Sotto la sua leadership l'orchestra è cresciuta in continuazione al servizio della comunità di Johannesburg, e conta oggi 40 elementi a tempo pieno.

Mika Väyrynen darà una Prima Mondiale, Kokkola - Finlandia
Contributed by Kevin Friedrich

Il fisarmonicista finlandese Mika Väyrynen darà la Prima Mondiale della nuova composizione, un quintetto per fisarmonica ed archi, del compositore finlandese Matti Murto, in occasione del 10° Kokkola Winter Accordion Festival. Il concerto, dal titolo 'Transitions', avrà luogo il 19 Febbraio al Central Ostrobothnian Conservatory di Kokkola alle 19:00. Il concerto offrirà anche 'Quattro differenti immagini sulla Musica Contemporanea' di Murto, oltre a composizioni di Ginastera, Pärt, e Reich.

Nato nel 1947 a Tampere, Matti Murto si è laureato all'Accademia della Musica Sibelius con un diploma in teoria musicale. Membro della Finnish Composers Society, Matti ha anche studiato Musicologia all'Università di Helsinki.

L'annuale Kokkola Winter Accordion Festival si tiene dal 16 al 24 Febbraio ed abbraccia un'ampia varietà di generi e strumenti musicali, dal classico al folk, dall'armonica al bandoneon, filmati con colonne sonore dove la fisarmonica è protagonista, composizioni moderne ed evergreen, musica sacra e hard rock. Concerti, balli ed eventi all'aperto sono tutti aspetti chiave del festival.

Gli appuntamenti di quest'anno includono anche i fisarmonicisti finlandesi Markus Luomala, Teija Niku e Antti Purola, lo svedese Anders Larsson, il bandoneonista norvegese Per Arne Glorvigen e gli 'Young virtuosos' da Ostrobothnia.

Il festival offre anche l'invito a partecipare alla realizzazione di una grande fisarmonica scolpita nella neve per l'inserimento nel Libro del Guinness dei Primati.

Coba Performs at Kennedy Center, Washington DC - USA
Contributed by Kevin Friedrich

Renowned Japanese accordionist Yasuhiro 'Coba' Kobayashim performed on a special concert 'A Tribute to Toru Takemitsu' at the famed Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. Currated by his daughter Maki Takemitsu, the concert featured Kazumi Watanabe and Daisuke Suzuki on guitar, Coba on accordion, and Tomohiro Yahiro on percussion.
One of Japan's most famous and celebrated composers, Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996) broke new ground by exploring principles of western classical music and his native Japanese tradition. Largely self-taught, he experienced a stroke of luck in the 1950s when Igor Stravinsky heard his work by accident, greatly admired it, and helped bring him international attention. Influenced by French music, particularly that of Debussy and Messiaen, some of Takemitsu's most well known compositions encompasses jazz and film music.

With his extremely unique, pop, accordion music, Coba has helped revolutionize the image of the accordion. In 1995, the Icelandic singer Bjork saw his concert performance in London and was instantly attracted to his music. Immediately after the performance, he was asked to join her on a world tour, which lasted three years and covered more than 60 countries reaching more than 3 million people.

Coba produces music for more than 10 regular nationwide TV and radio programs. In addition to releasing his 29th CD, he is also engaged in a variety of activities ranging from producing projects for various other artistes to producing film music, which makes this popular accordionist one of the busiest composers, performers and producers in Japan.

'Two Accordions with Attitude', Staten Island - USA
Contributed by Rob Howard

The Center for the Arts at the College of Staten Island, 2800 Victory Blvd., Staten Island, NY 10314, is presenting the event, 'Two Accordions with Attitude', featuring accordionists Guy Klucevsek and Alan Bern, on Saturday, February 23rd at 8pm.

On stage Guy Klucevsek and Bern create an international tour-of-the-senses with their soul-stirring gypsy melodies, riotous klezmer, and exotic arabesque airs.

Combined with their interpretive jazz, deep blues, and innovative new world sounds, they move around the continents and through time, playing songs with ancient melodies as well as startlingly fresh 21st century compositions.

Stephen Eddis from allmusicguide.com says, "The number of classical accordion virtuosos is small, but Guy Klucevsek and Alan Bern are among its brightest lights."

Thierry Benetoux is publishing a new book 'Sounding Out The Accordion'. This book will be available at the end of March and can be ordered in advance at a special price on the internet. The book, about sound diversity in the accordion, is such that many accordionists wish to explore the potential of their instruments to the full. This book, with its DVD, offers an opportunity to explore the varieties of sounds in various instruments. This incredible diversity is little known by the general public and even to some musicians.
