring jazz to a small town in the Enna hinterland reflects a desire to decentralize cultural offerings and introduce the general public to a genre often confined to major cities.
What to expect
- Jazz ensemble concerts, ranging from trios to quartets, featuring musicians from the Sicilian and national scenes.
- Repertoires spanning from classic jazz to modern sounds, featuring guitar, sax, Hammond organ, and drums.
- Affordable ticket prices, designed to make live music accessible.
- An intimate atmosphere in the municipal theater of Calascibetta's historic center.
The setting: Calascibetta and the Enna area
Calascibetta sits on a rocky spur facing Enna, overlooking the Salso river valley. Its medieval historic center and proximity to the Realmese necropolis make it a destination of cultural and tourist interest. The Calascibetta Jazz Festival fits into this context as one of the events that enliven the cultural life of the village and the entire Enna province, helping to promote the small town to music lovers from across Sicily.
