Theo Redepenning Wins Accordion Scholarship – New Zealandby Christine Johnstone |
Young accordionist, Theo Redepenning has won the 2020 Canterbury Accordion Association (CAA) Scholarship. Theo grew up hearing his dad and eldest brother playing accordion, so he began playing too at age 13. Since that time, Theo has entertained at many community concerts, variety concerts, jam sessions and recitals as well as street busking in Rangiora, and Christchurch. He is also a member of the Christchurch Accordion Orchestra. Having received the CAA's scholarship, he is looking forward to competing at the annual New Zealand Accordion Association South Pacific Championships which will be held in Auckland again next year. |
