Vidéo: Sergei Lobkov est-il le vainqueur le plus romantique ? - Autricheby Harley Jones |
 |
| Sergei Lobkov (Russie), vainqueur de la catégorie Variété senior de la coupe mondiale mérite sûrement un prix spécial du « gagnant le plus romantique ». Voir la vidéo ci-dessus de Sergei lors de la remise des prix. Après avoir été présenté sur scène par le président Raymond Bodell et Holda Paoletti-Kampl, Sergei a admis être très nerveux et nous avons compris pourquoi lorsque quelques secondes plus tard, il a invité la belle ??? à monter sur scène puis est tombé à genoux. Le public a aimé ça, comme vous pouvez l’entendre d’après l’acclamation. Et comme vous pouvez le voir sur la photo ci-dessous, la proposition solennelle de Sergei fut acceptée avec bonheur par ??? qui montra sa bague au public toujours en folie. |

 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending November 3rd 2000 included an article about a cruise in the Caribbean 14 years ago, with entertainment by the Puerto Rico Accordion Orchestra.

Native Puerto Rico Tunes For Holiday Makers - Puerto Rico Contributed by Jane Berkovitz The Puerto Rico Accordion Orchestra will perform a repertoire of tunes native to Puerto Rico when they entertain guests on the ‘Nordic Empress’ Caribbean cruise ship from November 17th to 20th. Two percussionists, an announcer and a dancer will accompany the 15 member accordion orchestra. Their programs will include ‘Aguinaldo Jibaro’, ‘La Boricua’, as well as popular pieces like ‘Lara's Theme’, ‘Can Can’, and ‘Syncopated Clock’. |

| Friederike Steiner, Conductor. The Wiener Neustädter ZiehHarmoniker performing at the 2014 Coupe Mondiale in Salzburg. This video is the first half of their performance. View the second half performance, second video box at: http://www.coupemondiale.org/2014/V31snvR2Eur.htm The accordion orchestra was founded in 1978 and, over the years, evolved from a five-member ensemble to a big orchestra conducted by Friederike Steiner since 30 years. Nowadays, in addition to the orchestra, there are also an ensemble and a youth orchestra, to develop the future generation of accordionists. The numerous activities of the ZiehHarmoniker range from regional concerts to various events throughout Austria and participation in church occasions. Musically, the compromise between the technical possibilities as non-professionals and their own high expectations is being targeted. The repertoire includes mostly swing and jazz specially arranged for accordion orchestra. However, Tango or Tango Nuevo as well as “classics” from pop and rock are also going to be performed. In various competitions awards were achieved, recently 2nd price at the “Prague Harmonica Days 2013” when performing “Escualo” by Astor Piazzolla/Werner Weibert, “Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka” by Johann Strauss and “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Freddie Mercury in the category of adult orchestras. |
