From April 3rd to 5th the international accordion competition ‘Ascoltate’ was held, for the 10th time, in Kaunas, Lithuania. In various categories (solo for classical and entertainment, duo, ensemble, orchestra and chamber music) candidates from 7 countries - Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Bosnia-Herzegovina - faced an international jury consisting of K. Stonkus, E. Gabnys (Lithuania), H. Scheibenreif (Austria), D. Rakic (Bosnia-Hercegovina), V. Pligovka (Belarus) and S. Kacans (Latvia). In particular the younger participants performed with much devotion and enthusiasm, and the level of their presentations was really astonishing, and in addition the programs (usually a polyphonic work, an original and a virtuoso piece) were played exclusively by heart. The winner of each category was rewarded the ‘Grand Prix’, which had to be divided in the highest category: both V. Bendas (Ukraine) and S. Petuch (Belarus) charmed both jury and public by their presentations. In an evening concert Vladislav Pligovka (picture right), winner of several international competitions, showed his outstanding abilities not only as a classical accordionist but also on the musette accordion. All in all, M. Labanauskas and G. Lukošiene as organizers of ‘Ascoltate 2012’ were delighted about the huge success of their event.
