Rino Galassi (1928 a 2022), Castelfidardo - Italiaby AWW |

 Imagen superior: Fotografía tomada en 2018 cuando Rino Galassi y su esposa Vanda seguían trabajando a diario en la fábrica. En la foto con su hijo Renzo.Rino Galassi (28 de septiembre de 1928 - 09 de noviembre de 2022) ha fallecido a la edad de 94 años. Comenzó la producción de fuelles poco después del final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en 1948, cuando tenía 20 años. Quería abrir su propio negocio trabajando como artesano en la construcción de acordeones. En aquella época, era mucho más fácil crear un negocio propio. Así que empezó a aprender la fabricación de fuelles para acordeones. Como vivía en Osimo Stazione, donde había dos fábricas de fuelles cerca, tenía fácil acceso. Estos productores eran como la mayoría de los productores de entonces, que trabajaban en el piso inferior de la casa, con la familia viviendo arriba. La casa era el lugar de producción, lo que significaba "estar siempre listo para trabajar, cuando se necesitara". Rino creó un área de trabajo y, al cabo de seis meses, se atrevió a desafiar al mundo con su propia producción de fuelles. Rino transmitió todos sus conocimientos a su esposa Vanda y a sus dos hijos Renzo y Reno. El pésame de Accordions Worldwide a toda la familia Galassi. "Conoce a la gente" Entrevista en: 2017Galassi con: Renzo Galassi (Propietario) |

 On November 26th, the HotScotch Ceilidh Band (pictured above) led by accordionist Paul Chamberlain (picture left) performed at the Ross Bandstand in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens for an outdoor family ceilidh as part of the launch of Edinburgh’s Christmas Festival. Paul has just recently been able to return to performing after a successful heart transplant at the end of January 2022 following several years on the organ transplant waiting list and now is looking forward to resuming his varied performance schedule both as a soloist and in a number of ensembles. On January 12th, 2023, Paul will play with The Scottish Tango Ensemble (picture below) at the Kings Pavilion in Aberdeen for a concert organised by the Aberdeen University Music Department. The Scottish Tango Ensemble, which features Paul Chamberlain (accordion), Gemma O’Keefe (violin), Gregor Blamey (piano) and Tom Berry (double bass), will perform a programme featuring a mixture of traditional salon tangos, the music of Astor Piazzolla, as well as the group’s own arrangements of more modern artists. |

 The latest updated and expanded article was originally published in 2004 as part of my annual series discussing AAA music commissions carried out by Elsie Bennet, beginning in 1957 with Paul Creston’s Prelude and Dance. It examines the fifteenth and sixteenth commissions, Aria, Scherzo, and Finale, for accordion and orchestra (1961), by Louis B. Gordon, and Night Music, for accordion and string quartet (1964), by David Diamond. (Direct link: http://www.ameraccord.com/aaacommissions9.php )On the AAA website at http://www.ameraccord.com/aaacommissions2.php you may view both a pdf of the original print version (click on “pdf”) and its updated, expanded webpage version. The updated webpage article provides deeper analytical information than the original print version, greatly aided by the new addition of musical examples. Since no recording has yet been found of the Gordon composition, electronically produced sound samples of the musical excerpts are offered instead. This aural feature will continue to be employed in future updated articles where no recording is available. |

| The Lilburn Lecture 2022 was recorded by Radio New Zealand (RNZ) on November 2nd, 2022 (the anniversary of Douglas Lilburn’s birth) at the Tiakiwai Conference Centre, National Library of New Zealand in Wellington, New Zealand. The event was hosted by the Lilburn Trust and the Alexander Turnbull Library. RNZ featured the following report on the event: For the ninth annual Lilburn Lecture, composer and Arts Laureate Ross Harris dove deep into his own musical past, sharing colourful snapshots from his life and career. He called his lecture The Endless Search for the Next Note: An Outline of a Composing Life from an Unlikely Beginning to an Unlikely Present. From a 'salt of the earth' family with little interest in arts or culture, Ross emerged as a largely self-taught composer. He talks about his early childhood obsession with sound, learning by example from Lilburn in the 1970s as he listened to him wrestle sounds out of the primitive equipment in the Victoria University Electronic Music Studio, collaborating with writers Witi Ihimaera and Vincent O’Sullivan (who gives the Vote of Thanks at the end of Ross's lecture), tackling symphonies - seven so far, the freedom of composing and performing Klezmer music, and much more. Ross illustrates his stories with a generous selection of musical excerpts from all throughout his career. Ross Harris (pictured above) is a member of the popular group The Kugels, who performed at the event. |
