Le joueur d’Arsenal Laurent Koscielny vient en aide aux Accordéons Maugein - France

Maugein accordion
Laurent KoscielnyLa plus ancienne fabrique française d’accordéon, menacée de fermeture, a reçu un soutien inattendu qui la maintient à flot, celui du footballeur d’Arsenal (Holloway, Londres), Laurent Koscielny (Photo de droite).

La société des accordéons Maugein a été fondée en 1919 mais a connu récemment des temps difficiles dus aux exportations à bas coûts de Chine et d’Europe de l’Est. D’après le journal britannique The Guardian, le maire de Tulle Bernard Combes a contacté Koscielny qui est aussi de Tulle, ville d’implantation de Maugein.

Selon l’article, Laurent Koscielny a apporté 600 000 € et fait partie d’un groupe d’investisseurs dont l’objectif est de conserver l’entreprise avec pour résultat le sauvetage de 20 emplois.

FMAE/MESA Accordion Event and Joan Sommers 80th Birthday Celebration - USA


Joan C SommersJoan C SommersAccordionists are a special type of people. If you are one, you automatically know what I mean. We are people who love the accordion…. playing it, attending concerts, learning about it, socializing and performing with people who like accordions….. and we are accordion groupies, and we worship the amazingly gifted ones…….. such as the late great jazz artist, Frank Marocco.

Then there are those who are not only all of the above but are even more. I am talking about Joan and Dan Grauman (picture left), who have a special gift of making friends and bringing them all together on "Planet Accordion", which happened to be annually in Mesa, Arizona for the past eight years. 

The eight years of the MESA accordion event originally named the FMAE (Frank Marocco Accordion Event) provided a unique musical experience for musician and non-musician alike. It was eight years of memorable times including the special years when the legendary Frank Marocco shared his musical expertise in a way both kind and exciting. Stas Venglevski took over the baton with great skill after Frank's passing. 

For the 2014 MESA event, in honor of her 80th birthday, Joan Sommers (picture right), Professor Emerita, University of Missouri – Kansas City Conservatory of Music, internationally known conductor and arranger, was invited to be the guest conductor and concert leader.

Everyone who attended left the MESA events with very special memories, new ideas, new friends, an encouraging and newly renewed enthusiasm for learning and performing, and a huge amount of gratitude to the devoted FMAE/MESA organizers, Joan and Dan Grauman.

Académies d'été 2014 - France et Allemagne‏

Nous avons le plaisir de proposer deux académies d'été qui accueilleront l'accordéon:
 
L'Académie Internationale de Musiques de Villelongue-dels-Monts (Pyrénées-Orientales) se déroulera du 30 Juillet au 11 Août. Cette rencontre multidisciplinaire – en plus des cours d'instrument et de musique de chambre dispensés par de grandes figures des disciplines classiques, jazz ou traditionnelles – propose un large panel d'ateliers nourrissant la pratique musicale. Quatre jours intenses de festival accueillant une trentaine de concerts donnés par les professeurs et les élèves clôtureront cette académie stimulante. → Informations et inscriptions email: academie.delsmonts@gmx.fr
 
L' Académie-Festival Cortinas 2014 aura lieu du 23 au 30 Août à Villingen en Allemagne, au cœur de la Forêt Noire. L'accordéon rejoindra les piano, violon, alto et violoncelle, pour une semaine d'échanges musicaux et de perfectionnement instrumental. Chaque soir, les professeurs se donneront en récital ; le concert final sera réservé aux stagiaires dont les plus avancés auront la chance d'être accompagnés par l'orchestre du festival (nous contacter pour connaître les concertos ou pièces possibles)
→ Informations et inscriptions email:  festivalcortinas@gmail.com
 
Le concept d'académie :
Les académies de musique sont des occasions d'échanges, de découvertes, elles donnent un lieu et un temps pour progresser à court comme à long terme. Elles offrent la chance aux élèves d'être quotidiennement au contact de brillantes personnalités musicales de tous horizons et de toutes générations et de partager la musique avec toutes les familles d'instruments, permettant ainsi de pratiquer la musique de chambre. Elles s'adressent à tous les âges et à tous les niveaux : des amateurs en quête de découverte et de plaisir musical aux pré-professionnels désirant se préparer efficacement aux cursus spécialisés et supérieurs (DEM, Pôles supérieurs, CNSM, Musikhochschulen...).

Nous choisissons de nous associer pour faire profiter chacun des élèves de nos deux parcours et de nos expériences artistiques, leur transmettant une sensibilité et un savoir acquis auprès de grands professeurs (Hugo Noth, Teodoro Anzellotti, Philippe Bourlois entre autres) et durant nos parcours internationaux.
 
Contenus :
Ces académies seront des cadres privilégiés pour travailler entre autres sur les points suivants :
Développer des stratégies de travail pour acquérir une meilleure efficacité.
Comprendre et s'approprier le répertoire, le style et le texte : avec quels moyens musicaux peut-on construire son interprétation, avec quels outils expressifs peut-on épanouir son jeu ?
Acquérir une technique instrumentale unifiée : comment optimiser l'utilisation de l'accordéon dans sa globalité, de son corps, en comprenant les liens unissant claviers, soufflet et posture.
Se familiariser lors de mini-conférences/débats avec l'Histoire de l'accordéon, connaître les courants, les interprètes et les compositeurs clefs pour notre instrument.
 
Nous restons à disposition pour toute question, en vous remerciant de transmettre ce mail aux élèves intéressés.
