Запуск новой модели цифрового аккордеона Roland FR4 V-Accordion, 9 сентября, Париж – Францияby Harley Jones |
 |
| Roland пишет: «Будущее. Переустановка» – это 24-часовое онлайн мероприятие, отличное от всего, что вы видели раньше. В рамках прямой трансляции из восьми разных городов мира (Париж, Токио, Лос-Анджелес, Нью-Йорк, Торонто, Берлин, Окленд и Брюссель) Roland запустил новое поколение своих электронных инструментов в режиме реального времени». На знаменитой Эйфелевой башне в Париже компания Roland представила новый ‘Roland FR4 V-Accordion’ – совершенно новую модель, в которой используются высококачественный набор звуков модели FR8X. FR8X остается флагманом модельного ряда электронных баянов и аккордеонов V-Accordion., в то время как новый FR4 является чуть более простой моделью, за ней следует более легкий и компактный FR3, а FR1, предназначенный для начального уровня, завершает модельный ряд этих инструментов с разным уровнем цен. Новый Roland FR4 был продемонстрирован в рамках концерта Сэма Гарсии (Sam Garcia), после чего Сэм Гарсия и Шон Монтгомери (менеджер по клавишной продукции ‘Roland Europe Group’) дали интервью, в котором объяснили и продемонстрировали многие особенности этой новой модели. Где бы вы ни были, вы можете бесплатно посмотреть эту презентацию на специальном веб-сайте: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/PG8m95Hty9b Вскоре видео с запуском нового инструмента также появится и на нашем сайте. |

Чествование д-ра Уиляма Шиммеля (Dr. William Schimmel) в Университете Уильям Патерсон – СШАby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 |
 19 сентября 2016 года в аудитории ‘Shea Auditorium’ Университета Уильям Патерсон состоится бесплатный концерт в честь 70-летия д-ра Уильям Шиммеля. Концерт спонсируется музыкальным факультетом Университета, Конкордансом композиторов и Ансамблем ударных инструментов Нью-Джерси. В рамках концерта прозвучит современная музыка в честь Билла Шиммеля, который создал и впервые исполнил множество сочинений.Программа, режиссером которой выступит Питер Джарвис, будет включать восемь мировых премьер. Наряду с музыкой, написанной самим Шиммелем, будут представлены композиции Джона Кларка, Дэна Купера, Франца Хакла, Джарвиса, Джина Прицкер, Дэвида Тейлора и Пэйтона Макдональда. Средт исполнителей Уильям Шиммер, Джин Прицкер (гитара), Ансамбль ударных инструментов Нью-Джерси и трио ‘B3 + Brass Trio’. Билл Шиммель начал заниматься на аккордеоне в детстве, затем посещал Джульярдскую школу музыки, где получил докторскую степень в области композиции. В то время, когда он был еще студентом Школы, началась его карьера – после того, как он записал сочинения авангардного композитора Лучано Берио. Доктор Шиммель также исполнил на аккордеоне и записал все музыку Курта Вайля. Начиная с 1981 года его танго-проект выпустил ряд нашумевших записей под лэйблами ‘Nonesuch’ и ‘Newport Classic’. Первая запись танго-проекта заняла 1 место в классических чартах ‘Billboard’ и был названа записью года по версии журнала ‘Stereo Review’. Шиммель также является модератором/куратором мастер-классов и концертных серий, проводимых Американской Ассоциацией Аккордеонистов (ААА). В 2016 году эти мероприятия успешно прошли в 22 раз. Он служил и продолжает служить в качестве артиста в резиденции AAA, где он также работает как заслуженный преподаватель в резиденции и член Совета Управления ААА. На протяжении всей своей долгой карьеры Шиммель представлял аккордеон зрителям, благодаря своим выступлениям (с собственными композициями и произведениями других авторов), премьерам новых сочинений, успешным записям, выступлениям в театре и кино (как соло, так и с другими музыкантами), всегда проходящим со значительным успехом. Этот концерт станет заслуженным признанием многих музыкальных достижений Уильяма Шиммеля. |
Аукцион в память о Кавалере ордена Британской Империи Сэре Джимми Шэнде (Sir Jimmy Shand), Глазго – Великобританияby Rob Howard |
 |
 Легенда шотландской гармоники, Кавалер ордена Британской Империи Сэр Джимми Шэнд, который был лучшим экспортируемым шотландским музыкантом и самым плодовитым аккордеонистом в стиле шотландской танцевальной музыки, родился 28 января 1908 года и скончался 23 декабря 2000 года. Он оставил свою музыку для будущих поколений, которой можно насладиться не только на компакт-дисках, но и в Интернете, и на видео, кроме того, все его многочисленные композиции были опубликованы.И теперь его сын Джимми Шэнд младший объявил о том, что в пятницу 16 сентября 2016 года в Глазго в рамках аукциона ‘Mctears Auctions’ состоится аукцион памяти его отца. Среди многочисленных предметов, выставленных на аукцион, ранние модели мелодионов, купленные Джимми, сценическая одежда из его шоу, Золотые диски, фотографии, «большая красная книга», подаренная Джимми в 1978 году ведущим Эамоном Эндрюсом во время телепередачи BBC «Это твоя жизнь» ("This Is Your Life") и еще много всего. Несмотря на то, что ожидается интерес представителей разных стран мира, есть надежда, что большинство покупателей будут представлять его родную Шотландию, так что некоторая часть его личной истории может быть сохранена и, возможно, выставлена для обзора. Заинтересованные участники должны связаться с аукционом ‘Mctears’ по прямому телефону 0141-810-2880 или написать по электронной почте Виктории Ирвин (Victoria Irvine): enquiries@mctears.co.uk |

Tom Alexander was Guest of Honour at the concert, which proved to be a great occasion and a sell-out. Tom Alexander rose to fame in the 1950s with his late brother Jack, a vocalist and pianist, as The Alexander Brothers, and their worldwide fame through concerts, tours, recordings and DVDs brought them great success. Tom, an All Scotland Champion in the 1950s, is widely recognised as one of the finest accordionists of his era. Leonard Brown, from Newcastle, became only the second Englishman to become All Scotland Accordion Champion in 2012 (Robert Whitehead was the first in 1978). He has emerged as one the best young accordionists on the Accordion & Fiddle Club scene. For further information email: leonardbrownaccordion@gmail.com |

 The Accordion Man plaque, designed by Mandy Reekie, was officially unveiled last Saturday by St Albans Mayor, Councillor Frances Leonard. The plaque is in honor of the late Paddy Delaney, an accordion player who busked at St Albans market for more than 30 years, who died last year. Following his death a petition was set up to install a plaque in his memory close to where he busked on Upper Dagnall Street, St Albans. It received more than 1,000 signatures and a charity busking day last year raised £1,700 to fund the plaque, which was installed recently. Mayor Leonard said: “One of the roles of a Mayor is to champion the city we live in, local charities, and events. The 'Plaque for Paddy' campaign represents all of those things in bucket loads. “I’m thrilled to officially unveil the plaque in honor of Paddy Delaney and the contribution he made to our city through music.” |

 The UK accordion scene is shocked and saddened at the news of the sudden death of Adrienne Griffiths, who passed away in her sleep whilst attending the St Audries Bay Folk Week.Adrienne Griffiths, from Southampton, Hampshire, discovered the accordion at the age of 10 and formed an immediate attachment to it; to such an extent that her father decided to “cash in” his pension in order to buy her a Hohner Atlantic (a sacrifice she never forgot). By her 16th birthday she had progressed through all the BCA (Practical and Theory) examinations up to and including Grade 8. Her teacher was Colin Whitfield. One of her great loves was playing dance music and in 1964 she formed her own three piece band, which for many years performed in the Southampton area. She also competed for many years in the NAO Area and UK Championships, and in February 2016 won the Veterans Musette section at the Northern Ireland Championships. Adrienne was very active in the UK accordion scene, teaching, conducting, festival workshop leader, playing for ceilidhs, and solo performances at charity concerts and fund raising events, etc. She was also a member of the Crawley Accordion Orchestra, the Bournemouth Accordion Orchestra, and the Stour Valley Accordion Group. In recent times she has to France and Germany as an invited guest with the Kennett Accordion Orchestra. In 2010 she founded the South Hampshire Accordion Club, and was its Musical Director and organiser. Adrienne was widowed, and the mother of Barbara Proud and a grandmother. R.I P. |

 Two new works have been released by well known UK composer and performer Douglas Ward, published by Charnwood Publishing. Catalog No: DW936 Aria No. 1 Standard: Grade 5 Approximate playing time: 2 mins This composition starts quietly, with a treble motif that is slightly haunting in character. It is written in D minor, but travels through several bass chord changes to end in its relative major key – D major. It encourages a really emotional interpretation, almost with the freedom of rubato. The basses take the performer through a range of both solo notes and chords with bass and counter-bass notes, with a few surprises and a melodic ending that almost fades away. The composition requires good bellows control and fingering, and includes numerous phrasing and articulation guidelines. Catalog No: DW937 About Time Standard: Grade 6 Approximate playing time: 2 mins 20 secs This jazzy piece is written mainly in 5/4 with an occasional bar or more in 4/4 time, and is written in Eb major. It helps the performer to count with ease because the treble melody is set in phrases that simply flow well across established time zones. The treble melody has, in part, an underlying melodic counterpart. The bass accompaniment includes a catchy two-bar solo (and a little surprise key change), accents and tied notes to support the swinging feel and rhythmic content. It is based on only one three-note chord, so it can be played on both standard bass and free bass instruments. The Douglas Ward page is now listing over 80 compositions and arrangements of eSheet and printed music available from Charnwood Publishing. Purchase with credit card online. |

During the years I have noticed a growing need of a ”shortcut” to perfected technique because of the long time it takes to study the conventional way. That’s the reason why I have created this book of technique for accordions. This is no treatise, but a ”shortcut” to improved playing skills by practicing what is the most effective at the shortest of time. |
