This international platform welcomed participants from around the world at two major music events:

Filadelfia Festival – a touring concert series featuring vocal choirs and wind orchestras from Italy and abroad.

International Competition of the City of Filadelfia – Premio Paolo Serrao – a professional multi-instrumental competition named after the renowned musician from Filadelfia. In recent years, the competition has attracted hundreds of young musicians from more than 45 countries across five continents. It was held in the representative City Hall of Filadelfia and organized under the artistic direction of Tommaso Conidi, with the patronage of the association’s president, Francesco Conidi.

The Special Paolo Serrao Prize, amounting to €2000 and awarded with an official certificate, was ceremonially presented during the gala concert as a tribute to the legacy of this distinguished composer.

Additionally, for the string instrument section, the Olympus Musicus Concert Prize was awarded to a selected laureate, offering them the opportunity to perform at the Olympus Musicus / International Music Festival concert stage in Prague.

We looked forward to meeting young talents united by music across cultures and continents.
