 The first Strumenti & Spring Music Festival, held in Spoleto from May 18th to 25th, hosted some of the best accordionists from Italy and Europe, selecting candidates who will participate in this year’s Coupe Mondiale: Antonio Spaccarotella (category - Varietè Virtuoso), Daniele Ingiosi (category - Senior Coupe Mondiale) and Ezio Testa (category - Piano Accordion) will represent Italy in the finals to be held next October in Glasgow, Scotland.The festival included a highly successful concert titled ‘Beltango’, featuring local Spoleto singer Daniela Pupella, an enchanting performance by 2004 World Champion Alexander Selivanov, and the dancers Nicoletta Pregnolato and Alberto Borsini. A most positive feed-back received from critics and public, went beyond most expectations for the organizers of this first festival edition which was promoted by the Italian Accordion Cultures (IAC), in collaboration with Edizioni Musicali and Discografiche ARS SPOLETIUM, the magazine Strumenti & Musica, the Municipality of Spoleto, Umbria Region, the Province of Perugia, Section of the Russian Federation, the Confederation Internationale des Accordéonistes and Accordion Museum of Castelfidardo, CARISPO Foundation and Banca Popolare di Spoleto, under the artistic direction of Mirco Patarini, world famous accordionist (world champion) from Spoleto. Several appointments: after the preview of "sing to challenge" and the dialect comedy "Lu Lozzu" Strument & Spring Music Festival has hosted at the Teatro Nuovo accordionists Mirco Patarini and Renzo Ruggieri performing together with the Chamber Orchestra Benedetto Marcello, directed by M ° Corporal, Sasha Alexander Selivanov performed at the Pegasus Room (joined by bandoneonist Beltango Alexsandar Nikolic) who opened the gala evening on May 24th at Palazzo Leti Sansi. Mirco Patarini says: "The intention is to continue to promote in Italy the international accordion scenery. This first edition was a moment of great artistic depth that we absolutely intend to repeat in Spoleto in the coming years. The presence of musicians like Renzo Ruggieri, Sasha Alexander Selivanov, Beltango Quintet and the Orchestra directed by Maestro Corporal was an excellent beginning. " Carried away with the music of Astor Piazzola and Rachmaninov, fascinated by the melodies of the two great Russian authors Anatolj Kusyakov and Vladislav Solotarjov, the public has responded to the expectations enshrining the emergence and success of a new event entirely dedicated to the accordion. |
