 The Australian Accordion Teacher’s Association (AATA) was pleased to share and showcase the accordion for the Sutherland Music Club’s July meeting on Tuesday 2nd July. The audience at the historical Sutherland Memorial Arts Theatre, Sydney, were entertained by the tremendous versatility of the accordion, with solo and duet performances.The concert started with AATA president, Tania Marx (accordion) and Larysa Kovalchuk (bandura) performing traditional Ukrainian melodies. Both performers had recently featured at the World Music Festival in Innsbruck, Austria, and the Australian audience were obviously fascinated with this combination of instruments – rarely seen together in concert. Two young players – both prizewinners from the recent Australian International Accordion Championships and festival then followed, Andrew Zhao (12 years) and Alvin Xiao (6 years) were real crowd pleasers, and received enthusiastic applause before featured soloist, Lionel Reekie from New Zealand took the stage. Lionel’s program ranged from traditional melodies to popular jazz standards to entertain the audience. and their reaction showed why he is always in demand as an entertainer. Lionel also included a number of vocal renditions of stage/screen songs from his popular CD album, “From Russia with Love” after which Lionel returned to the accordion explaining its history and also how it works. |
