Alla Boara: Christmas in Italy
“…if the band has an Italian heart, it has a modern-jazz mind that incorporates advanced harmonies, shifting rhythms, high-wire soloing and complex structures.”
John Chacona – All About Jazz
Alla Boara invites audiences on a unique holiday journey weaving together familiar Christmas melodies with rare Italian folk traditions. Our program features an incredibly fresh approach to Christmas concerts blending contemporary jazzinfused arrangements of ancient folk music with holiday classics!
While North American Christmas traditions typically draw from northern European origins, Alla Boara showcases Italy’s vibrant holiday musical heritage. Our performance bridges cultural divides through authentic folk songs presented with fresh, accessible arrangements that honor their roots while engaging modern audiences.
