Italian culture has long been a beacon of refinement, artistic excellence, and intellectual pursuit. It is a legacy that transcends time, from the grandeur of Renaissance art to the enchanting melodies of opera and the broader world of music. In keeping with this tradition, Renaissance Evolution proudly presents A Celebration of Italian Culture & Art 2025, an evening designed to immerse guests in the beauty and elegance of Italy’s cultural heritage while embracing the rich musical tapestry of the Southern states, and the capital of music.
On Thursday, April 3, 2025, the sophisticated home of Stuart & Marcia Jolly in Brentwood, Tennessee, will be transformed into a modern-day Medici court, radiating Italian and American artistry and cultural splendor. This exclusive event is not just a night of celebration but a journey into the soul of Italy and the United States, blending world-class opera, broader musical selections, exquisite cuisine, and an ambiance reminiscent of the Old World’s charm while paying homage to America’s rich musical traditions.
The evening will feature an intimate performance by Maestro Lorenzo Turchi-Floris, a virtuoso conductor and composer, alongside opera luminaries Maria Aleida and Eduardo Salles. Their voices will echo the brilliance of Italian opera, carrying the audience through an emotional odyssey filled with passion and joy. The performance will incorporate musical pieces that honor the spirit of Nashville’s musical heritage and its deep-rooted influence on the world stage. To complement the auditory delight, guests will savor Italy’s finest wines and traditional stuzzichini, offering an authentic taste of the country's gastronomic excellence.
