The eclectic line-up of Umbria Jazz Festival tells the spectators at what extent music can be different and the reasons why, if we talk about good music, it all deserves attention.

ORVIETO CON GUSTO 2010


orvieto con gusto
Celebration of Made in Italy and Slow Food
XII Edition - Seven days between Septembere and October 2010 to celebrate the wine and gastronomic tradition of the "Made in Italy".
Unfortunately the 2009 edition of Orvieto con Gusto will not be realized.
"Orvieto con Gusto" ("Orvieto with taste")is an event dedicated to the culture of alimentation and good life and is organized by the City of Orvieto in collaboration with the Association Slow Food and the GAL.
The prestigious event was born in 1997, after a memorable world congress of the "Slow Food" Movement which took place properly in the Umbrian city. So, once again, from the city of the cliffs one will be entitled to require an alimentation able to preserve the territorial diversities inside an environment friendly framework and to retrieve a link with taste and with a time not contaminated by the stress of the actual rhythms of life.
During the events, the cultural appointments will not miss such as the conferences inside the museums and the historic monuments, the laboratories of the taste, food itineraries, painting exhibitions and theme dinners

UMBRIA JAZZ WINTER # 18 - (Orvieto)
From 29 December 2010 to 2 January 2011

UJWinter09 JohnClayton GeraldClayton 01
Orvieto will be the framework of the 18th edition of Umbria Jazz Winter; 5 days of music, culture and events linked to New Year's Eve 2010.
During the five days of the programme Orvieto will offer music at all hours of the day. The main events that characterise the festival are the New Year's Eve dinners which are followed by concerts and jam sessions and the traditional New Year's Day mass that takes place in the magnificent cathedral to the accompaniment of the gospel choir.
The city of Orvieto draws together the different parts of the festival. The venues in the old town centre, its art and history all contribute to create what one American critic has called “jazz Italian-style”. Orvieto’s town squares, gardens, theatre, together with its restaurants and clubs all make a spectacular historic setting in which you can enjoy the contemporary sounds of jazz and the various musical forms that have derived from it
