![]() The XV International Accordion Week included the XVI National Trophy of Accordion, with special concerts and events, which made this event one of the best ever Trofeo Nationale. It was a great success! The 2011 Trofeo Nationale offered about 40 events involving about 40 young accordionists from north to south with a very strong educational component, lots of encouragement and a warm presence amongst all the participants. As usual, a master class took place, this time by Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi as well as high-class concerts. A highlight was the closing concert with João Barradas (picture right) the Tango Duo of Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi and Luca Lucini and the Orquestra e Coral de Alcoba conducted by Anibal Freire at the Monastery of Alcobaça,. The Association of Accordion and Orchestra of Alcobaça have, once again, produced a high quality international event for accordion in Portugal, greatly enjoyed by all those who attended. |
