Signature jazz in Piazza della Chiesa, on the shores of Lake Maggiore
The Torino Jazz Festival Piemonte is the touring branch of the renowned Torino Jazz Festival, a widespread project that brings great jazz music to municipalities across the region every year. The festival is promoted by the Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo together with the Fondazione per la Cultura Torino and the Torino Jazz Festival, in collaboration with the Consorzio Piemonte Jazz. Among the numerous stops distributed throughout the Piedmont region, the one in Baveno, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, has become a highly anticipated event in the cultural summer of the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola area.
The concert is held in Baveno in Piazza della Chiesa, in the heart of the lakeside village, in an evening setting that combines the quality of the musical performance with the beauty of the landscape. Local organization is handled by the Associazione La Finestra sul Lago, in collaboration with the Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo and under the patronage of the City of Baveno. The format is designed to be accessible to everyone, with a single affordable ticket price, intended to bring the general public closer to contemporary jazz.
The programming of the Torino Jazz Festival Piemonte is characterized by the variety of artists involved and the desire to transcend boundaries between genres, geographies, and musical languages. The evenings range from Mediterranean jazz to fusions with folk music, from instrumental repertoire to more experimental offerings, highlighting both big names and emerging talents of the Italian scene.
Overlooking Lake Maggiore, facing the Borromean Islands, Baveno is one of the most renowned tourist destinations in Piedmont. Its square, dominated by the historic Romanesque church, offers an ideal setting for an outdoor concert on summer evenings. The Baveno stage of the Torino Jazz Festival Piemonte is part of a summer calendar rich in cultural offerings that enliven the village and the entire Lake District.
La tappa bavenese dell'ottava edizione del Torino Jazz Festival Piemonte, dal titolo "Sconfinando", è in programma venerdì 31 luglio 2026 alle ore 21:00 in Piazza della Chiesa. Sul palco sale il mandolinista Carlo Aonzo con un raffinato concerto solo per mandolino.
Lo spettacolo si configura come un concerto narrato, in cui la musica si intreccia con momenti di racconto e contestualizzazione: un viaggio dedicato al mandolino che attraversa il barocco, il classicismo e il romanticismo, fino ad arrivare a linguaggi più moderni come il choro, la musica popolare e suggestioni rock. L'evento è organizzato dall'Associazione La Finestra sul Lago in collaborazione con la Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo e con il patrocinio della Città di Baveno.
