” It’s been emotional. Two days ago i took the entrance examination for the two year period in orchestral conducting so i studied both for the examination and for the competition. Playing in front of 1.200 people is not easy, especially when you do it at home. At home you have to play very well. Feel the audience so warm, however it’s been exciting”. The New Champion Pietro Adragna could jump out of his skin, he’s just got off the Sala Sinopoli stage in the Auditorium Parco della Musica of Rome, after conquering the umpteenth success in this memorable 2011.

The victory in the category Virtuoso and Digital Accordion at the Coupe Mondiale held in Shanghai earlier this month is still fresh, and the Sicilian accordionist adds to its annual palmarès another important result: the success in the 5th edition of the V-Accordion Festival organized by Roland.

“This last contest close a fantastic year. I won all the competitions (among the many The Strumenti&Musica Festival, ed ) in which I participated. What are your goals for the future? Start studying the repertoire for classical accordion. I still don’t know if i will enter in the competitions “. When asked if the next will be another successful year, perhaps in the classic category, he laughs. “I do not know … let’s see let’s see.” For now he’s still has to enjoy the results achieved this year.
