“The competition retains its preconceived thematic move -” Succession, inheritance, generations “, inviting us to imagine about how cherished an inheritance we have acquired from our ancestors, or how to recognize it, emphasizing the musical heritage as an organism, which is not a transmitted amount. to long term generations in immutable variety and content “, describe the organizers.

The succession and legacy of generations of composers and musicians has influenced us and, I hope, will also encourage the viewers of the festival “.
