1st Lanzo Accordion Festival, Turin - Italyby Christine Johnstone |
The 1st Lanzo Accordion Festival will be held in Lanzo Torinese, Turin, Italy on August 28th and 29th, 2021, presented by the Associazione MusicaeArtisti in collaboration with the Municipality of Lanzo Torinese and Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo. Organisers plan that this event, which is dedicated entirely to the accordion, will become an annual festival. The event will be an accordion celebration as well as a spotlight for concert performers and for young accordionists who approach the study of our instrument. As 2021 is the year of celebration of the centenary of the birth of the great Astor Piazzolla, Massimo Signorini (picture left) will perform on the occasion of the presentation of the book “The Life and Music of Astor Piazzolla” by authors Maria Susana Azzi and Simon Collier. The event will also include a showcase for accordion builders who operate in Piedmont making their experience and expertise available to concert performers, as well as companies specialising in construction and repairers of the accordion who will present displays. |
