 The annual Sata-Häme Soi Accordion Festival has been taking place in Ikaalinen, Finland, from June 29th to July 4th. There are Daily Reports online at the Sata-Häme Soi website.The festival includes the Primus Ikaalinen VI competition, which was broadcast online and live TV Broadcast on National Finnish TV on Thursday July 1st. Primus Ikaalinen brings some of the best entertainment accordionists from all over the world to Ikaalinen with 1st prize of €3,000 was won by Pietro Adragna (Italy), 2nd prize of €2,000 was won by Petar Maric (Serbia), 3rd prize went to Madina Tsaloeva (Beslan, North Ossetia, Russia). In an extremely close competition, Pietro Adragna and Petar Maric had equal marks. This had happened last year (for the first time ever) when Grayson Masefield (New Zealand) also had equal full marks with Petar Maric and in both cases, the jury had to confer to decide the winner with Petar Maric just missing the win. Such close competition has never happened before in the history of Ikaalinen accordion competitions and is a tribute to the talent, ability and training of the contestants. Each contestant performed two virtuoso entertainment style pieces of 3-4 minutes in duration suitable for a public entertainment concert accompanied by a band provided by the organizers. Please visit the Daily Reports on the Sata-Häme Soi website. You can also find links for the live TV show Coverage of Primus Ikaalinen VI on the Sata-Häme Soi website. |
