In the splendid setting of the Theatre Arrigoni, S. Vito al Tagliamento (Pn) the 2nd edition of the Accordion Festival was held on December 18th and 19th, organized by Pro Loco Borgna, with the support of local musical instruments and the region Friuli Venezia Giulia, and attended by many renowned international artists. The concert held on December 18th, ‘From Baroque to Contemporary’, was dedicated to the bayan accordion and performed by Adolfo Del Conte from Friaul, Professor at the Conservatory U. Giordano in Foggia, and Massimiliano Pitocco, from Pescarar, Professor at the Conservatory S. Cecilia in Rome. The two well-known musicians played masterfully works by J. S. Bach, D. Scarlatti, F. Mendelssohn, R. Schumann, A. Beloschitsky, M. Constant, and Solotarev. The concert on the 19th, ‘The Classical Accordion and Varietè’, involved Saria Convertino, Angelo Miele (lower picture) and Mario D'Amario (upper picture). These are three young, but already established musicians, masterfully performed works of J. S. Bach, I. Albeniz, A. Kusiakov, F. Angelis, R. Galliano, and R. Ruggieri. Both concerts were highly acclaimed by music critics and the large audiences. For the first time, an accordion master class was held by Del Cont and Pitocco, with the participation of excellent students from Italy, Austria, and Slovenia. Due to its success, plans are already in progress for the third festival in the month of October. |
