 Das Wiener Akkordeon-Kammer-Ensemble (WAKE – Ensamble de la Cámara de Acordeón de Viena), dirigido por Werner Weibert (foto a la izquierda), celebró su concierto anual del festival, que esta vez fue el concierto WAKE 50th Aniversario en la concurrida sala de conciertos del Castillo de Perchtoldsdorf, cerca de Viena, el viernes 17 de noviembre. El programa incluyó obras de Janácek, Mozart, Würthner, Schubert, Bernstein, Gershwin, Piazzolla, Strauß y Miller & Jackson. Como de costumbre, el concierto se cerró con algunas canciones famosas como "That cat is high", "New York" y "Gern Hobn", muy aclamadas por el público. Werner Weibert como director artístico y organizador de WAKE recibió el galardón de honor en oro del alcalde de Perchtoldsdorf, Sylvia Zobek: una insignia de plata y una de bronce para los demás miembros del grupo, Margarete Gebauer, Elisabeth Weibert, Walter Dietz y Christian Höller , Günther Zobek y Anton Barinka. Fundado en 1967 por el profesor Walter Maurer (1975-2006 Secretario General de la CIA Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes), que el grupo se ha mantenido prácticamente unido. Uno de los secretos de este éxito duradero es la consistencia. Este evento realmente único también presentó la oportunidad de reunirse nuevamente con antiguos miembros de WAKE para disfrutar de la música juntos en el escenario.

 As we near the holidays and prepare for the 80th anniversary celebration of the AAA, I find myself reflecting on the immense changes that the accordion has witnessed in our country through the decades. Many of those changes affected the accordion and its popularity, yet some things have remained the same through the 80 years. Each month in 2018, I will write an article sharing lesser known stories and amazing journeys of the AAA, the accordion itself, the players, the music, and the list goes on. We hope to see all of you in Alexandria, Virginia, July 11-15, 2018, when the AAA celebrates this exciting milestone!! |

"La Vita Delle Cose (The Life of Things): Things do not have life. But things tell of life by their existence and through this they acquire it. Five moments built with solutions that combine the composer's jazz, world and classical experiences and which need the sonority of the solo accordion also called upon to improvise. The flow of life is symbolised by a march increasingly rich in melodic-rhythmic events (things), up to the final climax."
