Join us for a very special World Music Thursday feat renowed Italian singer and improviser Elisabetta Maulo and her Jazz quartet. She was born in Montegranaro (FM), a small town located in the region of Marche (Italy). She discovered her passion for music when she was a child and she started out by learning piano and singing. As an artist she remarkably matured at the age of 19 when she moved to Pisa, where she attended seminars of scat and jazz singing hosted by notorius singers such as Marta Raviglia, Petra Magoni and Titta Nesti. In 2013 she met Kaya Anderson (Roy Art Theater) and attended her seminar “Human voice”. Fascinated by the innate bond between body and voice, she started to get interested in acting in theater plays. She played the role of Gian Burrasca in the play “Gian Burrasca and Pinocchio” directed by Erika Gori at the Verdi theater in Pisa and she participated to the play “Gli Oscillanti” at the Bruno Maderna Convervatory of Cesena. Today she is active in blues and jazz music, being the singer of the band Betta Blues Society, that released three albums (“Betta Blues Society”, “Roots” and “Let them out”). In 2018 they entered the final phase of the “International Blues Challenge” in Memphis (USA), placing in the first 8 bands of the competition. She has a duo with the internationally renowned blues guitar player Roberto Luti. She released an album as co-leader with Piergiorgio Pirro (“More Sundays”, 2015) and she sings jazz in her “Elisabetta Maulo Belgian Quartet” with Piergiorgio Pirro, Nicola Lancerotti and Jakob Warmenbol.

In the name of different people and objects, four composers, who integrate art and music works, express to us the stream of consciousness in their minds, and something that can hardly be named. Then to feel, to touch, to listen to the protogenous truth and chaos.By transcending the state of language, interpretation, form, and arbitrary rules or frameworks.

“In this show our purpose is to bring the audience outside of their present world, beyond time. So for the audience we are the guest from heaven. That is where the name come from. These four pieces are interrelated and inseparable to each other, It is also a clue through the varying forms of art to express the "stream of consciousness", in the name of dancer (Kazuo Ohno), in the name of the author (Marcel Proust), also, in the name of cannot name, produced by the collection of music, performance, performance art, multimedia experimental electronic music as one of the show. We hope it is not only an concert, but also a practice, an collection, and a tribute to all the artworks of consciousness by combining the power of music.”

the composers : Tian-Üh ZOU , YiRen LYU , TianFang GIA , Ngaihaam WONG
