Weltakkordeon Tag auf der Facebook Streaming Platformby Harley Jones |
 |
  Die CIA freut sich, Sie zum Weltakkordeontag (WAD) auf der offiziellen Coupe Mondiale Facebook-Streaming-Plattform begrüßen zu dürfen.Seit 2009 fördert die CIA jeden 6. Mai den Weltakkordeontag. Der erste WAD fand am 6. Mai 2009 anlässlich des 180. Geburtstages des Akkordeons statt - am 6. Mai 1829, dem Datum, an dem das Akkordeon von Cyrillius Demien in Wien zum ersten Mal patentiert wurde. Für 2020, da so viele Menschen der Aufenthalt auf ihre Häuser beschränkt ist, veranstaltet die CIA eine 12-stündige WAD-Show auf dem Facebook-Streaming des Coupe Mondiales. Alle Aufnahmen, Interviews und Performances werden auch auf der Webseite des Weltakkordeon-Tages sowie auf dem Server des Weltakkordeon-Tages in China und auf lokalen China-Plattformen veröffentlicht werden. Die Moderatoren der Show sind der ehemalige CIA-Präsident und derzeitige CIA-Botschafter Kevin Friedrich (USA) und der stellvertretende Vorsitzende des CIA-Musikausschusses, Grayson Masefield, mit technischer Unterstützung von CIA-PR-Mitarbeitern Harley Jones und Mitarbeitern von Accordions Wordwide. Die Sendezeiten werden in den nächsten Tagen hier und auf der WAD-Website veröffentlicht. |

Fund Raiser Pop-Up-Konzert in SaddleBrooke während Covid-19 Lockdown - USAby Christine Johnstone |

 Shirley und James P. O'Brien (Bild links) leben in einer Altersvorsorge nördlich von Tucson, Arizona. Obwohl es in dieser Golfgemeinde über 5000 Häuser gibt, gab es aufgrund der jüngsten Sperrung durch die COVID-19-Pandemie in der Region wenig Aktivität.Die O'Brien's entschieden, dass es Zeit für eine Veranstaltung war, die eine gewisse Interaktion zwischen den Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft ermöglichen würde, um sie aus ihrer Selbstisolation herauszuholen und gleichzeitig die vorgeschriebenen „6 Fuß“ sozialer Distanzierung beizubehalten. Die O'Brien's wurden vor dem Haus eines Nachbarn aufgestellt, wo die Teilnehmer sie von allen Teilen der Kreuzung aus sehen konnten. Ihre Verstärker hoben den Klang ausreichend hervor, so dass alle Teilnehmer einigermaßen gut hören konnten. Die Leute erschienen lange vor der festgesetzten Stunde, um das beste Dock für ihre Golfwagen zu sichern. Von Anfang an lag ein festliches Gefühl in der Luft. Leute tanzten auf den Straßen und Hörner wurden anstelle von Applaus gehupt. Ein wunderschöner Tag mit herrlichem Sonnenschein und blauem Himmel. 1.000 Dollar wurden für die Lebensmittelbank gesammelt. James P. O'Brien war seit 1975 Musik-Professor an der Fakultät für Musik der Universität von Arizona und hat über 190 Arrangements online, darunter viele berühmte Melodien und 3 CDs. |

 The NZAA has announced major changes to the 2020 South Pacific and New Zealand Accordion Championships for Saturday 30 May 2020. The event will not be a public event due to the Covid-19 situation and the number of categories has been reduced to the major South Pacific Accordion Championship categories. The NZ World Accordion Day Concert has also been changed and will now be a video concert without audience. For the South Pacific Championships, the NZAA has booked a small hall, Rose Centre, Devonport, where contestants only will perform without audience, to a small jury. Additionally, the NZAA has also made provision to run these classes digitally by contestants using their phone to video from home if use of the hall is prevented by New Zealand Government Covid-19 regulation. With these plans in place, the competitions will definitely be taking place for these categories and the message by the NZAA to potential entrants is "Keep Practising" as there is definitely going to be a competition. This might be a template for other accordion associations to follow at this difficult time. |

 Reminder of the past.With many of the world's accordionists in isolation and lockdown because of Covid-19, this video is a nice reminder of what accordionists around the world are looking forward to when Covid-19 is no longer a danger. Video: Martynas in 2016 performs a flashmob concert with the SinChronic string quartet performing Vivaldi at the Vilnius Railway Station, to a delighted audience. Enjoy. |
