Also on Saturday 25, a concert by Claudio Vignali is scheduled at 9.00 pm at the Teatro Caio Melisso “Spazio Carla Fendi”. Vignali is described by critics as “a pianist endowed with an extraordinary classical technique, with a touch full of colours” (A.Tenni), “a pianist of great interpretative skills“, (Montreux International Jazz Piano Competition). In 2013 Vignali won the third prize at the most important international jazz piano competition, the “Parmigiani Montreux International Jazz Piano Solo Competition“, the first prize at the “Onde Sonore International Modern Music Competition“, he was a semi-finalist at the “Nottingham International Jazz Piano Solo Competition” in 2012 and 2014 after being selected both times among 12 jazz pianists worldwide, and was finalist at the “Massimo Urbani Prize“.
