San Vincenzo la Costa (CS) has everything ready for the 19th edition of the International Accordion Festival.

It will begin with Paolo Presta & Federica Greco in ‘A “sta frinesta” - Songs of the Calabrian oral tradition, Duo diatonic accordion - tambourine/voice, on 22 July at 21.30 -Sagrato Chiesa del Carmelo, frazione Gesuiti. ‘A ‘sta frinesta’, is the title for the Duo's artistic collaboration that reinterprets the motifs of our oral tradition, imagining that window as the point of view from which human and other events are revealed. There are the landscapes, the passing of the seasons, but there is also the sense of standing at the window or balcony, which in the south is the place under which serenades are sung.

The programme will continue on Saturday 3 August at 9.30 p.m. in San Vincenzo La Costa's Piazza Municipio with Antonio Grosso & About Tarantella - Diatonic accordion quartet - piano - electric bass - drums - in a choreographic show of pizzica, taranta and tammurriata.

And again, as part of the 10th edition of the White Night of San Sisto dei Valdesi, in Largo Caracciolo, on 10 August at 9 p.m., Ida Altrove 4rtet will play - Italian and overseas music in a jazz and R&B key - Piano/synth quartet - electric bass - drums - vocals.

The closing evening will be Sunday 8 September at 7 p.m., at the Cantine De Caro in San Vincenzo La Costa, with the Polimnia Youth Orchestra in ‘Bach meets Piazzolla’ - Orchestral Concert. Conductor: Mattia Salemme - Bayan: Pietro Pardino.
