Christmas Fest 2024

As every year, the Christmas Fest organized by the Francesco Stabile Musical Association of Potenza returns. It is an important occasion because this year, the concerts held by the ChriStabile Arkestra will be dedicated to the memory of two musicians, Nazareno Darzillo and Antimo Di Geronimo. The concert titled "The Little Christmas Memory" will, therefore, follow the theme of Christmas and reflect on the legacy these individuals have left us. There will be five concerts organized independently by the Stabile Association, without public funding, marking the key moments of the festivities.

The series begins with a concert at the Potenza Library Hub, which has been a long-standing and significant collaborator, tomorrow at 6:30 PM. Then, on the 23rd, the now-traditional concert will be held at the Church of San Michele Arcangelo at 8 PM. On Christmas Eve, the 24th, they will once again experiment with a noon concert at the Church of Santa Lucia. On Boxing Day, the 26th at 8 PM, also a tradition, a concert will be held at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Lavangone, concluding for the moment with a noon concert on December 31st at 12 PM.

The Association makes a considerable effort to remain autonomous in its choices and in planning its activities. But it was imperative to do so precisely because autonomy fosters creativity. And above all, in memory of those who made music their life's work, like Nazareno Darzillo and Antimo Di Geronimo. The ChriStabile Arkestra is composed of Anna Francesca Mattera as vocalist, Arcangelo Di Lorenzo on alto saxophone, Vito Labriola on double bass, and Marco Ranaldi on piano.
