Palazzo delle Arti Beltrani in Trani will present 'Incanto di Donne' on 26 July 2026 at 9:00 pm, with doors opening at 8:30 pm. Described by the venue as part of its 'Jazz a Corte' series, the concert-raconteur is conceived by pianist Domenico Balducci and produced by Artevives APS. The programme pays tribute to some of the most recognisable female voices in Italian popular music: Mina, Ornella Vanoni, Mia Martini and Fiorella Mannoia.

The event is built as a musical and narrative journey rather than a straightforward recital. According to the venue’s announcement, the project accompanies the audience through music and storytelling, revisiting not only the artists’ repertoire but also their lives and characteristics. Onstage, symbolic objects are used to introduce anecdotes, personality traits and key moments linked to the singers, turning each song into a small story.

The concert’s arrangements are described as original, with jazz and contemporary inflections, alongside moments of improvisation. The aim, as presented in the announcement, is to bring renewed colour to familiar melodies while combining memory and creative interpretation. The title itself signals a focus on women’s voices and identities, with the performance framed as a portrait of 'the woman at 360 degrees' in multiple facets.

Veronica Sinigaglia will perform the vocal part, accompanied by Balducci on piano, Saverio Petruzzellis on drums and Andrea Zecchillo on clarinet. The line-up suggests a compact ensemble format that places the voice at the centre, supported by rhythmic and woodwind textures. The source material does not identify the concert as a one-off premiere or specify whether the programme has been toured elsewhere.

Palazzo delle Arti Beltrani describes itself as a multifunctional cultural centre in Trani and the home of the Pinacoteca 'Ivo Scaringi'. Its website notes that the building, located on Via Beltrani in the historic centre of the city, hosts exhibitions and events and includes permanent collections on its second floor. The concert therefore sits within a broader institutional programme that combines music, visual art and cultural activity.

Ticketing information published by the venue lists prices for the event, with a numerated front-section seat at €20, a partner-member price of €15, a general unnumbered seat at €15 and a partner-member unnumbered seat at €10. Tickets can be purchased at the box office, open Tuesday to Sunday from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, or online via Vivaticket. The venue also states that tickets may be purchased with Carta docente, Carta della Cultura Giovani and del Merito.
