Ежегодный мастер-класс AAA и серия концертов будут представлены онлайн - СШАby Christine Johnstone |
Американская ассоциация аккордеонистов (AAA) представит свой мастер-класс и концертную серию 2020 года с доктором Уильямом Шиммелем (фото справа), модератором и куратором с 31 июля по 2 августа 2020 года. Впервые это событие будет представлено онлайн и будет состоять из 2 часовых сегментов каждый день следующим образом: 1 час - 3 часа: мастер-класс - беседы / семинары 2-й час - 4 вечера: концерт / спектакли Скачать листовку: 2020AAAMasterClass.pdf Доктор Уильям Шиммель, один из главных архитекторов возрождения аккордеона, имеет степень бакалавра музыки, магистра наук и доктора музыкальных искусств по композиции в Джульярдской школе. Музыка Шиммеля была показана во многих телевизионных шоу и фильмах, возможно, наиболее заметно «Запах женщины» в главной роли Аль Пачино, где Шиммель появляется в знаменитой сцене танго. Шиммель исполняет музыку во многих жанрах, заказал и выпустил сотни новых произведений, написал несколько книг и статей, сделал множество записей и видео. Он служил и продолжает работать в качестве художника в резиденции Американской ассоциации аккордеонистов (AAA), где он также является заслуженным лектором в резиденции и членом Совета управляющих. Семинары были привезены в ААА доктором Уильямом Шиммелем с идеей представления всех аспектов аккордеона Нью-Йоркскому художественному сообществу с целью найти способы найти новые углы выражения, композиции, видеоарта, исполнения, танца , дизайн, трапеция, а также новые взгляды на старые идеи и вывод аккордеонного происхождения в новый новый свет. Реакция была важна в создании аккордеонной культуры в Нью-Йорке, и ее влияние стало международным. Скачать листовку: 2020AAAMasterClass.pdf |
Дни Карантина и Музыки с Марко Ло Руссо - Италияby Rob Howard |
Мысли Марко Ло Руссо обращаются к многочисленным жертвам коронавируса и к утешению тех, кто не мог даже попрощаться со своими близкими. Он говорит, что «мало говорится о трудностях, с которыми сталкивается сектор искусства, музыки и живых развлечений, который, будучи объединяющим видом деятельности, будет последним, который начнется снова, с легко мыслимыми последствиями». Так, Ло Руссо предоставил возможность бесплатного прослушивания более ста песен своего музыкального произведения на своем канале soundcloud, и в частности для детей, 11 глав, составляющих музыкальную сказку «Fata Concetta» на итальянском языке. Марко Ло Руссо - преподаватель оркестровки, джазовой аранжировки и аккордеона. Он также работает над саундтреком к двум фильмам, один из которых международный.

Emergency Accordion Stoop Extravaganza in Brooklyn - USAby Christine Johnstone |
Video above shows Paul Stein playing and talking about his venture. Accordionist Paul Stein (pictured below) was in Covid-19 lockdown and wanted to do something to cheer up his neighbourhood. So….he took out his accordion and played. Each evening at 7pm he plays on the steps leading up to his building (his stoop) and he says “The natural acoustics of the narrow street bring the music to my neighbours.” To his surprise The Associated Press (one of the largest news-gathering organizations in the world), sent two top photojournalists to cover his accordion concerts. The concerts help to raise people’s spirits, encourage staying at home and social distancing, and applaud the healthcare and other essential workers who are risking their lives to protect and support the rest of us. The AP story was published this week by over 200 news outlets throughout the United States, from large national media like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today to local newspapers and TV stations in small towns and cities in all parts of the country. The story was also picked up by news outlets in Australia, Canada, Croatia, England, Lebanon, Roumania, South Africa, Taiwan, and United Arab Emirates. |
Cancelled: ATG 80th Anniversary Festival in Los Angeles - USAby Heather Masefield Secretary, New Zealand Accordion Association |
Accordionists & Teachers Guild, International (ATG) President Joseph Natoli announced this week: “I regretfully must communicate a message to you that I had hoped would not become a reality. However in spite of intense planning and never giving up hope that our spectacular 80th Anniversary Festival would still take place in Los Angeles this year from August 5th to 9th, the unfortunate downward pressures from around the globe are mandating that we cancel this wonderful event. With the decidedly international nature of our Festival this year, there are many groups and attendees who had planned to come and participate, but simply cannot for a variety of reasons because of Covid-19..... which collectively will make it impossible for our Los Angeles Festival to occur as anticipated. Therefore, in spite of great sadness in our hearts over this cancellation, there is an equal amount of hope and positive anticipation that you will join us next year at the Hyatt in the Lisle, Illinois area again for what we hope to be a recovery from this unfortunate year of the virus; with renewed best wishes for your safety, wellness, and bringing all our musical lives back to normal from July 20th to 25th, 2021. Please plan on being with us to make this a very special celebration of our collective recoveries and victory over the events of 2020”. |
