From 8 June to 31 August, Assisi, Bettona, Cannara and Spello will host the 24th edition of the Cambio Festival, a musical event dedicated to World Music that hosts high-profile and internationally renowned artists including: Manu Katché, Karl Potter, Flying Pickets, Rocco De Rosa, Marc Ribot and the Young Philadephians, Agricantus, Michele Ascolese, Ramberto Ciammarughi, Fabio Zeppetella and many others.
In this new edition, the itinerant formula of the widespread event has been confirmed.
On 9 August at 9.30 p.m., in Piandarca di Cannara, it will be the turn of the concert ‘Play Gershwin’ by the Pieranunzi Trio, consisting of Enrico Pieranunzi on piano, Gabriele Pieranunzi on violin and Gabriele Mirabassi on clarinet.
A central figure in the history of modern American music, Gershwin was a songwriter, pianist and composer of vivid imagination. But he was above all a lucid proponent of an extraordinarily prophetic vision of music, at the centre of which we find that jazz/classical fusion that anticipated by almost a century what is happening around us today. ‘If there are ideas and feeling,’ Gershwin wrote, ‘everything is possible in music. History has proved him right. ‘Play Gershwin’ intends to pay tribute to the courageous, topical musical thinking of one of the most extraordinary musicians of all time.
On 28 August, at 9 p.m., at the Torri di Properzio, in Spello, Lorenzo Bisogno 4tet feat. Cosimo Boni and Massimo Morganti will perform.
The group, made up of Lorenzo Bisogno on tenor sax, Cosimo Boni on trumpet, Massimo Morganti on trombone, Manuel Magrini on piano, Pietro Paris on double bass and Lorenzo Brilli on drums, finds its synthesis in the intertwining of the tales of the individual members: the sound of contemporary jazz with melodic thought, the freshness of improvisation with the elegance of composition. 
The final date of the event will be 31 August, at 21.00, at Villa del Boccaglione in Bettona, which will see Mauro Mela, Stefano Zavattoni & Orchestra on stage with ‘C'è tempo...’.
Two gifted children in piano and classical guitar, rivals in the end-of-year essays in the 1970s, then teenagers and friends making music in the same band, blending their opposite temperaments. Then life with its nuances: out of tune, in tune, divided and shared paths, beats and upbeat rhythms, pauses...
And yet ‘there is time’ to find each other again, thanks to other friends, and to tell each other again, in a new unexpected polyphony with an orchestra... a dream realised that stops time.
