Prima Assoluta Mondiale, Vilnius - Lituania
Contributed by Holda Paoletti-Kampl

Il 27 Ottobre alla Lithuanian Philharmonic Concert Hall, durante il più grande festival di musica contemporanea della Lituania ’Gaida 2007’, il fisarmonicista Raimondas Sviackevicius suonerà la Prima di ‘Promise’, un ampio lavoro sinfonico del famoso compositore Lituano Feliksas Bajoras. ‘Promise’ è un concerto per fisarmonica e orchestra sinfonica. Raimondas Sviackevicius suonerà insieme all‘Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale Lituana, diretta da Robertas Servenikas.

‘‘Promise’ è la prime opera Lituana per fisarmonica e orchestra sinfonica, da qui la grande importanza dell‘evento.

Nel 2006 Raimondas ha dato invece la Prima del Primo Concerto per fisarmonica e orchestra da camera di Zibuokle Martinaityte, dal titolo ‘Breakthrough’.

Una Nuova Sala Della Musica al Dargaville Museum per la ‘Accordion Gem Exhibition’ – Nuova Zelanda
Contributed by Heather Masefield

Il Dargaville Museum Lighthouse Function Center si è riempito di autorità e appassionati il 21 Ottobre in occasione dell’apertura delle nuova Sala della Musica, l’ultima aggiunta al Dargaville Museum che si trova sopra al Mt. Wesley, a Harding Park, Dargaville.

Il Sindaco di Dargaville Neil Tiller, il presidente del Museo Don Elliot, Il presidente della CIA Kevin Friedrich ed altre autorità sono intervenuti direttamente, e molte lettere di congratulazioni sono state lette da Accordions Worldwide e dalla New Zealand Accordion Association (NZAA) prima che gli ospiti ed il pubblico intervenuti fossero condotti all’interno del Museo nella nuova ala della musica dove Kevin Friedrich ha tagliato il nastro simbolico per l’apertura ufficiale della sala.

E’ stata poi pronunciata una benedizione Maori, ed infine gli ospiti hanno riempito la stanza per ammirare la collezione, inclusi i 90 pezzi di Kevin Friedrich ‘Accordion Gems’ – una Collezione di Fisarmoniche Attraverso il Tempo -, che saranno l’esposizione di base. Oltre agli strumenti, la collezione conta anche 300 statuette in tema fisarmonicistico e manoscritti originali.
Alla conclusione della cerimonia del taglio del nastro, ha avuto luogo un concerto del Starlight Duo di Auckland (Maurice Jones e Lionel Reekie), della Tamburica Orchestra di Dargaville, della West Highland Pipe Band di Dargaville, del Coro Kauri Chorus e del fisarmonicista Kevin Friedrich che ha suonato un programma composto da brani di molti periodi diversi chiamato 'Old Accordion's Tales' prima di dirigere una jam session aperta.

Piccola comunità rurale di sole 4.000 persone, Dargaville era una volta la sede di sei orchestre di fisarmoniche sparse tra un considerevole numero di auditori fisarmonicistici.

Molte fotografie e ricordi che mostrano la ricca eredità musicale della zona sono esposte nella nuova ala, inclusi 30 speciali strumenti storici provenienti da Puhoi, Nuova Zelanda, un piccolo insediamento Boemo a nord di Auckland, dove i coloni hanno perpetuato la tradizione della fisarmonica folk della loro terra d’origine, da dove la prima barca li ha portati più di un secolo e mezzo fa.

La collezione Accordion Gems è considerata l’unica esposizione di fisarmoniche dell’emisfero Boreale, e continuerà a crescere con la disponibilità di nuovi pezzi.

Contributed by Raymond Bodell

Il Trofeo Mondiale CMA avrà luogo per la prima volta in Russia, dal 5 al 9 Novembre nella città di Samara. Il presidente della CMA Frédéric Deschamps dichiara che “Samara è indiscutibilmante uno dei templi della fisarmonica, grazie al talento e all’energia dell’organizzatore Sergeï Voitenko, che per mezzo di Alla Kaz, durante il Congresso Internazionale della CMA 2006 a Kragujevac (Serbia), ha annuciato l’invito ai membri della CMA per l’evento del 2007”. Samara, la sesta tra le più grandi città della Russia, si trova nel Distretto Federale del Volga nella parte a Sud-Est della Russia europea.

Con 35 iscritti nelle 4 categorie proveniente da numerosi Paesi come Francia, Russia, Portogallo, Serbia, Croazia and Nuova Zelanda, sarà un grande evento internazionale.
