Primo Maggio in Jazz

Jazz takes center stage on May Day in Borgomanero

On Labor Day, the Teatro Rosmini in Borgomanero opens its doors for a special evening dedicated to jazz. Primo Maggio in Jazz has become one of the most anticipated events of the local cultural season: an evening concert that brings musicians capable of moving effortlessly between swing tradition and modern sounds to the Via Fornari stage. It is a proposal designed for genre enthusiasts but open to everyone, set within the intimate and welcoming atmosphere of this Borgomanero theater.

An evening of swing and musical exploration

The common thread of the festival is the dialogue between past and present: great swing classics revisited with a personal and refined language, far from any cliché. The stage hosts trios and ensembles that boast collaborations with some of the biggest names in international jazz, guaranteeing high artistic quality. It is a precious opportunity to listen to live jazz—both sophisticated and immediate—in a hall with excellent acoustics.

Teatro Rosmini, the city's cultural heart

The Teatro Rosmini is one of the main cultural hubs of Borgomanero, hosting a rich program of plays, music, and family shows throughout the year. Its location on Via Fornari, just a short walk from the historic center, makes it easily accessible and a landmark for residents of the area and neighboring towns.

Borgomanero and Upper Piedmont

Located in the province of Novara, in Piedmont, Borgomanero is a lively town in Upper Piedmont, a short distance from Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore. Known for its food and wine traditions—above all the famous tapulone dish—and the dynamism of its cultural life, the city offers visitors a pleasant setting to combine music, fine dining, and local discovery. Attending Primo Maggio in Jazz thus becomes an opportunity to explore an authentic corner of Piedmont.
