Alongside the Ettore Pozzoli International Piano Competition, an event reserved for young pianists under the age of 18 is proposed. Now in its sixth edition, the competition (originally called “il Pozzolino”) is now dedicated to the memory of Elsa Pozzoli, daughter of maestro Ettore.

The final phase of the VI Edition of the “Tribute to Elsa Pozzoli” Competition will take place in Seregno on 26 and 27 September 2024. A pre-selection in “remote” mode is foreseen: three competitors will be admitted to the final round for each of the four categories in which the Competition is divided.
