The great international autumn jazz in Spoleto's theatres
Spoleto Jazz is the festival that every autumn brings international jazz to the historic theatres of Spoleto, in the province of Perugia. Organized by the Visioninmusica association, with the support of the Municipality, the season takes place between October and November in the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti and the Teatro Caio Melisso - Spazio Carla Fendi.
Spoleto Jazz has become known for its ability to attract leading international artists to the Umbrian city, with a lineup that blends jazz, soul, funk, R&B, and Latin influences. Alongside the big names, there is space for emerging young talents, in a balance that has become the hallmark of the festival.
The concerts are held in two of Spoleto's most beloved venues: the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti, also a focal point of the renowned Festival dei Due Mondi, and the intimate Teatro Caio Melisso. The intimate atmosphere of the halls and the beauty of the historic centre make every evening an experience that goes beyond a simple concert.
The festival is curated by Visioninmusica, an association based in Terni active in promoting singer-songwriter music, which has made Spoleto Jazz one of the most anticipated autumn events on the Umbrian music calendar.
Spoleto Jazz 2026, organized by Visioninmusica, opens on Friday, October 16, 2026, at the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti with a concert by Judith Hill, voice, guitar, and piano, a soul icon who blends gospel, rock, funk, and jazz into a personal language. She will be accompanied on stage by Robert "Pee Wee" Hill on bass, Michiko Hill on keyboards and synths, and Shadrack Oppong on drums.
The season will continue with other concerts between October and November, hosted at the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti and the Teatro Caio Melisso - Spazio Carla Fendi. The full programme is being finalized and will be announced on Visioninmusica's official channels.
The rest of the 2026 lineup (concerts in October and November between Teatro Nuovo Menotti and Teatro Caio Melisso) will be announced soon on visioninmusica.com.
Spoleto is on the Rome-Ancona railway line; from the station, the centre is reachable by mechanized walkways. By car: take the Spoleto exit from the SS3 Flaminia.
Tickets for individual concerts and season passes are available through Vivaticket and the official Visioninmusica channels.
