Международный фестиваль современного аккордеона, Рим – Италияby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
С 24 по 27 мая в Риме прошел первый Международный фестиваль современного аккордеона, организованный Консерваторией Санта Чечилия (Conservatorio Santa Cecilia). Фестиваль был направлен на популяризацию и признание аккордеона, особенно в связи с тем, что аккордеон до сих пор не слишком известен и нечасто звучит в итальянских театрах. Художественный руководитель фестиваля Массимилиано Питокко (Massimiliano Pitocco), профессор аккордеона этой Консерватории, подготовил насыщенную четырехдневную программу, в которую вошли серия семинаров, концертов и международный конкурс. Семинары провели маэстро Мика Вяйрюнен (Mika Väyrynen) – концертный исполнитель и преподаватель Академии Сибелиуса в Хельсинки, Финляндия, и Фредерик Дешамп (Frederic Deschamps ) – исполнитель и преподаватель Парижской Консерватории, Франция. Международный конкурс аккордеонистов был разделен на три категории: категория А – до 15 лет, категории В – до 18 лет и Категория С – без ограничения возраста. Участники приехали из Словакии, Финляндии, Хорватии, Японии, Сербии и Италии. В состав жюри вошли: пианист и аккордеонист Фаусто Ди Чезаре (Fausto Di Cesare), композитор и аккордеонист Алессандро Сбордони (Alessandro Sbordoni), Скурти Германо (Scurti Germano), Мирко Патарини (Mirco Patarini), Мика Вяйрюнен, Фредерик Дешамп и контрабасист и преподаватель Консерватории Перуджы Даниэль Рокко (Daniel Rocco). Результаты конкурса: Категория A: 1 место – Микаэль Топпо (Michael Toppo), 2 место – Франческо Браччи (Francesco Bracci). Категория B: победитель – Самюэле Телари (Samuelе Telari)/ Второе и третье места не присуждались. Категория C: победителем стал участник из Италии Анджело Миеле (Angelo Miele). 2 место – хорват Иван Сверком (Ivan Sverkom), 3 место – Петар Марич (Petar Maric). Закрытие Фестиваля и церемония награждения прошли днем 27 мая. За дополнительной информацией можно обратиться к Массимилиано Питокко: m.pitocco@dotcube.it |
Аккордеонный Фестиваль «Nijkamp Spring Festival 2010», Апельдорн – Нидерландыby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
29 и 30 мая музыкальный центр Musiekhuis Gert Nijkamp провел в Апелдорне, Нидерланды, свое ежегодное весеннее мероприятие. Многие клиенты и поклонники аккордеона съехались на фестиваль не только, чтобы подобрать себе инструмент по специальным ценам, но также, чтобы послушать талантливых аккордеонистов. Они не были разочарованы!. Гвоздем программы в этом году стал дуэт из России в составе Юлии Америковой (аккордеон) и Александра Селиванова (баян), известный как «Una Sinistra». Оба они очень известные аккордеонисты. И здесь этот искусный дуэт продемонстрировал свою универсальность, исполнив классический и народный репертуар на готово-выборных инструментах, после чего, сменив инструменты, музыканты исполнили пьесы в стиле французского мюзета. Кроме того в программе фестиваля приняли участие Доминик Паатс (Dominque Paats) из Бельгии, который в полном объеме продемонстрировал возможности нового цифрового аккордеона Roland V Аккордеон FR – 7X; Тони Роел (Tony Roel), который является популярным исполнителем и постоянным участником этого фестиваля. И, наконец, новый сотрудник центра, Питер Босма (Pieter Bosma), который недавно присоединился к команде Nijkamp и который является специалистом в области электронных баянов и аккордеонов. На этом шоу действительно каждый нашел что-то свое! Следующий фестиваль пройдет в конце осени. |

1930s Excelsior: Information Sought…and Found!, Florida – USAby Rob Howard |
Accordionist Joe Romiti was for many years keen to know some technical details about an Excelsior accordion that once belonged to his late father, Tony Romiti. Purchased in the 1930s, Tony Romiti frequently used this accordion to accompany the then up-and-coming Perry Como, who was also a long time family friend. Joe this week wrote to Accordions Worldwide, who referred him to the very knowledgeable Steve Navoyosky. Thanks to Steve, Joe now has alot of information about this model, described by Steve as “an accordion set up longed for by the polka playing accordion player”. This model was similar to one that was built for Pietro Deiro in 1932. Joe comments: “I have no intention of selling this instrument. It will stay in the family as an heirloom”. Accordions Worldwide thanks Steve Navoyosky for his much appreciated assistance. |
