The Elba Music Awards is a musical event that includes several free concerts in the squares of the largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago. The kermesse is managed by the social promotion association H-demia di musica and ProMusicItalia, under the artistic direction of the Tuscan singer Stefano Picchi, who has one goal: to launch the island into the circuit of international pop music awards.
With the brand “The Great Tribute Show“, the concerts feature international artists on a world tour who play great music stars pieces.
In this case, there are six Festivals, one for each participating island municipality, which is best represented by the graphics, colors and stylistic choice of the promotional material. The municipal representatives collaborate with the artistic direction in the realization of the schedule.
To enjoy one or more shows with covers of big stars on the island territory called Aithàle by the Greeks, there are ferry trips to Elba, which cross the Piombino canal starting from the port city of the same name in the province of Livorno.
The program of the Elba Music Awards 2023
On the occasion of the launch of the Elba Music Awards 2023, an avatar was created depicting the industrious Elba Ape of Napoleonic memory who, having descended from the flag, plays the king of rock’n roll Elvis Presley, giving life to Ape-Elvis. On the flag of the island of Elba, used during the period in which Napoleon Bonaparte was sovereign of the territory (from 1814 to 1815), in fact, three golden bees are depicted.
The official press conference is scheduled for Friday 7 July: the Mayors and their councilors of reference will be rewarded with a work for participating in the event.
A total of fifteen concerts are scheduled in six of the seven municipalities of the island (Portoferraio, Campo nell’Elba, Capoliveri, Marciana, Marciana Marina and Porto Azzurro).
