Special Awards Presented at the Farewell DinnerSamantha Rutherford Memorial Trophy - Anglea ChenThis award was created in 1999 in memory of Samantha Rutherford, who passed away in 1997 aged 16 years. Samantha was a promising and talented accordionist who often chose music as the most important thing in her life. This award represents her ambition, determination, courage and drive to be excellent. It also represents her love of life, and determination to make the most of each minute. The purpose of the award is to encourage young accordionists to achieve, as well as to inspire them to always aim high in their endeavour’s, as Samantha did.The Cecil Smith Trophy - North Shore Music Makers Orchestra conducted by Christine JohnstoneThis trophy is being awarded for a performance during this weekend (not necessarily a winning performance) that in some special way impresses the audience. Cecil Smith was born in New Plymouth and lived all his life there. Cecil played the cornet, piano, double bass and accordion amongst other instruments, but the accordion was his favourite instrument. In the last ten years of his life, Cecil played at old folk's homes and hospitals, giving pleasure to many thousands of people with his music. The accordion was his main pleasure in later years and he played right up to the time that he passed away. He left his accordion to his grand niece Nicole Phillips and this trophy was donated by his family who wanted to recognise his kindness and generosity and to put a little back into the musical pursuit that Cecil Smith so much enjoyed.Cocurullo Family Trophy - To be announcedThis annual trophy has been donated by the Cocurullo Family of Dargaville as a non-musicianship award for services to music. The Cocurullo Family have been prominent in accordion affairs in Northland for many years and the purpose of this trophy is to recognise the important contribution of many non-musicians who support this event, working behind the scenes, to make this event possible.Doreen And Ben Emmett Memorial Rosebowl - Catrina LinThis trophy is awarded for an outstanding classical performance for the weekend.Emmett Family Classical Ensemble Trophy - Accordion to Bach.This trophy is awarded for a classical ensemble performance of distinction.Ben Emmett Accordion Orchestra Commendation Trophy - Notable Soundz, players Dan Robinson, Martin Meyer, Chanelle Carron, Brad Williams, Tamba Carleton, Ellie Archer.This trophy is awarded for a highly commendable performance by an accordion orchestra. The above trophies have been donated by the two daughters of Ben and Doreen Emmett in memory of the important contribution they made to the development of the accordion in the Dargaville area from the 1950’s until their deaths in 1976 and 1990 respectively. They taught many pupils, their most famous pupil being Kevin Friedrich. |
