Her vibrant voice, innovative techniques and emotional tracks will always be remembered and loved. The concert pays tribute to the artistic spirit of the great Lady Day by recontextualizing it in our time, more than a century later. Journey with Nadia Braito and her musicians into the life of the great Billie Holiday with updated renditions of some of her best known and loved pieces.

What could be a more beautiful way to admire the Valtellina landscape than walking en route to an AmbriaJazz Festival Concert?
Taking the Via dei Terrazzamenti from Ardenno, hike along a historic path that connects various districts. You can discover enchanting views, admire the valley from an unusual prospective and take a break from the sun walking through the woods.
Bring a hat, water bottle and hiking boots: you will find fountains on the way. The route is uphill but easy and very scenic.
If you want to travel to the performance with other concert goers, meet us for a departure at 9:00 from Piazza Roma in Ardenno, in front of City Hall, where there is also parking
