Он был подготовлен в 2000 году профессорами Рикардо Льяносом Васкесом из Муниципальной музыкальной школы Луиса Арамбуру (Витория) и Иньяки Альберди Альсага из Высшего музыкального центра Страны басков "Musikene" (Сан-Себастьян).

It`s the most sold book now in our country and its author (Amets Arzallus) will make some recitatives during the piece. It`s going to be so important to have one of our most well-known poets (our singer Jon Maia) and the most sold writer (Amets Arzallus) in the same song”.

The duo performed the featured concert before a packed house of nearly 1,000 persons after judging competitions and writing comments for 5 days of competitions. The duo often performed in concert with Gary Smith on drums (who is pictured in many of the photos of various performances, but did not travel to Ohio for this concert). Jeff and Karen won the US Champion Duo AAA Accordion Title in Chicago in 1974 and also represented the United States in the Coupe Mondiale World Accordion Championships in Stockholm, Sweden in 1974. They performed and arranged together as the duo team, "Karen and Jeff" from the early 1970s until 1977, appearing in numerous engagements in Kansas City and throughout the U.S. in cities such as Chicago, St. Louis, Topeka, Omaha, Fort Scott, Cedar Point, Wichita, Des Moines, Washington D.C. and L.A., as well as in Sweden and Denmark. There are no known videos of their performances together. Until the sad passing of Jeff, they both performed, composed, and arranged professionally -- Jeff in Nashville and Karen in Kansas City.

Accordion Teacher Required at Diocese of Leeds Music - UKby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
The Diocese of Leeds Music is advertising for a full time classical accordion teacher to join their team in Yorkshire. The Diocese says "As our Schools Singing and Keyboard Studies Programmes expand there are now eight full-time positions for Choral Directors, Instrumental Tutors (Classical Accordion, Organ and Piano) and Assistant Programme Directors available. Our Music Programme, recently recognised by a prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society award, works with over 4,500 children weekly in schools across West and North Yorkshire. Our 18 after-school choirs provide outstanding choral opportunities for young people, including BBC broadcasts, tours and recordings, with high-quality organ, piano and classical accordion tuition available for all choristers and school pupils across the Diocese. We would like to establish the largest and highest quality teaching school in the UK for the classical accordion. This modern instrument is relatively unknown in the UK. Its musical versatility and portability, however, make it ideal for more widestream music education, as has been achieved in Scandinavia and Asia. In addition, it is increasingly used in contemporary and experimental music. Owen Murray, Professor of Accordion at the Royal Academy of Music, has provided great support for this new initiative, and it is our hope that this new programme will enable children from the UK to study at the top international conservatoires. The Music Programme has a stock of 20 beginner piano accordions, six c-system free-bass accordions, a further 10 c-system converter accordions on order from Pigini in Italy, with a budget for additional instruments as required. There are currently 18 students studying accordion. The new tutor would be expected to lead the programme strand, increase the number of students, develop opportunities for ensemble playing (including choral accompaniment), produce a tutor book for the classical instrument, and establish a similar international profile for the accordion to that achieved by the Leeds International Organ Festival". All roles require enhanced DBS clearance. The closing date for applications is 22nd February, 2021. For an application pack, please contact Administrator, Jessica Shears: office@dioceseofleedsmusic.org.uk |
