-Results-
This year we received 222 scores by 182 composers from 42 countries.
The very high quality of compositions made our selection very difficult, and we are proud that our call for scores is attractive to so many, various and gifted composers.
Many compositions deserve to be awarded and (above all) performed, but unfortunately our means are limited and we regret being able to program only few works.
Anyway, many thanks to all participating composers, again, for having shared their music, their valuable work, with us.
The jury members of this year were:
– Dagmar Bathmann (Germany) – mezzo-soprano/cellist
– Omar Cecchi (Italy) – percussionist
– Norberto Oldrini (Italy) – composer, musicologist, pianist, artistic director
– Diego Pucci (Italy) – pianist, composer
– Mirco Rubegni (Italy) – trumpeter, composer, artistic director
– Clara Salomon (U.S.A.) – soprano
The Jury, in the Musica Prospettiva‘s spirit of multiplicity, has decided to award works of very different style:
1° Prize EX-AEQUO
– Ari Ben-Shabetai (Israel) – ForteCelloPiano, for cello and piano (1993)
– Satoru Ikeda (Japan) – Daffodil, for voice and piano (2019)
Special Mention
– Zhuosheng Jin (China/Canada) – (in)somnia, for cello (2015)
DUOroboros Special Prize
– Valerio Rossi (Italy/Switzerland) – Beyond the Edge, for mezzo-soprano/cello and percussion (2019)
Congratulations to the winners!
More info about our choice, its reasons, statistics, etc, are following in the next days.
We are already working on the next edition, that will have a different instrumentation and a different jury.
Stay connected!

The performers
DUOroboros
(Dagmar Bathmann, mezzo-soprano and cello;
Omar Cecchi, percussion)
Born in 2016, unique in its cello/percussion combination enriched by the mezzo-soprano voice by the same cellist, DUOroboros collaborated with the Compagnia Lombardi-Tiezzi at Piccolo Teatro Studio in Milan and performed on many other stages. DUOroboros performs chamber music at Pistoia capitale italiana della cultura, Fondazione Luigi Tronci (Pistoia), Auditorium S.Stefano al Ponte Vecchio (Florence) and Cantiere Internazionale d’Arte di Montepulciano (founded by H.W.Henze), where in 2017 it had the artistic residence Camere Contemporanee, dedicated to the contemporary repertoire. It also performed at Teatro dell’Opera in Florence and Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Brussels. DUOroboros promotes the artistic research by commissioning new works to composers, performing original works and from the classical and popular repertoire.
Diego Pucci (piano)
Born in Rome in 1981, he graduated in piano from the Conservatorio B.Maderna in Cesena (Italy). After numerous concerts and solo recitals in Italy and abroad, he retired from the concert activity. He worked at Ateneo della Danza in Siena as an accompanying pianist to classical dance, participated in lessons conducted by internationally renowned masters and dancers, and staged dance shows in Cagli, Sorrento, Siena and Milan. In 2013 he left the dance world and opened a martial arts school. He then resumed piano teaching and the concert activity. He is currently Artist in Residence of the Musica Prospettiva festival.
