10-й международный аккордеонный фестиваль и конкурс ‘Victoria’ – Канадаby Harley Jones |
 |
| Специальные гости: Грейсон Мейсфилд (Grayson Masefield, Новая Зеландия), Тянь Цзианань (Tian Jianan, Китай) и Елена Милоевич (Jelena Milojevic, Канада). Международный конкурс аккордеонистов «Виктория 2016» состоится 30 июля. В рамках конкурса пройдут прослушивания в одной ансамблевой и 6 сольных категориях. Уже получены заявки из Европы, Южной Америки, Китая и Северной Америки. Дата окончания приема заявок – 30 июня 201 года – определяется по почтовому штемпелю. В этом году Международный аккордеонный фестиваль-конкурс «Виктория» празднует свое 10-летие. За предыдущие 9 лет фестиваль упрочил свое положение, а самым большим достижением фестиваля является хостинг 66-ого международного конкурса «Кубок мира 2013» с участием сотен аккордеонистов со всего мира, демонстрирующих свои таланты как для зрителей в зале, так и для огромной интернет аудитории. Гостями предыдущих фестивалей становились: Людовик Бейер (Ludovic Beier), Ансамбль ‘Concertino’, квартет ‘Quartetto Gelatto’, Фрэнк Марокко (Frank Marocco), Грейсон Мейсфилд (Grayson Masefield), Елена Милоевич (Jelena Milojevic), Ренцо Руджиери (Renzo Ruggieri), Александр Севастьян, трио «Воронеж», Всемирный аккордеонный оркестр под управлением Джоан Соммерс (Joan Sommers). Вот лишь некоторые имена, которые восхищали публику фестиваля за прошедшее десятилетие. В этом году юбилейный фестиваль вновь приветствует назад двух выдающихся исполнителей молодого поколения – Грейсона Мейсфилда (аккордеон) и Тянь Цзианань (баян). К ним присоединится Елена Милоевич, художественный руководитель фестиваля, которая также является победительницей международных конкурсов. Эти три исполнителя за свою карьеру завоевали в сумме более 50 международных наград, и их концерт станет запоминающимся событием. Что касается ансамблей, на фестиваль был приглашен известный ансамбль из Молдовы ‘Concertino’, но их участие пока остается под вопросом. Впервые на «Викторию» приедет ансамбль из Чили ‘Los Del Mapocho', который представит публике чилийского традиционную музыку. В фестивале также примут участие Оркестр Аккордеонистов Британской Колумбии, Аккордеонный Ансамбль Морина Яроша (Maureen Jarosh), Ансамбль Аккордеонного клуба Виктории, Букан Букан (Bucan Bucan), Мэри Росс-Клектау ( Mary Ross-Klektau) и многие другие местные группы. Аккордеонное Сообщество Британской Колумбии, организатор фестиваля с 2010 года, предоставил любителям аккордеона множество причин провести незабываемую неделю в красивом городе Виктория, Британская Колумбия, в период с 26 по 31 июля 2016 года. Подробное расписание мероприятий будет опубликовано в ближайшее время. Дополнительная информация по e-mail: contact@bcaccordion.ca |

| The German Harmonica and Accordion Museum has recently been reopened. Nearly 25,000 different harmonicas from all over the world are represented in all aspects and variations, many having a high cultural and historic value. The ingenuity and adaption of current trends which created models like the ‘Zeppelin’ and ‘Banana’ harmonica are displayed in a modern well designed setting and are lovingly preserved by curator Martin Huffier, and make up the largest single collection in the world. There is also a huge permanent display of some 500 square metres with a large variety of piano and diatonic accordions, as well as the history of these fabulous instruments. One can see the construction of the instruments and the history of their cultural development. The museum tour ends with an attractive multi-media room where movies, documentaries and lectures are also given. A visit includes the story of Matthias Hohner, his rise to fortune and the assimilation of his numerous competitors. The museum (Deutsches Harmonikamuseum) is housed at the former factory building on the original Hohner factory site, Hohnerstraße 4/1, 78647 Trossingen, Germany.

 Monday May 23rd was a very pleasant sunny day thus creating a nice relaxing atmosphere for the evening concert with Jovan Rnjak. Jovan has been to our club before so we were familiar with his singing and playing and especially with his face as he always looks relaxed and smiling. The concert began with him singing a selection of popular songs that we were familiar with and able to join in. After the interval Ray Izod took to the stage and played a selection of what I call ‘Accordion Classics’ which went down very well with our members. We do not hear many of the classics these days but Ray enjoys playing them and has certainly improved on his repertoire since he retired from his job. I still miss the old days of the accordion when accordion music ruled and tunes such as ‘The Waltz of the Flowers’, ‘Entry of the Gladiators’ and the many Souza marches were performed on a regular basis. As announced, Jovan returned and began to play many of my favourites including ‘Czardas’ and ‘Dark Eyes’. He then changed to singing popular Tom Jones songs and finished with the old favourite sing-along tunes - Jovan is an excellent accordionist. Our club has decided to go ahead with a recruiting campaign to attract new members and hopefully some young members. A whole page in a local magazine plus inviting new members to join and to encourage them, Barry Smith has made an offer of free lessons and the loan of an accordion. The loan of an accordion also applies to members. The Black Country Accordion Club meets on alternate Mondays, 7.30pm, at The Rowley Regis Disability Centre in Rowley Regis, near Birmingham. Future dates include accordionist and comedian Alan Stott on June 27th, and the Kyiv Duo, on tour from the Ukraine, on July 25th. For further information email: lumicprod@aol.com |

| The Accordions Worldwide News for June 7th 2002 included news of an accordion master class held in Bulgaria. This event made history as the first event of its kind held in a President's apartment – see below. Successful Accordion Master Class – Bulgaria Contributed by Diana Stancheva, Accordion Magic A six day accordion master class, directed by Yugoslavian teacher, performer and composer Zoran Bojanic took place recently in the magnificent hall of the hotel complex ‘Kamenitza’ in Plovdiv, organized by the Bulgarian Organization of Accordionists. Over 25 accordionists and teachers from seven Bulgarian towns participated in the event. Being an excellent professional, and with his modesty, tact and generosity, Zoran Bojanic won the love of everybody and gave all of them knowledge and aesthetic pleasure. Due to an error the original venue was double booked for the final two days of the seminar, so the hotel complex generously offered the President's apartment of the hotel and the master class continued there. It is believed that this is the first time in the world that an accordion master class has been held in a President's apartment! |

| Romano Viazzani (accordion), John Bailey (piano), Yaron Stavi (double bass), Corinna Hentschel (violin) and Jonathan Preiss (guitar) have formed a new Tango quintet which will make its debut at The London Encounter, ETC venues, 155 Bishopsgate, London on Saturday June 11th. The ensemble will play in the musical part of the cultural event called ‘Music and the ‘other’’, which starts at 7.30pm. They will be performing the whole of Astor Piazzolla’s ‘Ángel Suite’ (Milonga del Ángel, Muerte del Ángel, Resurrección del Ángel). It is hoped that this will be the first of many tango-oriented concerts in the future. Romano Viazzani recorded this suite on a CD as solo accordion pieces, but this is the first time any of the musicians involved, who have all played in tango before, have performed it in with the original line-up Piazzolla scored for (if you allow a bit of artistic licence for the accordion playing the bandoneon part). Yaron Stavi frequently plays double bass with no less than Richard Galliano himself, and Corinna Hentschel had her own Piazzolla Ensemble in her native Germany.
