| The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending December 10th 1999 included an article discussing the First International Accordionists' Meeting that took place in Slovakia, which was a very successful event. Is this accordion event in Slovakia still taking place? First International Meeting of Accordionists – Slovakia Contributed by Holda Paoletti-Kampl The First International Accordionists' Meeting took place from November 17th to 21st in Poprad, at the foot of the Tatra mountains in Slovakia organized by Dr. Viera Grohova, director of the Poprad School. The event included a competition for young accordionists (under 18), three seminars and four evening concerts. The competition jury consisted of Nicolai Kravtsov (Russia), Paolo Picchio (Italy), Stefan Eperjesi (Slovakia), Klaudiusz Baran (Poland) and Robert Tatar (Slovakia). Winners include: Zuzana Vikarska (Poprad), Ludowika Czyzydlo (Poland) and Dmitri Belechov (Russia). Seminars were held by Nicolai Kravtsov, who introduced his personal model of accordion featuring lozenge-shaped buttons representing a beehive, and by Paolo Picchio, who discussed the problems of ornamentation in Domenico Scarlatti's Sonatas and the works of Astor Piazzolla. The opening concert featured the Kosice Accordion Orchestra (conducted by Vladimir Cuchran). The next two days included a performance by the duo Klaudiusz Baran (accordion) & Malvina Banas (cello) and a concert featuring students of the St. Petersburg Academy. The final evening was devoted entirely to the competition winners. |
