Nijkamp Spring Festival 2010, Apeldoorn - Netherlandsby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
Musiekhuis Gert Nijkamp held its annual spring event on the weekend of May 29th/30th in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. Many customers and accordion fans were there not only to pick up an instrument at special show prices, but also to be entertained by talented accordionists. They were not disappointed! Top of the bill this year were the Russian duo of Yulia Amerikova and Alexander Selivanov, known as ‘Una Sinistra’. They are both highly acclaimed accordionists in their own right but here showed their versatility as a duet, playing both classical and folk music on free bass accordions before changing style and instruments to play French musette. Also featured on the program were Dominque Paats, from Belgium, who showed the capabilities of the new Roland V-Accordion to its full extent; Tony Roel, who is a popular performer at these events, and finally, new staff member, Pieter Bosma, who joined the Nijkamp team recently and is a specialist in button and electronic accordion. There was indeed something for everyone at this show! The next Nijkamp event will be in the late autumn. |
