Mirco Patarini Eletto Presidente della Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA), Osimo - Italia

CIA Presidents List
Raymond Bodell and Mirco PatariniMirco Patarini (Italia) è diventato il 12° Presidente della Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA), il primo Presidente Italiano degli 82 anni dell'organizzazione. PastPresidents.pdf

Patarini assume il ruolo immediato dell'ex Presidente Raymond Bodell (Regno Unito) che ha completato i suoi due mandati (quattro anni), a capo della CIA (foto in destra).

Mirco Patarini nasce a Spoleto (Italia) il 26 Maggio 1966. Nel 1978 ha iniziato a studiare musica al CDMI (Centro Didattico Musical Italiano) a Spoleto. Ha continuato a competere in gare internazionali, vincendo il primo posto nelTrophée Mondial de l'Accordéon di La Caux-de-Fonds (Svizzera).

Nel 1988 inizia a collaborare con l'azienda "Farfisa-Bontempi" come direttore musicale e qui ha iniziato la sua evoluzione nel mondo della musica elettronica. In collaborazione con i produttori Scandalli, Paolo Soprani e Menghini, ha lavorato duramente per lo sviluppo di nuovi strumenti musicali con una maggiore qualità del suono e della meccanica.

Durante questo periodo il suo lavoro come artista da concerto è passato dal repertorio classico alla musica moderna. Con i fratelli Leonardo e Luciano Menghini, lui è proprietario e presidente della Scandalli Accordions Srl. Oggi, lavorando fianco a fianco i suoi colleghi produttori nella piccola ma rinomata città di Castelfidardo, lavora per promuovere l'eccellenza nella produzione della fisarmonica.

Come artista di concerti di fisarmonica, Mirco si esibisce in tutto il mondo come solista, con orchestre sinfoniche e con musicisti riconosciuti a livello internazionale, essendosi esibito in Germania, Svizzera, Spagna, Olanda, Gran Bretagna, Egitto, Brasile, USA, Russia, Norvegia, Svezia, Lussemburgo , Giappone, Cina, Svezia, Canada, Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Ucraina e altro ancora.

Dopo essere stato Delegato e Membro della Giuria per l'Italia, Presidente del Comitato di Musica della CIA e due volte organizzatore della Coupe Mondiale negli ultimi anni, come Presidente, il sig. Patarini porta alla CIA un'ampia ricchezza di competenze su molti aspetti della fisarmonica nel mondo. Dalla creazione alla produzione fino alla fase concerto, alla stampa e alle pubblicazioni on-line di Strumenti & Musica, alla sua collaborazione con musicisti di ogni età e generi di musica, non vede l'ora di lavorare a nome dei 43 membri della CIA nei loro sforzi futuri, nonché promuovere l'importante collaborazione con il Consiglio Internazionale della Musica UNESCO.
