Ytali and Ytali Global are excited to present a special evening to celebrate the culture and community of our city – Blues For Venice. Join us at Laguna Libre on 31 October (doors open at 18:30, event is 19:00 – 23:00) for a unique event that will include:
Live Blues Jam
Theatrical Presentation
Poetry Reading
A Fantastic Dinner
The evening will feature performances by special guests Gualtiero Bertelli, Gianni Di Luigi and more!
Music starts at 19:00, and in the spirit of the blues jam, musicians and singers are invited to sit in. There will be two sets: an early set, and then a later, longer jam after the dinner. Join us on stage! Please contact Paul Rosenberg for further information.
Tickets are on sale now online, and we are pleased to offer discounted rates for students. Tickets for ‘drinks only’ seating (5 Euro) will be on sale at the door the night of the show.
The idea for “Blues for Venice” comes directly from the nature of the Blues itself. The Blues takes the simplest musical progression and transforms it into a vehicle for emotion and longing, hope and joy and resilience. Ultimately, the Blues are not a lament, but a celebration of how we all have to find a way to get by in a very harsh world and how it can get anyone down sometimes, and how we can hopefully have a little fun along the way in spite of it all. The Blues are a cry of shared feeling and experience carried along the waves of the simplest and most infectious riffs and grooves.
Please join us!
