Accordionist
Dazzles in Historic Memorial, Melbourne - Australia
Contributed

Melbourne
witnessed one of its rare concerts to feature the accordion in a
classical setting. Visually impaired accordionist, Bernadette
Conlon, performed two concertos with the Melbourne based string
orchestra, The Melbourne Musicians at the prestigious St. John's
Lutheran church at Southgate, one of Melbourne's most coveted performance
venues.
Bernadette performed New Zealand composer, Gary
Daverne's 'Concert
Waltz' for strings and accordion, which delighted the audience
with its sweeping Parisian style, as one newspaper critic put it.
She also performed Australia's first concerto for accordion and
orchestra, 'Concerto for Bernadette', which she commissioned nine
years ago, from Melbourne composer, Michael Easton, which work Bernadette
had previously recorded for the Naxos label. This performance was
a memorial to Michael, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in
London who died, aged 54, last year.
Bernadette was critically acclaimed in Melbourne's daily newspaper,
The Age, as an accordionist, who played with "agility and relish
in her work", and that the concerto "brought home again
Conlon's
enthusiasm and talent".
