Le improvvisazioni di Marco Lo Russo a Castiglioncello del Trinoroby Rob Howard |
 Spetterà al maestro Marco Lo Russo la presentazione ufficiale della prima edizione del premio “Athena Castiglioncello del Trinoro” e dell’attesissimo festival.Domenica 9 giugno sarà presentato alla stampa e lanciato il bando di concorso per la partecipazione al premio "Per aspera ad astra". Attraverso le asperità alle stelle, è il titolo che quest'anno guiderà lo spirito creativo degli artisti, pittori, scultori, e appartenenti ad altre discipline artistiche s’incontreranno, nel piccolo paese toscano, per creare di fronte al pubblico opere ispirate da uno degli elementi caratteristici di Castiglioncello: il vento. Il premio "Athena Castiglioncello del Trinoro" che si svolgerà dal 13 al 15 Settembre, è aperto a tutti gli artisti Italiani e comprende due sezioni: "Uccelli meccanici" e "Sculture di Vento". Una giuria composta da addetti ai lavori e altri personaggi culturalmente rilevanti selezionerà 3 artisti per la sezione "Sculture di Vento" e 5 artisti per la sezione "Uccelli meccanici". Per avere un assaggio della manifestazione, nella splendida cornice del Monteverdi Tuscany, a ridosso del piccolo borgo medievale di Castiglioncello del Trinoro (SI), domenica 9 giugno a partire dalle 19,00, le suggestioni sonore del Maestro Marco Lo Russo si fonderanno con l'arte fumettistica di Maz Frezzato. Nella sua performance Frezzato, un vero talento del fumetto e dell’illustrazione, creerà illustrazione visiva in live, ispirandosi ad uno dei temi in concorso, mentre il maestro Lo Russo, si esibirà in un’improvvisazione libera, con il suo mix ormai caratteristico di world music e contaminazioni jazz tango in chiave acustica. |

Kielbasia is an accordion playing Drag Lunch Lady. She’s been voted ‘Best Drag Queen with an Accordion’ in San Francisco, and was named Provincetown’s ‘Family Favorite’.
