The eighth edition of the Italian Fusion Festival will take place on Saturday November 15 2025 from 6 pm at the United Arts Club, 3 Upper Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin 2.
Celebrating the fusion of Italian creativity and Irish culture through music, film, visual art, and gastronomy, this year’s “Jazz Edition” highlights the unifying power of improvisation — a musical metaphor for cultural fusion.
Organised by Radio Dublino and supported by the Italian Institute of Culture and RTÉ, the festival continues its mission to foster cultural exchange and showcase the richness of contemporary Italian talent, featuring performances by Simone Zanchini, the Luisa Annibali Quintet, the Julyo Trio, and the Matilde Lotti String Quartet. The programme also includes a solo exhibition by Irish artist Ishmael Claxton and the 2025 Short Video Competition, spotlighting emerging filmmakers exploring the theme of cultural connection.
