The second edition of 5 Wednesdays of Emotions returns in 2026, continuing an interdisciplinary project that brings together live music, sensory experiences, and scientific research. The series explores how music and taste interact to shape emotional responses, combining jazz performances with curated tastings of selected wines, chocolates, and other high-quality products.
I will oversee the artistic direction and musical arrangements remotely from Berlin, shaping the musical programs for each event. For the June and July concerts, I will also be on stage as part of the performances (yay!) 😀
The events are part of the Cantina5.0 research project, developed in collaboration with researchers from the IFC-CNR and the University of Pisa. Audience members may choose to participate in the research by wearing a sensor device that records physiological responses during the tasting and the musical performance, contributing to ongoing studies on the emotional impact of multisensory experiences.
Each evening features a different musical ensemble and a new tasting program.
