The Italian Cultural Institute in Melbourne and the Consulate General of Italy in Melbourne hosted a spectacular event at the Royal Theatre in Hobart, featuring the first Australian performance of the Di Sabatino Trio in celebration of the Italian Republic Day.
Di Sabatino Trio (Paolo Di Sabatino on piano, Simone Sulpizio on double bass, Glauco Di Sabatino on drums), with their impressive musical background and leading role in the jazz world, the Di Sabatino Trio delivered a unique performance, showcasing original compositions alongside reinterpretations of famous pieces.
Their music captivated the audience with its dynamic and soulful blend of classical foundations and modern jazz influences. The Royal Theatre in Hobart with ts outstanding acoustics and historic charm, provided the perfect setting for this unforgettable evening.
Thanks to all the partners who made the evening possible and to all the guests who participated in this incredible celebration of Italian culture and music.
A special thanks to the Hon. Madeleine Ruth Ogilvie, Minister for the Arts, to Josh Willie, Shadow Treasurer – opposition representative, and to the Mayor of Hobart, the Hon. Anna Reynolds.
The presence of the Di Sabatino trio also held significance for the revitalization of the twinning between the cities of L’Aquila and Hobart within the broader context of deepening the relationship between the Abruzzo region and the state of Tasmania, with Paolo Di Sabatino being originally from Teramo and serving as a professor and coordinator of the jazz department at the “A. Casella” Music Conservatory in the city of L’Aquila.
The collaboration between Melbourne and Hobart for cultural events, such as this one, highlights the commitment to promoting Italian arts and culture across Australia. These events foster a deeper cultural exchange and strengthen the ties between the cities, enriching the local communities with diverse artistic experiences.
Let’s continue to celebrate the beauty of Italian music and culture! 🇮🇹✨
