The city of Catania transforms into a jazz mecca during the Catania Jazz Festival, a seasonal celebration of international jazz since 1983. Held at Teatro ABC and venues across the city, the festival returns through summer and early autumn 2025 with a rich lineup of global talent.
Featuring renowned artists—past performers include Ornette Coleman, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Wayne Shorter—and fresh voices in contemporary jazz, the festival offers concerts, jam sessions, and themed music nights reflecting Sicily’s dynamic jazz landscape.
From intimate club-style sets to grander orchestral performances, the festival celebrates improvisational mastery and creative collaboration.
The Catania Jazz Festival is more than music—it’s a showcase of jazz evolution in Sicily, from avant-garde to traditional, resonating with both connoisseurs and newcomers.
