Panfili & Friends 1st Album

Dear backers!

As you can imagine the COVID-19 virus has brought a lot of challenges to our campaign. We have experienced big delays in our orders and this is why we haven’t been able to ship any of the packages yet.

We are celebrating every package which arrives and cannot wait to share it all with you.

Today our specially designed tote bags arrived which are part of the «Limited Fan Pack». -They are made of organic cotton, environmental friendly and very practical for shopping. They also have a nice message : «Music is Water» - in times like this, we feel music is as vital as water as it gives us comfort, peace of mind and inspiration to go through challenges of life.

We wish you all beautiful Easter and Passover holidays and we hope to soon come with better news for you!

Panfili&Friends

Our beautiful postcards arrived today! it’s very encouraging to know that the mail system still works in Austria and hopefully our deliveries will not be too delayed. Many positive thoughts and wishes of health from Panfili&Friends

Mission Accomplished! The Album is now ready and soon on it’s way to all of our backers! we are extremely happy about this achievement! Sorry it’s taking a little longer than planned - due to an issue with our last batch of CD’s we had to delay our planned deliveries. It should take longer than 3 weeks until all of you will hold the first «Panfili&Friends» album in their hands! Thank you again for making this happen!

We can’t wait to present our CD tomorrow in Vienna at the Accordion Festival. Leave a message if you would like to come and we will arrange some special ticket prices for all of our backers! Lorely Hall at 8pm! more information under : http://akkordeonfestival.at/Home/Programm-Detail/concert-id/59944

We are delighted to present to you our album design, created by Daniel Domig, a brilliant Austrian painter and graphic designer.

His concept was based on the natural elements, primarily water, which gives life to everything and nourishes creation. My friends and I, who are all from different places and backgrounds, are portrayed as blossomed flowers, juxtaposed in a traditional clay vase, an iconic Romanian picturesque motif.

We hope you like it!

Thank you to the 162 backers who made this possible!

We are proud to have achieved 111% of our goal and look forward to share our music with you!

All backers will receive an email soon with plenty of details and information!

Thank you again for making this possible!

Many hugs!

You are a violinist and would like to have a one on one lesson and coaching with Rusanda ? or maybe you play another instrument and are simply searching for inspiration and someone to guide you with ideas and tips? or maybe you would like to make a gift for someone by providing them with a violin lesson?

Same counts for the other music lessons with the Panfili&Friends members!

We are happy to share this video with you which was filmed and edited by Stefan Panfili during our recording days in Wavegarden Studio, Austria. «El Diablo Suelto con Pajarillo» is one of the tracks which will be on our album and comes from Venezuela, the home country of our pianist, Alfredo Ovalles. It is probably one of the most famous, traditional Venezuelan tunes, written by Heraclio Fernandez and first published in 1888. This arrangement was made by our friend Jorge Rojas. We hope you enjoy it! Thank you for supporting our project!

We are so happy and proud to have reached more than 50% of our goal in less than 2 weeks! Your support means a lot to us! Today we have been selected by WEMAKEIT to be in their «We fancy» category which means featured on the front page! We are thrilled about this news!

Thank you so much for supporting my first «Panfili&Friends» album! It means a lot to me to see how many of you already backed my project!

I wish you a Happy, prosperous, healthy New Year full of inspirational music and joyful moments!
