What is the Nu Fest 2023 in Venice?
Nu Fest is Veneto Jazz’s signature festival of electronic and contemporary music, founded in 2007 by Marcello Mormile, the festival’s artistic director.
His knowledge of experimental music and his innate intuitive sensitivity to the discovery of new musical trends in this field met the history and structure of Veneto Jazz, giving birth to unprecedented projects such as Nørdic Frames, a festival dedicated to Nordic production, and unforgettable events.
The events of Nu Fest 2023 in Venice
April 6th: Solaris at Fondaco dei Tedeschi
In Solaris, at the Fondaco dei Tedeschi on April 6, two different musical paths converge on an original common ground, inspired by Tarkovsky’s film of the same name.
The project, born in 1986 from the encounter between Zigante’s cello and the electroacoustic sounds of Li Calzi’s trumpet, traverses electroacoustic improvisation, electronics and contemporary rewriting of Bach and Artemyev’s classicism.
