Concert by Roberta Gambarini and Jeb Patten at the Embassy (12 December 2019).

Great success for the Gambarini – Patten duo at the Embassy. The singer and the pianist have delighted the audience with a program of jazz music, with some great American and Italian classics, interpreted in an innovative and engaging way. Alongside some improvisations, the duo also paid a tribute to the upcoming holiday season. Roberta Gambarini and Jeb Patten close a year full of cultural events that saw Italy as a protagonist on the capital’s music scene, thanks in particular to the festival “Unexpected Italy: A Celebration of Italian Culture” organized in spring in collaboration with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Italian Cultural Institute. In the framework of the Festival, artists of the caliber of Einaudi, Capossela, Bondi, Rea and many others performed in Washington.
Yesterday’s concert closes the series “Women who Jazz” launched in 2019 by the Italian Cultural Institute with concerts by the Ada Montellanico Quartet, Federica Fornabaio and Angelo Oliviero, Chiara Civello, Rita Marcotulli and Maria Pia De Vito.
