Фотоизображения преступников, укравших аккордеоны, Sunningdale (Беркшир) - Великобританияby Rob Howard |
 |
| В августе ночью был ограблен магазин The Accordion Shop, в графстве Беркшир. Были украдены 40 аккордеонов вместе с рабочими компьютерами. Вы можете видеть фото с видеокамер от Thames Valley Police выше. Бев Ловелл, чей дед основал эту компанию почти 90 лет назад, объяснил изданию The Guardian, что воры знали, зачем пришли. Они взяли из магазина самые дорогие инструменты. Дознаватель Эндрю Корбетт: "Я обращаюсь к этому человеку, которого мы видим на снимке с камеры, и к тем, кто знает его. Пожалуйста, сообщите в полицию. Позвоните по 101 и сообщите информацию на справочный номер 43160218225". |

"Beyond Amazing" Государственный молодежный оркестр аккордеонистов, Баден-Вюртемберг - Индияby Harley Jones |
 |
 Видео: Государственный молодежный оркестр аккордеонистов, Баден-Вюртемберг Брамс, Венгерский танец No.1, "КСВ Sonntagstour" (ТВ 2009г.). Дирижер: Стефан Хиппе.Недавно Силке D'Инка была удостоена премии Серебряный дирижер от DHV Национальной ассоциации аккордеона за успехи в последнее 10-летие своей активной деятельности. Обзор и Интервью CatchNews.com, Нью-Дели, от 28 октября 2016. Половине оркестрантов этого коллектива всего лишь около 18 лет! Мы увидели на сцене тридцать с лишним человек, в возрасте от 16 до 26 лет, каждый из которых блестяще играл на аккордеоне. Звучали: Hungarian Rhapsody, Dance of the Comedians to Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni и Dragon Fight и много другой музыки. Это были молодые исполнители из Государственного молодежного оркестра аккордеонистов, (Баден-Вюртемберг, Германия). Концерт продолжался более двух часов под искусным руководством дирижера Силке D'Инки. После концерта дирижеру задали несколько вопросов: Вопрос: Кроме аккордеонов, в оркестре играют только барабаны. Не слишком ли мало инструментов? Ответ: Возможно вы заметили, что инструменты имеют различные переключатели, регистры? Мы используем и электронные аккордеоны и аккордеоны с усилителями. У нас есть первый аккордеон, и второй, и третий и четвертый, как в симфоническом оркестре. Вопрос: Я знаю, что в ваш оркестр каждый год приходят молодые музыканты, многие из которых еще несовершеннолетние. Ответ: У нас всегда в оркестре играет около 30 человек. Каждый год мы берем как минимум 10 новых музыкантов. Они обычно хорошо обучены, являются победителями конкурсов. Мы берем не всех подряд. Вопрос: Сегодня звучала самая разная музыка. Была ли она связана какой-то общей темой? Ответ: Я всегда стараюсь составлять программу таким образом, чтобы мы исполняли как оригинальную музыку (написанную специально для аккордеона), так и классическую. |

 Subject: Accordion public education and popular music in Finland 1850 to 1900.Publisher: Sibelius Academy 2016 Original release date: Sep 16, 2016 Format: Book (softcover). 138 pages + covers Lanquage: Finnish (abstract in English) Price: 20.00 € Markku Lepistö writes: "I focused specifically on early sales channels for accordions, early performers on the accordion and aspects of public appreciation of the instrument. My principal source database was the digital newspaper archive maintained by the Finnish National Library, where I could search for and compile a wealth of information about instrument sellers, instrument repairers and accordion builders, among other things. I also cover the acccordion history at the height of the folk education movement. A key figure in this book is the German-Danish-Finnish accordionist Martin Paul (1843–1893), who created a signifcant career as a performing artist and an accordion teacher in Finland between 1879 and 1893." |

 On Sunday 30th October, over 80 accordionists met at Ripley Village Hall, Woking, to participate in the 2016 Super Orchestra Day. There was representation from 11 different accordion orchestras or groups as well as soloists from all over England. The youngest member this year was 9 years of age.Three pieces were carefully selected to accommodate different playing levels and different styles and the orchestra was conducted for the first time by Julie North. The day started out with a slow run through of each piece paying attention to all the details and expression before percussion is added in the afternoon session. There was a final run through of the pieces before the public performance that evening to an audience. The evening concert also featured performances from the London Accordion Intermediate Orchestra conducted by Julie North, Watford Accordion Band conducted by Shona Holmes, Middlesex Accordion Orchestra led by James Mullally and the Tillingbourne Accordion Orchestra conducted by Marion Szuman. The quote of the day from the youngest participant and first time member - 'I just want to do this again tomorrow!'. Unfortunately, she and all the other participants will have to wait another year for the 2017 Super Orchestra Day! |

| The following report on this year’s ‘Return to Camden’ performances, from ‘Irish World’, was written by Anne Geaghan. This year’s ‘Return to Camden Town’s Friday concert at King’s Place was presented by ‘Pride of London’ banjo player Mick O’Connor, accompanied by former Thatch ceilidh band accordion player John Bowe. Both players have a gentle, soothing approach and were well supported on stage by the steady keyboard skills of Pete Quinn. Mick, John and Pete glided through popular tunes. After a short interval Mórga entered the stage with a rousing programme presented by Danny Diamond, the fiddle player in the Mórga quartet. Danny’s fellow band members David Munnelly on accordion, Dominic Keogh on bodhrán (he is also a fine flautist), and Jonas Fromseier, from Denmark, on bouzouki presented a programme of Irish American music, Irish music composed in the ‘70s and session-style arrangements of well-known tunes. The following night, Saturday, the performances moved to the London Irish Centre in Camden and we heard the London Irish Pensioners’ Choir perform lovely ballads with audience participation. Crossharbour followed with new compositions from Orlaith McAuliffe and Tad Sergeant. Rosie sang her heart out ending with a fine interpretation of ‘Banks of the Claudy’. Sam Proctor on fiddle and Philippe Barnes on tin whistle played new tunes with Orlaith. Waterford based Caladh Nua concluded the Saturday concert with a showcase of music from Ireland’s south-east. Singer Lisa Butler sang authoritatively, played the fiddle and introduced her four colleagues, Derek Morissey (accordion), Paddy Tutty (fiddle), Brian Mooney (banjo) and Caoimhin O Fearghaill (guitar). Up the road at Cecil Sharp House, the set dancers were out in force to welcome back the Tulla Ceili Band. The band made many new friends in 2012 and delivered the best tunes – polkas, slides for the Connemara, Caledonian, and Clare Sets. This time, as then, they were greeted by a sea of happy faces and deft footwork. The Ceilidhs were poignant as tributes were paid to the wonderful Marian Savage who passed away in 2015. Mairead Casey from Longford was back again for workshops and a fine display of Sean-nós steps. On Sunday afternoon an orderly queue waited eagerly before heading upstairs to the presidential suite to hear Bobby Gardiner on accordion and his daughter Lynda on concertina. Mary McNamara, who earlier had led a concertina workshop and did a guest slot with the Tulla band, was joined by daughter Sorcha Costello on fiddle. Tom O’Connell from West Limerick on accordion and Peter McAlinden, from London, added more great music. Afterwards, preparation began in McNamara Hall for Sunday night’s concert – a tribute to the late Jimmy Philbin from Cornamona, Co Galway who died earlier this year. The Good Mixer band and le Cheile were gems demonstrating precision teamwork and seamless harmonies. |

 Video: Fachwerk composed by Sofia Gubaidulina, soloist Maciej Frackiewicz, Live performance from Konzerthaus in Detmold, Germany, Published on Feb 23, 2016.The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra (NOSPR) is featuring composer Sofia Gubaidulina on the 10th November, with a performance of "Under the Sign of Scorpio", soloist Maciej Frackiewicz (picture right), conducted by Christopher Lyndon-Gee (picture below). One of the favorite instruments of Gubaidulina is the bayan and about "Under the Sign of Scorpio" (composed 2003), she wrote: "The title comes from the fact that this work has been dedicated to one of the most important musicians of our time, bayan player Friedrich Lips, who was born under the sign of Scorpio. (Indeed, this is also my zodiac sign)." Soloist Maciej Frackiewicz was the winner of the 20th ‘Arrasate Hiria’ International Accordion Competition in Spain (2012). He studied with Klaudiusz Baran (FCUM Warsaw), with Inaki Alberdi, (ESMUC Barcelona), Grzegorz Stopa (HFM Detmold) and Mie Miki (Folkwang Universität der Künste). In 2013 he received the “Polityka” magazine “Passport” award for “very mature and diverse interpretations of contemporary music and other music genres. For courage, daring and consistency. For enriching the musical repertoire. For his concert creations and stimulating our imagination, as well as his persuasive strength”. He regularly appears on stage to perform solo parts with the leading orchestras in Poland, as well as in several chamber ensembles. He is also a devoted propagator of accordion among contemporary composers. It was his initiative or inspiration that influenced composing over 70 new works for accordion. |

 Pauline Oliveros will perform in ‘Bang on a Can’ on Thursday November 10th, 7.30pm, at the Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Avenue at 92nd Street, New York City.‘Bang on a Can’ and the Jewish Museum are presenting the second concert of their 2016-2017 concert season featuring seminal American composer Pauline Oliveros. Accompanying the exhibition, ‘Take Me (I'm Yours)’, the concert will feature Oliveros performing ‘The Sound of Meditation’ on Roland V Accordion. Like the exhibition, the concert also blurs the boundary between the performer and the audience by asking the listener to participate in the making of music. Since the 1960s Pauline Oliveros has influenced American music profoundly through her work with improvisation, meditation, electronic music, myth and ritual. In the 1950s she was part of a circle of iconoclastic composers, artists, poets in San Francisco. She is the recipient of the John Cage award for 2012 from the Foundation of Contemporary Arts, and serves as Distinguished Research Professor of Music at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY and Darius Milhaud Artist-in-Residence at Mills College. She has been as interested in finding new sounds as in finding new uses for old ones - her primary instrument is the accordion, perhaps an unexpected visitor to the musical cutting edge. Pauline is the founder of ‘Deep Listening’, which she describes as a way of listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what you are doing. Such intense listening includes the sounds of daily life, of nature, of one's own thoughts as well as musical sounds. "Deep Listening is my life practice," she explains, simply. Oliveros is the founder of the Center For Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, formerly the Pauline Oliveros Foundation. |
