la fisarmonica da concerto ed il suo repertorio - Paolo Picchio
Estreno de Concierto para Acordeón, Zagreb – Croacia

El 5 de Marzo, la Orquesta de Cámara croata bajo la dirección del Maestro Tomislav Facini interpretó, en el Concert Hall del Instituto Croata de la Música de Zagreb , un programa que incluyó el estreno del primer concierto para acordeón en la historia de la música croata, “Eshaton Concerto” para acordeón y orquesta del compositor Davor Bobic. El solista fue Miran Vaupotic de Croacia.

El acordeonista Miran Vaupotic, nacido en Zagreb en 1982, ha ganado varios concursos y ha ofrecido giras por el este y el oeste de Europa como solista.

“Eshaton” es una obra en tres movimientos, con un amplio desarrollo en la sección central, diseñada para mostrar las máximas posibilidades del acordeón de concierto. El nombre “Eshaton” tiene un origen bíblico ya que el tema del concierto es “la revelación de Juan”. El compositor Davor Bobic ha escrito cerca de 100 obras y es graduado en composición, teoría de la música y acordeón por el Conservatorio estatal P.I.Tchaikowsky de Kiev, Ucrania.

19th Annual Russian Festival, California - USA
Contributed by Jon Hammond

Jon Hammond writes: “The 19th annual Russian Festival took place in San Francisco from February 9th to 11th, including much really fantastic accordion music. I know that Limpopo played again and they have a fantastic accordionist, Yuri Fedorko (picture below), who dances the gopak while playing the accordion, it is amazing!”

The festival also featured Medovyi Spas, a vocal and instrumental ensemble directly from Moscow, who included a bayanist in their ensemble. Also appearing was Vladimir Riazantsev, a former principal dancer from the Moiseyev Dance Ensemble in Moscow, and a fine bayan player.

The Russian Festival presented 3 days of entertainment including Russian dancers, singers, and musicians in colorful and dynamic costumes. There was lots of Russian food and drink, and numerous vendors selling Russian arts and crafts, an incredible art exhibit and fun for the entire family. It was like being in Russia without leaving the Bay Area.

Accordéon et Accordéonistes March Edition - France
Contributed by Harley Jones

Last week, the Monthly National magazine Accordéon et Accordéonistes released their March issue. The review is almost entirely focussed upon women. The teaching section by Frédéric Deschamps presents to you innovations and different styles; for example the last arrangement of Jerome Richard especially arranged for the young New Zealand artist Grayson Masefield.

The composition by Astor Paizzola is also very celebrated – Adios Nonino. Equally celebrated but in a different style (using free bass) is the recent composition of Viatcheslav Semionov, his Caprice N°3 - Polar Lights performed in france by the accordionist Jean Ribeiro.

Yet a different style is a composition by Jérôme Richard, Frédéric Deschamps and the winner of the Variety category at the Coupe Mondiale 2004 Phil Bouvier entitled “Violons espagnols”.

Seminars under the direction of Frédéric Deschamps – France
Contributed by Harley Jones

Seminars were held from February 18th to 2nd March in Chevannes, a small town of Loiret. There were two seminars, both directed by Frédéric Deschamps.

Senior students, children, beginners and professionals, accordionists with buttons or piano keyboards, as well as bandoneonists participated since there is no division of our instrument since we all share the same passion: music.

When Frédéric is the organiser - there are never any social barriers or limitations whatever your level – since all levels have a place. All involved in these seminars evolves and move in perfect harmony.

Adults listen to the performances of the young virtuosos preparing the world competitions, the young dream to imitate their elders of Gonzales, Chabod, Blanchard, Vinckier, Belleville, Nortier, Buirette, Durafour, Sauvain, Dehier, Teppaz, Sanfaute, Ballandier, Legrand, Théault, Blocher, Bonnot, and all improve from listening to each other.

All these young artistes duly qualified at the CIA Coupe Mondiale qualifying festival which followed these seminars.

The next seminars conducted by Frédéric are to be held from the 7th – 12th and 16th - 21st April. Information and applications - Frederic Deschamps +33 6 17 85 38 19 or frederic.deschamps@wanadoo.fr
