The Flight of Jazz
Sacile's autumn jazz festival, without borders
About The Flight of Jazz
Jazz Takes Flight in Sacile
Il Volo del Jazz is the major autumn jazz series in Sacile, conceived and organized by Circolo Controtempo, the same organization from Cormòns that presents the renowned Jazz & Wine of Peace. From October to December, the town on the Livenza River becomes a focal point for genre enthusiasts, with a lineup that intertwines major international names and new voices from the contemporary scene.
Music Without Borders
The spirit of the festival is that of jazz "without borders," with a declared intention to "speak many languages": from the most classic jazz to fusions with world music, from acoustic ensembles to more experimental proposals. Over the years, the main stage of the Teatro Zancanaro has hosted absolute leading figures such as Danilo Rea, Roberto Fonseca, and Nik Bärtsch, alongside emerging young talents, in a program designed for both connoisseurs and those new to jazz.
More Than Just a Concert Series
In addition to concerts, Il Volo del Jazz offers collateral events — photographic exhibitions, meetings, and discussions dedicated to jazz legends and the relationship between music and cinema — that enrich the audience's experience. It's an opportunity to experience Sacile and its elegant Venetian palaces in autumn, guided by the notes of one of the most appreciated jazz events in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The Flight of Jazz — edition 2026
Il Volo del Jazz returns to Sacile, the autumn jazz series organized by Circolo Controtempo. In 2026 too, the festival will take place between October and December with concerts at the Teatro Zancanaro and in other city venues, under the banner of a "borderless" jazz that alternates major international names and new proposals from the contemporary scene.
As is tradition, the concerts will be accompanied by collateral events dedicated to jazz culture. The detailed program will be announced by Circolo Controtempo in the weeks preceding the start of the series.
Programme The Flight of Jazz 2026
The detailed program for the 2026 edition, with artists, dates, and times of the concerts, will be announced by Circolo Controtempo, usually starting in September. The planned structure follows the traditional one: evening concerts at the Teatro Zancanaro and in other venues in Sacile from October to December, featuring major international names and new voices from the jazz scene, accompanied by collateral events such as photographic exhibitions and meetings.
