BBC Music Magazine Award for ACCENTUS Music production

European Festivals Association EFA Supports Launch of African Festival Association

The ACCENTUS Music production of Claudio Abbado and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra performing Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 has won a 2012 BBC Music Magazine Award in the Best DVD Performance category.

The concert was recorded live at the Lucerne Festival in August 2010.

This year was the first time that the DVD category was decided by the public vote, reflecting the increased popularity of the classical music DVD market.

ACCENTUS Music’s production is the first ever concert DVD to have achieved this accolade; the award having previously been awarded to operatic DVDs.

On 19 – 21 April, the African Festival Association AFRIFESTNET was officially launched in Accra, the capital of Ghana. 60 representatives of 37 music, dance, theatre, film, visual arts, street arts, literature and heritage festivals from 18 countries across the continent attended the 3-days gathering, supported by the British Council. By the end of the launch event, AFRIFESTNET had 155 registered members.

EFA Secretary General Kathrin Deventer witnessed the constitution of the new association, and its mission, membership, leadership and secretariat were presented. All festival delegates agreed on the need and urgency of such a continental network, and committed to bring AFRIFESTNET to life and to engage in partnerships with European festivals. Thus, EFA and its member festivals such as the Ravenna Festival, BOZAR Festival!, Vilnius Festival and International Festival Wratislavia Cantans already engage in or prepare collaboration projects.
