CONTEMPORARY ACCORDION FESTIVAL
14th - 19th JULY 2025, Castelfidardo, Italy
In collaboration w/ PIGINI Accordions

pne.uma is a masterclass and music education project dedicated to the accordion, with a focus on the contemporaneity and the areas of research within which this instrument is placed.

The project comes from the need to create a space where accordionists from all over the world can meet under the guidance of a renowned Teacher to work on a concert project together. Participants, therefore, will not only be called upon as students, but will follow the planning and all curatorial aspects for the realization of the concert.
The Teacher and Concert Artist, on the other hand, will be tasked with creating a performance that involves the participating musicians. Everything from the audience arrangement to the staging of the concert will be the result of collaboration and teamwork.

The pne.uma masterclass will be held in collaboration with the prestigious accordion brand Pigini Accordions. Which will provide factory space for the final concert.
 The masterclass will last a total of six days and will be be hosted by the city of Castelfidardo, becoming an opportunity for the participating musicians to experience the “City of Accordions”. The residency days will be hosted in the spaces offered by the city of Castelfidardo and food will be provided by the organization, to give the opportunity to create moments of community and learning even outside the studio spaces.

The Guest Teacher of the second edition of pne.uma will be Fanny Vicens, and in collaboration with the Pigini Accordions company, two concerts by internationally renowned accordionists will be hosted on those days.
