We are delighted to be hosted in the beautiful new spaces of Hotel Aquarius.” \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1780930142653{margin-top: 2.5em !important;}” el_class=”thebandits”] \nConcert Program (June – October 2026)\nConcerts will take place monthly\, on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM. \n\nJune 17 | Elena Camerin\nThe festival opens with Venetian jazz singer Elena Camerin\, currently based in the United States and active in the underground jazz scenes of New York and Denver.
