Anzellotti Teodoro_ta_180118_0066 Teodoro Anzellotti, one of the world's leading accordionists, made a significant contribution to the integration of the accordion into classical music, especially into new music. More than 300 works written for him, including Luciano Berio Sequenza XIII. Professorship at the Musikhochschule Freiburg.
Nicolas Hodges, born in London, professor at the Musikhochschule Stuttgart. Active worldwide and well known as an interpreter of contemporary music. Many works written for him, many world premieres. "Hodges is a refreshing artist; he plays the classics as if they were written yesterday, and what was written yesterday as if it were already a classic."
