 |
 The victory in the PIF 2019 classical composition competition category for Accordion and Symphony Orchestra goes to Dražan Kosoric (picture left) from Bosnia and Herzegovina whose work was entitled "Bas-Celik”, with 2nd place going to Giuseppe Di Falco (Italy) with “Black Forest Suite” and 3rd place to Hervé Esquis (France) an accordionist, bandoneoist, composer and conductor currently teaching in the conservatory Puy-en-Velay (France) with the piece “Anouk et la Cité de Nacre”.A total of 17 compositions were received from Russia, France, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Portugal and the Czech Republic. President of the jury Paolo Picchio (Italy) stated “I am very satisfied for the work of esteemed colleagues and the level of work received. I am sure that a good number of these works (I believe even greater than last year) deserve to remain in the repertoire of accordion concert performers. In the end he won a composition with a great balance and good quality that overall had an appreciation (with high scores) from all the members of the jury.” The jury was composed of Friedrich Lips (Russia), Ivan Fedele (Italy), Gorka Hermosa (Spain), Bete Ilin (Macedonia), Volodymyr Runchak (Ukraine), Massimiliano Pitocco (Italy), Peter Soave (USA), Antonio Cericola (Italy) and Livio Bollani (Italy). The jury noted that it was clear (as it can be seen from the titles of the works) that the composers had interpreted in a personal and creative way the theme assigned by the PIF (“Once upon a time …”) and how the technical level of the orchestral scores reached levels of great enthusiasm for the future of the accordion. The winning song will be the mandatory test piece of the Prize category of the # PIF2019 International Accordion Award of Castelfidardo, which will take place on September 22nd at the gala concert held in the Astra Theater Castelfidardo, Italy. |
