Rizzoli at 60: Rizzoli Music Aperitivo Presents Tredici Bacci (TICKETED) – New York, NY

Founded in 2013 and led by composer Simon Hanes, New York-based large ensemble Tredici Bacci performs outrageous, joyous, and cinematic music. Over the past ten years, the ensemble has become known for their Italian soundtrack-inspired style, playing raucous shows in bars, galleries, and concert halls and leaving a trail of Campari bottles, confetti, and whipped cream in their wake. Their current music takes inspiration in the explosive sounds of artists like Frank Zappa, probing innermost emotions to craft boisterous pieces. But no matter where the music goes, Tredici Bacci is a community—a close-knit group of artists who traverse it all together.

For their Rizzoli at 60 performance, Tredici Bacci will present a concert celebrating the work of Nino Rota, who composed the music for many of Fedrico Fellini‘s finest films, several of which were produced by Angelo Rizzoli. Alongside they will perform a few selections by Ennio Morricone, as well as original pieces.

RIZZOLI MUSIC APERITIVO

From Francis Scott Fitzgerald to Jack Kerouac, from Toni Morrison to James Baldwin, from Philip Michael Ondaatje to Geoff Dyer, from Julio Cortazar to Boris Vian, from Amiri Baraka and Ishmael Reed to Jayne Cortez, the list of international writers and poets inspired or intrigued by jazz and other musical genres goes on. Since New York City’s Rizzoli Bookstore has a long tradition of building bridges between arts genres, international scenes, and creative people, we wanted to turn our gorgeous space in NoMad into an experimental living room where live jazz and other music can be enjoyed. Rizzoli Music Aperitivo is sponsored by Field Blend Selections and is curated by Mondo Jazz, the weekly Radio Free Brooklyn show dedicated to international jazz.
