L’isola dei Sordobimbi (The
Island of Deaf Children) US
Premiere and discussion with

for the David di Donatello (the

island as the title suggests, these
special children thrive in bright
colors and loud gestures. Their
touching story illuminates how
we all learn and overcome adversities.

Dave Liebman writes “Here’s a
group of musicians who have
dedicated themselves to the
music of the great Thelonious

on the music while respecting its
