Porcia - International Competition "Città di Porcia"
The organization of the INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION “CITTA’ DI PORCIA”, which arrived at 32nd edition, is the boast and the pride of the Association Amici della Musica.
The Competition “Città di Porcia” is the only specific appointment for the brass instruments organized in Italy and it is one of the most important in the world.
There are few contests just for the brass (horn, trumpet, trombone and tuba) all over the world. It was created as a means to increase the value of the wind instruments and its aim is the comparison between musicians coming from different schools and musical traditions.
