La CIA tient la 137ème assemblée générale des délégués lors de son congrès d'hiver.

CIA Winter Congress graphic
Georg HettmannLa Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) a tenu sa 137ème assemblée générale des délégués à Nüremberg, Allemagne, du 2 au 4 décembre 2016.

L'évènement était accueilli par le membre fondateur de la CIA, le Deutscher Harmonika-Verband e.V. (DHV) et avait lieu conjointement avec le concert et gala du 70ème anniversaire du célèbre orchestre d'accordéons de Nüremberg Willi Münch e. V., placé sous la direction de Stefan Hippe. Compte rendu complet du concert dans le prochain article.

Des délégués venus d'aussi loin que la Nouvelle-Zélande, le Brésil, les USA, toute l'Europe et la scandinavie ont été accueillis pour la cérémonie et le diner d'ouverture par l'organisateur de l'évènement Georg Hettmann. Reçus dans la jolie ville de Nüremberg, les membres ont pu découvrir le riche héritage de la cité ainsi que l'un des marchés de Noël les plus célébres au monde qui venait d'ouvrir pour les vacances.

Cette série annuelle de rencontres permet aux divers comités et à l'assemblée genérale de suivre les affaires de la CIA. Parmi les divers comités, le comité exécutif, le comité musical et l'alliance pour le musée mondial de l'accordéon.

Plusieurs prix ont été décernés lors de ce congrès : le prix de Mérite de la CIA pour “majeures contributions au mouvement international de l'accordéon a été remis à Zorica Karakutovska (Macédoine) et Mika Väyrynen (Finlande).

Le prix d'honneur d'Ami de l'Accordéon est la reconnaissance de contributions majeures des récipiendaires au mouvement de l'accordéon dans leurs pays respectifs, qu'il soient accordéonistes ou non. Les bénéficiaires de cette année sont Anna Bodell (Royaume-Uni), Amando Bugari (Italie) et Wolfram Märzendorfer (Autridche).

Un prix spécial, diplôme de reconnaissance, a par ailleurs été remis à l'orchestre d'accordéons de Nüremberg à l'occasion de son 70ème anniversaire.

Le Comité musical a fait part d'un changement de statut pour la promotion de l'accordén numérique. Explorant constamment de nouveaux chemins de promotion de l'accordéon dans ses divers aspects, la CIA a décidé de promouvoir l'accordéon numérique dans le cadre d'un concert plutôt que par un concours. En 2017, des experts du domaine de l'accordéon numérique seront invités à promouvoir en concert cet excitant volet du domaine de l'accordéon pour mettre en valeur des divers aspects de cette technologie.

Le World Accordion Orchestra qui a déjà connu huit éditions, sera formé à Osimo, le dimanche 10 septembre 2017 pour un concert d'après-midi en conclusion de la Coupe Mondiale. Le World Accordion Orchestra IX, qui sera organisé par la fondatrice du World Accordion Orchestra Joan Cochran Sommers (Membre d'Honneur de la CIA), comprendra des orchestres extérieurs ainsi que les délégués internationaux et invités. Deux répétitions se tiendront durant la Coupe Mondiale en vue du concert de gala.

L'alliance pour le musée mondial de l'accordéon, nouvellement créée, tiendra son premier meeting lors de l'assemblée générale des délégués. Des invitations à créer l'alliance seront lancées dans les prochains mois auprès des musées de l'accordéon du monde entier, avec plus d'informations sur les activités et les objectifs du mouvement.

L'alliance pour le musée mondial de l'accordéon est une initiative planétaire placée sous les auspices de la CIA pour coordonner les efforts des musées de l'accordéon et collectionneurs du monde entier. Il souhaite constituer un partenariat international pour la conservation, la protection et la promotion de notre héritage accordéon planétaire. Il est dirigé par Kevin Friedrich (USA), la direction inclut un directeur adjoint : Kimmo Mattila (Finlande) et des membres exécutifs : Raymond Bodell (UK), Harley Jones (Nouvelle-Zélande).


Les délégués de la CIA ont été invités au concert et gala du 70ème anniversaire du célèbre orchestre d'accordéons de Nüremberg Willi Münch e. V., placé sous la direction de Stefan Hippe. Compte rendu complet du concert dans le prochain article.

‘Game Of Thrones’ Star Natalia Tena is an Accordionist – UK

Natalia Tena
Natalia TenaThe band Molotov Jukebox play Fibbers in York tomorrow as Natalia Tena's lively Londoners see out 2016 with seven intimate shows on the ‘Just The Thrill Tour’, named in honour of their latest single. The title could apply to lead singer and accordion player Natalia's feelings as the popular TV drama ‘Game Of Thrones’ star returns to a city where she felt love at first sight.

"York is an incredibly beautiful city. The first time I came to York, I cycled around and it was so beautiful I nearly cried," reveals the 32-year-old London musician and actress. "I came up there about ten years ago with Shared Experience in a play called Bronte at the Theatre Royal, where I played Cathy and Mrs Rochester and had to portray two characters' madness, so I had 17 or 18 costumes and every time I came off stage I had to change costume! It was absolutely mad."

On her return tomorrow, expect sizzling tunes from this spring's ‘Tropical Gypsy’ album, plus carnival vibes and nautical attire as Natalia leads her ferociously energetic band through such Molotov favourites as ‘Pineapple Fruit’ and ‘If I Knew’.

Incorporating newly found sounds collected first hand on a South American tour last year, Molotov Jukebox have added flavours of samba, fohó and cumbia to their existing Balkan influences on their April follow-up to 2014's Carnival Flower.

"We've changed from being a gypsy-step band to saying we're a tropical gypsy band, so our music is now Balkan melodies and instrumentation but with Latin rhythms – and sometimes I'll sing in Spanish as well as English," says Natalia, who is of Spanish descent. "The main thing is that even though the music is 'dancey', the lyrics are often really dark."

Nevertheless, tomorrow's prevailing mood will be high spirited. "We're having a nautical theme on this tour, encouraging people to dress up with a dress code of sexy sirens and salty sea dogs. Take that as you will!" says Natalia, by way of an invitation.

Natalia's show in York revives her memories of a previous visit to Yorkshire at the age of 21 to play Fevvers in Kneehigh's stage adaptation of Angela Carter's ‘Nights At The Circus’ on tour at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds. "That was the show where I said, 'Can I play the accordion on the trapeze?' and I went through a phase where I did this manoeuvre and kept falling off.

"So there I was on this triple trapeze and I fell off again but this time I fell backwards and landed on my feet and from then on I never fell again!"

The trapeze will be absent tonight but the accordion will be present as Natalia and Molotov Jukebox seek thrills, rather than spills, at Fibbers.

Molotov Jukebox's Just The Thrill Tour visits Fibbers, York, tomorrow. Box office: at fibbers.co.uk or molotovjukebox.com or on the door from 7.30pm.

Did you know? Natalia Tena played Nymphadora Tonks in the Harry Potter film series and the wildling Osha in ‘Game Of Thrones’.

Renzo Ruggieri’s version of ‘A Christmas Carol’, Ancona – Italy

Canto Di Natale"If I'm here, Ebenezer Scrooge, it is to warn you that you still have a chance and a hope to save you".

‘Canto di Natale’ is a re-telling of Charles Dickens’ 1843 famous novel ‘A Christmas Carol’, with music composed and played by accordionist Renzo Ruggieri and guitarist Mauro De Federicis, and spoken text by the actor Edoardo Nevola. It tells the story of the miser Scrooge on Christmas Eve who meets the three ghosts of the past, present and future. The CD is available from major digital stores.

The novelist Charles Dickens (1812-70), one of the most important figures in English literature, was also a keen amateur accordion player.

Canto Di Natale is available online as a CD and eTracks mp3 album download at: rruggieri12

Guardian Reader Survey, London – UK

The Guardian newspaper includes articles about readers’ musical choices, and the accordion was recently featured. Excerpts:

Here is this week’s playlist – songs featuring accordion picked from your suggestions.

Accordions are everywhere. From Odessa in Ukraine to Odessa in Texas, from Mombasa to Mumbai, you’ll hear them on street corners and in concert halls. Our first extra-terrestrial contact will probably be with a little green man playing Bobby Shafto on a squeezebox.

I thought selecting this playlist would be relatively easy, a piece of cake: I’d just pick the accordion-based songs and tunes I’ve known and loved and that I’d have nominated myself had I not been in the chair. What could be the problem? People were bound to nominate them – I’d only have to put them into a pleasing running order and write a few words about them.

It turned out to be a lot more difficult than that. Some of my prospective choices did turn up; some songs turned up but with different singers. But all in all, not that many. What I did get was a tumultuous variety. A bit of Havana here, a bit of Kinshasa there. And it set me thinking.
