Krist Novoselic der Nirvanas und das Akkordeon, New York - USA


Krist NovoselicDer 48 jährige Krist Novoselic, bekannt als Bassist und Gründungsmitglied von Nirvana (American Grunge-Band von 1987 bis 1994 ) ist ein großer Fan des Akkordeons.

In einem Interview im Jahr 2012 sagte Krist : . ? . "Ich bin besessen vom Akkordeon, so wie manche Menschen dunkle Obsessionen haben, die manchmal peinlich oder sogar selbstzerstörerisch sein können, ist meine Obsession das Akkordeonspiel. Ich spiele es und täglich und dann manchmal sogar für Stunden. Polkas, Beatles und Rolling Stones und Nirvana -Songs. "

Am 9. März 2014 spielte Krist Lorde Hit " Royals " auf dem Akkordeon Während einer Show im Takoma Park in Maryland als Teil der Fair- Vote -Kampagne.

Zwei Videos von Krist Novoselic können Sie oben konsultieren. Diese Art von Musik ist vielleicht nicht jedermanns Geschmack, aber es zieht die Aufmerksamkeit eines jüngeren Publikums an und zeigt die Vielfalt des Instrumentes.

Nirvana wurde bei einer Zeremonie in April 2014 in New York City in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen, so wie schon Peter Gabriel, Hall und Oates, KISS und Linda Ronstadt. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Nirvana Krist Novoselic und vor allem für die Rock Hall of Fame.

Record Entries, Accordion Orchestras/Ensembles Championships - Finland

According to Rhythm Juniors (conductor Henna-Maija Vannemaa), Nivala
Finland hosted its national championships for accordion orchestras and ensembles, attracting a record 23 orchestras and ensembles, the most ever participating since the competition's inception in the 1970s. The Sibelius-opisto (music school) in Hämeenlinna jointly hosted the event together with the Finnish Accordion Association.

The competition featured four categories: orchestra (own category for young players born 1998 and younger), ensemble, pop/jazz and dance music, performing a wide variety of music from traditional dance music, folk to classical.

Renowned Finnish accordionist Matti Rantanen (Director of the accordion Department at the Sibelius Academy) served as Chairperson of the Jury, and he was assisted by Satu Salmenaho, Mika Hakala and Erkki Friman.

Matti Rantanen commented "It was very daring to play traditional Finnish classical music by Sibelius with an accordion orchestra, however Reijo Ahonen, the Conductor of Sibelius-opisto Accordion Orchestra presented this work in a very high level. I also liked a lot the interpretation of Pirates of Caribbean played by According to Rhythm (conductor Henna-Maija Vannemaa) and that it was very delightful to see the youngest children (5-7 years old) play. The future accordion and accordion orchestras in Finland is guaranteed!”
