 |
 PIF 2020 will be held in Castelfidardo, Italy from September 16th to 20th, 2020. Artistic director Renzo Ruggieri (picture right), has announced a new category for 2020: the “Astor Piazzolla Award”.The “All Colors of the World” theme of PIF 2020, favors the encounter between cultures, between musical genres and the spread of the accordion with the other arts. “Tango” could not be missing with a dedicated category. Hence the “Astor Piazzolla Award”. “Astor would have appreciated with great enthusiasm that there was a section dedicated to him at the Castelfidardo International Festival! “ (from Laura Escalada Piazzolla). This new award has no age limit and is for soloists or groups (maximum 12 people) with at least one accordion or a bandoneon in the main role. Formations with all reed instruments are also allowed (accordion, bandoneon, melodica, diatonic accordion, harmonica, etc.). Their program must exclusively contain compositions, or free arrangements, of the music of Maestro Astor Piazzolla, not exceeding 18 minutes. A Special Prize “Aldo Pagani” Plaque and scholarship will be awarded in collaboration with A. Pagani Edizioni Musicali. The prize will be awarded at the discretion of the jury. A Concert Prize with hospitality in collaboration with the Astor Piazzolla Academy (City of Paola, Italy) will be awarded to the best classified Italian soloist candidate.
