He also used the occasion to introduce the audience to newer accordion works. This was complemented by some wonderful arrangements of Russian folk songs.

| In the town of Torrice in the province of Frosinone the 2nd graduate seminar was held by Massimiliano Pitocco (performer and teacher at the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome) and Adriano Ranieri (performer and teacher at the Conservatory "L. Refice" of Frosinone). The success of last year’s event led to an increase of members so that this year 32 students participated. Former participants Angelo Miele and Domenico D'Annunzio have become professional artistes, both having benefited from the high level of this course. Other course participants include Armando Rizzo and Eleonora Tomassetti. The course is designed not only to improve the technical-instrumental and musical challenges of each student, but to seek perfection in a close contact between students. For a week the students have shared moments of socialization, cooperation, study, relaxation, comparison, and not least intense moments of conviviality in an environment reserved for them. Massimiliano Pitocco commented: “We'd like to make it a meeting point for many accordionists from around the world, our intent, in fact, is always to improve and the 2010 Edition will be longer with foreign guest lecturers…for greater and wider experience”. Next year’s event will probably be between August and September. For further information email: ranieri.adriano@virgilio.it |
