The 27th edition of the International Competition “V. Skirmish”. This prestigious competition stands out for two fundamental characteristics: in addition to the cash prizes, the winners receive the opportunity to perform in a concert with the orchestra, regularly paid and included in the Association’s Concert Season. Furthermore, all activities carried out in collaboration with the Association have legal value for teaching purposes, since the Association is included in the Ministerial Fus.
The competition saw the participation of hundreds of young artists from all over the world, examined by a jury of Masters composed of Antonella Barbarossa (President), Filippo Balducci, Fernando Romano, Mariarosa Romano and Lorenzo Testini.
