Jazzing It Up: Morning Routine at Torgiano Winter!
Ah, November! The time of year when people start to get a bit cozy, break out the woolly sweaters, and pretend they’re going to start Christmas shopping early. But instead of dealing with the frenzy of holiday madness, why not immerse yourself in some soulful jazz right in Torgiano? That’s right! Mark your calendars for Friday, November 22, 2024, at 9.00 PM. The third edition of Torgiano Winter events kicks off with an evening that promises to heat up your chilly night.
What’s on the menu, you ask? We’ve got a jazz concert aptly titled “Morning Routine” featuring the incredible Manuel Magrini tickling the ivories, Pietro Paris strumming the double bass, and the legend Cosimo Boni making a special guest appearance on trumpet. Just when you thought mornings couldn’t get any more surreal!
Now, let’s talk turkey—err, jazz. The “Morning Routine” isn’t just a concert; it’s a deep dive into the bond between two musicians who aren’t just friends, but a duo grappling with the artistic essence of jazz. What’s better than waking up and sharing the day with the greats of jazz history? Only in Torgiano could this poetic lifestyle be celebrated so beautifully. Ever shared your morning with a classic composer? Nope, me neither—unless you count the time I accidentally set my morning toast waaaay too crispy. It was a *great* charred rendition of Bach, let me tell you!
And if the music wasn’t enough to draw you in, how about evoking your inner photographer with an exhibition by the talented Marco Nicolini? His collection, titled “Jazz chords,” will grace the walls and take you on a visual journey through the lens of jazz and creativity. Think immediate development film—like Polaroids with a twist! You’ll experience jazz musicians captured in candid moments, showcasing the chaos and calm of life, creating art from the surreal to the downright bizarre. And honestly, at this stage in my life, bizarre feels pretty normal.
For those looking to tease their taste buds before the concert, don’t miss out on dinner at the Osteria del Museo. Dinner will be served at 7.30 PM, and it will set you back just 35 euros. Reservations, as you can guess, are a must! Because nothing says “jazz night” quite like eating dinner while reflecting on life choices—like why we chose this particular hair style.
Feeling inspired yet? You should be! As you plan your night out—concert, dinner, and art—don’t forget that it’s all about embracing the creative vibes of jazz. The full event calendar can be navigated online at Torgiano Winter’s official website. Good luck juggling dining reservations and squeezing into the free concert seats!
So, what are you waiting for? Go grab your spot before they’re all gone. Remember, it’s free entry while places last! That’s fancy talk for “you snooze, you lose,” and trust me, nobody wants to be the ‘schmuck’ outside the vibrant Sala Sant’Antonio without a seat. Enjoy the evening like it was a Matisse painting—full of color, emotion, and a healthy dash of improvisation!
Until next time, keep the jazz alive and may your mornings always be routine… or at least as delightful as Torgiano’s magical night out!
