court jazz

The Campania International Jazz Day is celebrated at the Palazzo Reale in Naples with a special musical event: Jazz a Corte!

The UNESCO Young Campania Committee presents Jazz at Court, That the 30 April 2016 will be hosted in the Royal Palace of Naples. The occasion is given by the International Jazz Day and the Neapolitan city takes the opportunity to also celebrate the Carolino Year, inaugurated in the three hundredth year of the birth of Charles of Bourbon.

The event includes a double appointment: on the one hand the music from the era of the Bourbon ruler, on the other hand you will be able to listen to the White Voices Chorus from Teatro San Carlo who will perform in the “Classic in Jazz” concert.

The initiative, in collaboration with the Campania Museum Complex and the San Carlo Theater, represents a way to discover places and sounds of the Bourbon setting, in an itinerary that touches masterpieces such as the Court theater and the Palatine Chapel.

We want to remember the cultural and musical vivacity of the Kingdom of Naples in the eighteenth century: Pietro Metastasio, Gluck, Johann Christian Bach e Mozart they are just some of the great characters who worked in Naples at the time.
