As part of the “Venezia Jazz Festival Fall Edition”, renowned bandoneonist Daniele Di Bonaventura will present his concert “L’armonium dei poveri” on November 19, 2024, in the Sale Apollinee of La Fenice Opera House.
Hailing from the Marche region, Di Bonaventura is celebrated as one of the most original and creative bandoneon players in the world. His music effortlessly blends classical elements—such as structured composition—with the improvisational freedom of jazz. His work draws heavily on Mediterranean melodic traditions and South American genres, creating a style that is both rooted in tradition and strikingly modern.
In his solo performances, Di Bonaventura delves into pieces from his “musical homeland”, exploring a wide array of influences that range from Baroque composers to the classics of popular music. His newest repertoire offers an eclectic mix that builds his own unique and varied musical world. Whether improvising or performing structured pieces, Di Bonaventura’s bandoneon takes on many forms, playfully transforming into a harmonica or a church organ in a captivating display of versatility.
In the words of Pierre Favre, “in his hands, the bandoneon transforms into a chamber orchestra”, producing dynamic, mesmerizing melodies that have the power to enthrall audiences. Di Bonaventura’s concert promises an extraordinary experience, where tradition, innovation, and emotion converge in a performance full of surprises.
