5th Vitamine Jazz Festival at the Teatro Juvarra
Date of the event:
The 5th Vitamine Jazz Festival is held at the Teatro Juvarra in Turin on 14 November 2026 at 4.45pm. The event takes its name from the project promoted by the Fondazione Medicina a Misura di Donna (Medicine Tailored to Women Foundation), chaired by Professor Chiara Benedetto, with artistic direction by Raimondo Cesa.[1]
The project
Since 2017 more than 500 musicians of national and international renown, together with many young talents, have brought their music into the wards of the Sant'Anna Hospital in Turin, performing for women, their families and healthcare staff. The performances have taken place in maternity wards, during cancer treatment and in waiting areas across the hospital.[1]
Purpose
The festival grew out of the meeting between art and medicine, with musicians taking part free of charge, healthcare staff and the cooperation of the hospital management. The initiative is based on the belief that art and culture can contribute to people's wellbeing and to a medicine attentive to the human side of care.[1]
