Concorso Bottesini


È allo strumentista, compositore e direttore d’orchestra cremasco Giovanni Bottesini – il quale nell’Ottocento, con le sue geniali soluzioni tecniche, seppe far assurgere uno strumento “di spall

a” come il contrabbasso alla dignità di interprete solista – che si intitola il Concorso internazionale per contrabbassisti “Giovanni Bottesini”: una manifestazione musicale praticamente unica nel suo genere e, come dimostrato dalle sue diverse edizioni, seguita e apprezzata a livello mondiale. Ogni tre anni esso riunisce a Crema giovani ma già esperti esecutori delle più diverse nazionalità, desiderosi di sottoporsi al vaglio della giuria internazionale di virtuosi presieduta dal maestro Franco Petracchi. Il severo programma da predisporre e le rigorose prove selettive culminano nel concerto finale che, con la proclamazione dei vincitori e l’assegnazione dei premi, costituisce una vera e propria consacrazione ufficiale per gli addetti ai lavori. Accanto alle audizioni ufficiali (aperte al pubblico a partire dalla seconda prova), il concorso prevede generalmente anche delle manifestazioni collaterali dedicate a Giovanni Bottesini o allo strumento che lo rese celebre: concerti sinfonici e cameristici, pubblicazioni di musica inedita, esposizioni di strumenti antichi e moderni.
