2011 Coupe Mondiale in Shanghai bisher zahlreichste Wettbewerbsteilnahm - Chinaby Harley Jones |
  Mit ungefähr 170 Teilnehmern für den 2011 Coupe Mondiale Wettbewerb in Shanghai China, übersteigt diese Anmeldezahl um fast 50 Anmeldungen die bisherigen Daten.Diese zusätzlichen Anmeldungen sind sicherlich auf die erheblichen Unterstützungen, wie Verpflegung und Unterkunft für die 50 nationalen Teilnehmer des chinesischen Gastgebers zurückzuführen, die von der Akkordeon-Vereinigung der chinesischen Musiker Association (CAA) und der Shanghai Musicians Association zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Der Coupe Mondiale wurde im Jahre 1938 ins Leben gerufen und am 1970 gab es nur eine Kategorie (Coupe Mondiale), die normalerweise im Durchschnitt etwa 17 bis 20 nationale Teilnehmer hatte. Erst im Jahr 1974 wurde die Virtuoso Entertainment Kategorie zur Probe angesetzt, die als eine zusätzliche Kategorie betrachtet wurde und erst 1989 wurde die Virtuoso Entertainment Kategorie in das Programm aufgenommen. Ab 1996 gibt es die Junior Coupe Mondiale Kategorie (bis 18 Jahre), seit 2000 die Junior Virtuoso Entertainment (bis 18 Jahre), seit 2001 die Piano Akkordeon Kategorie, seit 2002 die Chamber Music Kategorie und ab dem Jahre 2009 die Digital Akkordeon Kategorie. Heute ist der Coupe Mondiale ein Groß-Ereignis und Schaufenster zur Durchführung von unterschiedlichster Akkordeon Musik. Akkordeon Weltweit gratuliert dem chinesischen Gastgeber, geleitet vom CAA-Präsident Prof. führte Li Cong (Bild rechts) für diesen großartigen Erfolg von mehr als 170 Teilnehmern. Die 2011 Coupe Mondaile Wettbewerbe versprechen sicherlich eine sehr spannende Veranstaltung zu werden. |

 The Accordions Worldwide news for August 29th 1997 included a report by the still very active Betty Jo Simon, telling of her tour of Texas, entertaining whilst also demonstrating on MIDI accordion – then still a comparative novelty. TEXAS ACCORDION TOUR Contributed by Betty Jo Simon Betty Jo Simon's Texas accordion tour saw her playing to six clubs in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Longview, Austin, San Antonio, & Houston along with German & Czech restaurants in between. The theme of the program was ‘Around the World with the MIDI Accordion’. Betty Jo said, "I played a lot of international tunes along with some classical numbers like ‘Bolero’, ‘Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2’, and ‘Dance of the Comedians’. I also did a demonstration of the MIDI accordion so people could understand where I was getting all those sampled sounds. Everyone was amazed at the full orchestral sound that it emitted”. Betty Jo Simon also did a 30 minute radio interview with John Aeili in Austin. He was also amazed at the MIDI Accordion. The Longview newspaper did a feature on the Accordion club there and put a 10 inch color picture of Betty Jo on the front page of their Lifestyles section. 3 CD's by Betty Jo Simon available online. |
