Чествования в Кастельфидардо: Горни Крамер (Gorni Kramer) и Ришар Гальяно (Richard Galliano) – Италияby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
  В ознаменование традиций и достижений аккордеонного искусства Международный музей аккордеона Castelfidardo и муниципалитет города Кастельфидардо организовали музыкальный вечер, посвященный крупному композитору, исполнителю-аккордеонисту и дирижеру Горни Крамеру (Gorni Kramer). Мероприятие пройдет в пятницу 11 декабря в театре Астра, Кастельфидардо. Начало в 21.00.На этом вечере французский баянист Ришар Гальяно (Richard Galliano) первым из иностранцев удостоится звания почетный гражданин города Кастельфидардо (Castelfidardo). Объединение имен двух мастеров такого уровня в одном мероприятии само по себе красноречиво, но не стоит забывать, какой неординарной личностью был сам Горни Крамер. Ему удалось поднять популярность аккордеона на телевидении, радио и в музыкальных спектаклях театров всего мира на небывалую высоту. В ходе вечера видео-презентация поможет зрителям снова пережить его памятные выступления и его изысканный исполнительский вкус, который и сегодня всё ещё актуален. Его фантастическая блистательная карьера является уникальной в истории популярной музыки. Кульминацией церемонии, ходом которой будет управлять Бенжамино Буджиолакки (Beniamino Bugiolacchi), станет вручение грамоты с присвоением Звания Почетного Гражданина Ришару Гальяно - одному из лучших баянистов мира, который своим искусством создаёт самое высокое и благородное впечатление о баяне и аккордеоне – инструментах, домом которых стал Кастельфидардо. Для города это большая честь и привилегия предоставить сцену Ришару Гальяно, своим выступлением отдающего дань таланту Горни Крамера в присутствии двух его дочерей. Награда ‘Paolo Soprani’, учрежденная компанией SUONI по соглашению с музеем, будет присуждена региону Марке – одной из административных единиц Италии, в которую входит провинция Анкона и город Кастельфидардо. С 2007 года этот регион включил аккордеон в список всех представляемых и продвигаемых за рубежом своих достижений (например, недавняя выставка в Бразилии) в качестве продукта, символизирующего культуру, работу и экономику региона Марке, в котором Человек и его творческий гений являются главными действующими лицами. В тот же вечер пройдет празднование 25-летия начала официального обучения аккордеону в консерватории Пезаро. Маэстро Сержио Скаппини (Sergio Scappini), будет награжден как первый итальянский преподаватель по классу аккордеона, давший первый урок 27 ноября 1984 года. Он будет играть на классическом и электронном инструментах в сопровождении превосходного оркестра ‘Fisorchestra Marche’. Спонсоры этого события: регион Марке, провинция Анкона, банк Banca Credito Cooperativo di Recanati e Colmurano и город Кастельфидардо. Организатор мероприятия – Международный музей аккордеона в сотрудничестве с Pro-Loco Castelfidardo. Бенжамино Буджиолакки (Beniamino Bugiolacchi) выступит в качестве исторического консультанта. |

And finally, many thought that the demise of the polka award would spell the end of 18-time winner Jimmy Sturr’s Grammy run. However, Jimmy and his orchestra garnered yet another Grammy nomination; this time, for ‘Best Traditional Folk Album’. |

| The Schlüchttal-Akkordeon-Orchester Gurtweil e.V are holding a concert “Musik mit Biss” or “Music with a Bite”. Snappy but beautiful are the songs. Whether a medley from Brian Adams, or by Herbert Grönemeyer, there is something for everyone here. Even a musette waltz has crept into the program. On Sunday 13th December, the Schlüchttal-Akkordeon-Orchester Gurtweil e.V have a family afternoon concert with all the youth players with over 40 children and their volunteer trainers. So the young people thought of the name: “Red Hot Chili Squeezing”. Lets hope nothing burns!!!! |
