Accordion Manufacturer Honored by RAM, London – UKby Roland Williams |
 The London Royal Academy of Music in its distribution of honours in 2009 to top people in the music profession, has awarded an Honorary Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (Hon. ARAM) to Massimo Pigini, Director of the Pigini Accordions Factory. At the ceremony on May 13th 2009, which was presided over by Lord Burns, Chairman of the Governors, the citation included: - “Massimo Pigini is President of the Pigini Accordions Factory, in Castelfidardo, Italy. He has, through his collaboration with the world’s leading teachers and soloists, played a vital role in the instrument’s academic development over the past 30 years. Continuing research goes hand in hand with the work being done in music conservatories worldwide and on the concert platform. The new ‘Mythos’ concert accordion, is testimony to the quality of Pigini’s master craftsmen. The Academy will have the honour of owning ‘Mythos’ number 30 in September 2009. Only 33 will be made and demand for one is very high. As one of the foremost centres of accordion teaching in the world, the Academy has been fortunate to have such a friend as Massimo Pigini”. After the ceremony members of the accordion class each played a solo piece for Massimo and his wife Silvia, which was much appreciated and testimony to the very high standards being achieved. This was followed by a dinner party in a local restaurant with the chief guests Massimo and Silvia Pigini. |
