June 10th – Milan, Palazzo Serbelloni:
Salvatore Accardo has been awarded the Kennedy Center Gold Medal in the Arts by Deborah Rutter, President of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and by the Kennedy Center International Committee on the Arts during a ceremony in Milan in the beautiful halls of the Serbelloni Palace.
The Gold Medal in the Arts is given to artists who stand out in their artistic field whose talent and experience have left an indelible mark in the international art world.
Salvatore Accardo receiving the prize has entertained the audience, largely composed by American Kennedy Center supporters, with stories about his long career and his several tournées in the United States.
