 The Accordions Worldwide News for April 5th 2002 included mention of an exhibition dedicated to Charles Magnante (1905-86), one the most admired accordionists of his generation, held at A World of Accordions Museum (AWAM), Superior, Wisconsin. The museum, founded and run by Dr Helmi Harrington, has over a thousand accordions on display plus much memorabilia. www.worldofaccordions.orgMagnante's Musical Legacy Displayed at World of Accordions Museum – USA Contributed by Faithe Deffner A World of Accordions Museum (AWAM) have scheduled the official opening ceremony of their new Magnante Exhibition to coincide with the AAA International Competition and Festival, held in Minneapolis from July 10th to 14th. The AAA Festival will feature a day trip to Duluth for participants to witness the opening ceremonies of this exhibit and to view the displays of A World of Accordions Museum. www.worldofaccordions.org The museum is known internationally as a unique accordion research center, attracting students and scholars from many countries. The Museum houses about 1,000 accordion-family instruments, thousands of recordings, hundreds of thousands of pieces of music, accordion-related art works, and many diverse reference materials. The Magnante collection represents an important contribution to the Museum resources, and this site of its permanent placement is viewed as most appropriate for reaching a wide audience. |
