Castellanza to host jazz tribute for trumpeter Emilio Soana

The Cinema Teatro Dante in Castellanza will host a special tribute to the renowned Italian jazz trumpeter Emilio Soana on Friday, October 30. The event is part of the ‘Eventi in Jazz’ festival taking place in the Varesotto region.

Soana, who passed away in early 2025, was a highly respected musician known for his work as a big band lead trumpeter and a creative soloist. His career included directing orchestras for the Sanremo Festival and Radio Svizzera, as well as collaborating with prominent artists such as Zucchero, Francesco De Gregori, Mina, and Battiato.

The tribute will feature the Simply Bop Big Band alongside soloists Paolo Tomelleri and Rudy Migliardi, a group of trumpeters, and vocalists Alice Tosetto and Claudio Borroni.
