“GIOVANI IN CRESCENDO” Music Competition – 3rd edition Pesaro, 18-19-20 April 2016 Orchestra Sinfonica G. Rossini with the support of Comune di Pesaro (Pesaro Municipality) announces the second edition of the music competition “Giovani in Crescendo”. Pesaro, washed by the Adriatic sea, with its culture, its ideal size, its lifestyle and its treasures has made hospitality its vocation. Pesaro has a flourishing tourist industry, based mainly on seaside holidays. A seven kilometres long beach surrounded by Monte San Bartolo National Park, bathing establishments with fine sand and shallow water, a harbour well connected to the opposite side of the Adriatic Sea make Pesaro an ideal place to relax. But Pesaro is also a historical centre with elegant streets, museums, churches, fortresses, ancient and modern libraries and interesting events all year round. With his music Gioachino Rossini brought international renown to the city of Pesaro. Tourists can take a pleasant stroll on the Rossini trail: his house, the Conservatory, the Theatre, the Foundation and Rossini Opera Festival Headquarters. His house is now a museum and has materials donated or willed, including prints, etchings, official portraits and music scores. The Conservatory of Music was set up with the funds he left to the city for that purpose and many world famous musicians and directors (Renata Tebaldi, Mario Del Monaco, Riz Ortolani, Pietro Mascagni, Amilcare Zanella, Riccardo Zandonai and Franco Alfano) studied there. The Theatre was named for Gioacchino Rossini on his death in 1855, but was inaugurated in 1637 as Teatro del Sole and renamed Teatro Nuovo in 1818 when Rossini conducted his opera La Gazza Ladra.
