Smile Orchestra

Smile Orchestra was founded in 2016 by Maestro Catalin Montanaro and follows the model of 1940s swing bands, with a repertoire that revives the golden era of the Swing period. In recent years, the orchestra has performed successfully at important venues such as the Historical Museum of the Military Air Force in Bracciano, the neoclassical Flavio Vespasiano Theatre in Rieti, and the Historic Diplomats’ Club in Rome, as well as at major events sponsored by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism. The orchestra also participates in International Jazz Day and various concerts around the world.
