This will be the sixty-third work since the CCC’s founding in 1954. Antonio Spaccarotella is an internationally acclaimed accordionist, also well known for his unique compositions and improvisations that often experiment with jazz elements. In addition, and in quite a different capacity, he serves as the Artistic Director of the prestigious Castelfidardo Festival. The new work, a solo, will be premiered by another renowned artist, Grayson Masefield, as part of the 2023 AAA Festival, to take place from July 12-16, 2023 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, USA. Antonio Spaccarotella will be present for this world premiere performance and will also present a workshop about his compositions and his musical appointments. His dynamic personality and interesting musical positions will be a very popular addition to the 2023 AAA Festival. Grayson Masefield will also present one of his enthusiastically attended workshops at the AAA Festival. |
