Ossola in Jazz and beyond

In 2025, Ossola in Jazz brought jazz to the charming village of Ghesc, in Montecrestese, on September 6 and 7. The audience met at 3:30 PM at the church of Santa Maria Assunta in Montecrestese for a short walk to the village. The edition, organized by the Canova Foundation together with Tones Teatro Natura, was inspired by Italo Calvino's Six Memos for the Next Millennium, with five sets dedicated to the writer's keywords. The concerts began at 4:00 PM, featuring twelve musicians including pianist Simone Locarni, guitarist Davide Sartori, vocalist Sonia Spinello, and saxophonist Tino Tracanna as artist-in-residence. Each set concluded with an aperitif dedicated to local Ossola producers.
