Concerts cciMB 2021 winner Georgi Dimitrov Featured

This month we present two cciMB 2021 winners’ concerts by Bulgarian guitarist Georgi Dimitrov: on 13 February at the famous Stadtcasino in Basel, Switzerland (Rising Stars series organized by the Allgemeine Musikgesellschaft Basel) and on 19 February at the Rocca di Dozza, near Bologna, Italy (organized by the Association Conoscere la Musica). Postponed from 2020 due to the COVID pandemic, the 5th International Guitar Competition Maurizio Biasini – cciMB took place from 27 September to 2 October 2021 in Bologna, Italy, celebrating its 10 years anniversary with a rich concert program. In the sold-out Teatro Comunale di Bologna, accompanied by its Orchestra of the Scuola dell'Opera, the then only 20-years-old Dimitrov brilliantly performed the Concerto No. 1 in Re by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco in the final round, earning him the first prize, while Luka Lovreković from Croatia won the second prize and Agustín Nazzetta from Argentina the third. Dimitrov was also awarded the NIER special prize for best performance of the cciMB 2021 commissioned composition Corren los Soles by Alex Nante.
