With the “Piano FVG” logo, the Pedemontana Music Institute of Aviano launches a new project in a cosmopolitan feel, which makes the piano an absolute protagonist of an artistic and cultural path, open to original synergies and ambitious goals. The new International Piano Competition of Friuli Venezia Giulia, first edition of which starts in 2012, is a biennial event taking place at the Zancanaro Theatre in Sacile, in addition to many prestigious musical events that have always characterized the City of Livenza, today more than ever confirmed as the ‘City of Music'. Also, new are the contest period (late spring) and the articulation of the tests, which will culminate with the selection of the three finalists who will compete in a decisive soul-stirring performance with orchestra.
Even authoritative and consolidated is the artistic and institutional parterre of the event, gathered around the Music Institute of Aviano, which sees the Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, Provincia di Pordenone and CRUP Foundation amongst the main promoters, naturally with the City of Sacile and the regional FVG Mitteleuropa Orchestra, in addition to the essential synergy with Fazioli Pianoforti, artistic and technical partner of the project. Together with them, other cultural institutions, local governments and private partners, who have chosen to support the Competition and the various events connected to it, with particular attention to the promotion of the territory and the involvement of students of schools and academies of music, through specific “educational” initiatives dedicated to them.
The Competition will alternate, in the interim, with a series of concerts reserved for the winners, who will thus benefit from an interesting musical tour, as a further showcase for promoting the career of promising soloists. A way to boost the idea of a network of excellence for young musicians on the rise, able to promote a new generation of acclaimed pianists through a shared experience on an international level.
