The Carlo Cattano Orchestra was founded in 2012, as part of a musical project led by saxophonist, composer and conductor Carlo Cattano. The aim was to bring together young musicians who are open to new influences and without prejudice, using the artistic background and unique sensibilities of each performer. This orchestra functions as a flexible platform for research and experimentation, serving as a creative laboratory for musical ideas, welcoming influences and expressing them fearlessly. The Carlo Cattano Orchestra has graced the stages of various festivals including Moro Jazz Festival, Vittoria Jazz Festival, Arcosoli Jazz in the picturesque Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Nero d'Arte Festival, Noto in Jazz, Catania Jazz, Milo Jazz and Trentino Jazz.
