Paolo Fresu live in Monforte d'Alba

Experience Paolo Fresu live on July 18th

Paolo Fresu will perform at the Auditorium Horszowski in Monforte d'Alba, Italy on July 18, 2026. Fresu is a highly regarded Italian jazz trumpeter and composer known for his lyrical improvisation and exploration of diverse musical landscapes. His style blends traditional jazz elements with influences from Mediterranean folk music, classical music, and world music traditions. He frequently incorporates extended techniques and utilizes silence as a compositional element. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with numerous international artists across genres.

The Auditorium Horszowski is located within the historic complex of the Marchesi di Barolo castle in Monforte d'Alba, in the Piedmont region of Italy. Originally constructed as a chapel in the 14th century, it underwent significant restoration in the 1980s thanks to a donation from the Horszowski family – descendants of Mieczysław Horszowski, a renowned Polish-Italian classical pianist. The auditorium’s acoustics are particularly noted for chamber music performances and solo instrumental recitals due to its relatively intimate size and carefully considered architectural design. It is now a key venue for cultural events in the Langhe area, hosting primarily classical and jazz concerts.
