Umbria Jazz appealed to Italian Jazz to a concrete example of solidarity for the people affected by the earthquake in central Italy on August 24th.
And musicians, the same people who for years has come the stages of the festival and who have left so many wonderful memories, both for them and for the public responded enthusiastically.
At first, to raise funds to be donated to the victims of the earthquake populations, he thought to an evening of music but as soon as the rumor spread have called many to participate and help out. The evenings are so became two, then even three. In the end, it is a real festival that has managed to organize together with the Region and the Municipality of Assisi, indeed an event more complex than expected, in addition to music, even a get-together and socializing with typical products of the territory .
A great concerted effort with the help of many.
The musicians will perform without compensation, Lyrick Theatre in Assisi has been made available free of charge by the Municipality, and every effort has been made to ensure that the organizational costs of the events were kept to a minimum and in any case was covered by the contribution of private sponsors. The goal you hope to accomplish is to pay ALL the proceeds from ticket sales to the National Civil Defence.
