At the heart of the Music Today's Bigband's sound is a commitment to redefining what it means to be a traditional big band in the 21st century.
Led by visionary musicians around vocalist Carlotta Malquori (Rome), the band embraces diversity and experimentation, infusing each performance with a fresh, contemporary energy that captivates audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
