Celso Valli | The man I Love

The man I Love, the first project of Jazz on Symphony 2025 scheduled for Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 March 2025 at the Auditorium Manzoni.

Under the artistic direction of Paolo Fresu, this concert unites two worlds: jazz and symphony.

The man I Love is conceived and directed by Bolognese composer, arranger and record producer Celso Valli, who has worked with, among others, Gianni Morandi, Eros Ramazzotti, Claudio Baglioni and Vasco Rossi.

Giving voice to timeless pages are the two award-winning singer-songwriters Simona Molinari and Malika Ayane, with the extraordinary participation of the ‘lady of Italian music’ Ornella Vanoni. With them on stage also pianist Dado Moroni, double bass player Ares Tavolazzi and drummer Stefano Bagnoli for the rhythm section.
