MUSIC MADE IN ITALY - Cremona Musica Gala Evening. Awards ceremony for Rosa Feola, Francesco Filidei, and Franco Scala.

Cremona Musica’s traditional gala evening will take place again this year. This year, it’s titled “Music Made in Italy” and will be dedicated to Italian musical excellence: from Cremona’s great violin-making tradition to the legacy of the composers and performers who have made Italy a beacon of beauty and creativity worldwide. Renowned musicians will perform live, discovering and celebrating the richness and diversity of “Made in Italy” in music. During the evening, the Cremona Musica Awards will be presented to Maestro Franco Scala (project category, for the Imola Piano Academy) and Francesco Filidei (composition category). Soprano Rosa Feola will also receive the Premio Abbiati del Disco award in the Solo Repertoire category. The “Italian Musical Heritage,” which encompasses not only the great violin-making tradition but also Italian music and musicians, will also be celebrated through various live performances of Italian music by performers such as Luigi Attademo, Marina Comparato, Rosa Feola, Lucrezia Liberati, Francesco Libetta, Liù Pelliciari, and Edoardo Zosi. Naturally, they will all play on Italian instruments.
