The jazz review between Busto Arsizio and Castellanza
Eventi in Jazz is the jazz review that unites two towns in the Alto Milanese area, Busto Arsizio and Castellanza, both in the province of Varese. The concerts are held at the Teatro Sociale Delia Cajelli in Busto Arsizio and the Teatro Dante in Castellanza, with a programme that unfolds between autumn and winter.
Promoted by the VCO association, the review makes quality its distinguishing feature: the lineup alternates established names in national and international jazz with more accessible projects, designed to introduce even new audiences to this musical genre. Over the years, the festival has hosted prominent artists from the jazz scene and dedicated evenings to the memory of great local musicians.
An important choice of the review is its pricing policy for young people: free admission for under-20s (by reservation) and reduced tickets for students, in addition to the possibility of season tickets. A concrete way to cultivate new audiences and embed jazz culture within the city fabric.
The travelling format between Busto Arsizio and Castellanza allows for the enhancement of two historic theatre spaces and the engagement of audiences from both cities, making Eventi in Jazz a highly anticipated event in the Alto Milanese cultural calendar for autumn.
The 2026 edition of Eventi in Jazz is scheduled between October and November 2026, with concerts spread between the Teatro Sociale in Busto Arsizio and the Teatro Dante in Castellanza. The review, promoted by the VCO association, continues its quality formula that alternates established national and international jazz artists with more accessible proposals. The complete lineup with artists and precise dates will be announced in the weeks preceding the start of the season.
The detailed program for the new autumn 2026 season will be announced closer to the start of the review. Based on previous editions, Eventi in Jazz typically offers:
The previous season featured, among others, Ian Shaw, Sarah Jane Morris, and a Memorial dedicated to Franco Cerri, as well as a special concert by Rossana Casale with the 'Almost Blue' project in early January.
The concerts take place at the Teatro Sociale Delia Cajelli in Busto Arsizio (VA) and the Teatro Dante in Castellanza (VA).
Busto Arsizio and Castellanza are served by Ferrovie Nord (Northern Railways) and the A8 Milan-Varese motorway.
