Lars Dyremose (born Lars Bjarne) by 1948, at 16 years of age, was playing the accordion professionally in restaurants, impressing diners with his virtuoso performances.
In 1952 and 1953, Lars Bjarne (as he was then) won the Danish Accordion Championships. In 1953, the first prize was one month's stay as a visiting student at the world's then only state school of music offering accordion instruction: the Hohner School of Music in Trossingen, Württemberg, Germany. Lars arrived, was completely overwhelmed by the experience, and in the autumn of 1953 enrolled as a regular student at the school.
In 1956, Lars graduated from Trossingen as an accordion teacher, and the following year also graduated as a solo performer.
Well known Danish accordion teacher Lars Dyremose has passed away. Further information.

Auckland singer Indira Moala, also known as an accordionist, is now one of two finalists in the NZ Idol competition. The winner will be announced in the next week.
On October 15th she featured the accordion in her TV interview again and her sister said that she first began singing at accordion competition classes that featured accordion and vocals and showed clips of her doing this.

Más de 30.000 personas, con promedios de 2.000 a 5.000 asistentes en cada una de las 12 ciudades en donde Los Reyes Vallenatos han ofrecido su espectáculo, han disfrutado de la música del Caribe Colombiano en la voz del cantante Carlos Mario Zabaleta y los acordeones de Ciro Meza Reales y Juan José Granados Córdoba.
Al sentirse identificados con estos ritmos festivos que les recuerdan los bailes de sala, mexicanos de todos los niveles se han congregado en auditorios, teatros, coliseos, plazas, parques, explanadas y jardines no solo para escuchar las narraciones contenidas en el canto vallenato, sino también para bailar sus melodías que se acompañan con caja, guacharaca, congas, guitarra y bajo al son del acordeón diatónico.
Ni la lluvia de considerable intensidad hizo que el público reunido anoche en la Plaza Valladolid de Morelia abandonase su deseo de escuchar “La gota fría”, “Honda herida”, “Alicia Adorada”, “La pollera colorá” y las otras canciones del repertorio de Los Reyes Vallenatos en este 34º Festival Internacional Cervantino, donde mañana estaremos en su sede principal, Guanajuato. En la fotografía adjunta aspecto de este quinto y último concierto del Estado de Michoacán.
La Plaza Valladolid de Morelia está ubicada en el pleno Corazón Histórico de la ciudad. Sus edificaciones que se levantan a lado y lado de la Avenida Madero (la principal arteria de la ciudad), su Catedral e innumerables iglesias, la Casa de Gobierno, el Palacio Clavijero, el Teatro Ocampo, el Conservatorio de las Rosas y sus Museos, nos hacen sentir en el siglo XVI. La huella de su arquitectura se conserva en pleno esplendor. Con un total de 1.113 Monumentos Históricos, Morelia fue catalogada en 1991 como parte del Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.

Richard Galliano and Ivan Paduart Jazz Concert, Brussels – Belgium
Richard Galliano – accordion, and Ivan Paduart – piano, perform together at the Centre Culturel d'Etterbeek ASBL in Brussels on October 20th, at 8.30pm. Galliano and Paduart are performers and composers who are held in equally high esteem by their contemporaries.
Richard Galliano changed the direction of the accordion while ridding the instrument of its dusty image. He has performed at such prestigious venues as La Scala in Milan as well as in major jazz festivals such as Montreal, and has played with musicians such as Charles Aznavour, Chet Baker and Toots Thielemans. Astor Piazzolla, the great innovator introduced New Tango that took the genre back to its roots. By analogy to the ‘Nuevo Tango’ of Piazzolla, Galliano created what has been called the ‘New Accordion Music’. The mixture of jazz, tango and ‘new’ accordion music became the individual style brand of Galliano.
