L'association Atout Vent Course and Concert, Brittany – Franceby Rob Howard |
 |
| For the 4th consecutive year, the association Atout Vent organized an accordion training course at the Domaine de Kermenguy in Lézardrieux, Brittany, from August 22nd to 29th. The team of teachers included Angélique Goardou, Delphine Doublot, Camille Privat, Alexander Monnier, Nicolas Lebret, and Damien Petiteau. There were 27 students present, who came from all parts of France. Some of the students were preparing for competitions, and others were seeking self improvement as musicians. The trainees took part in different workshops that included tango, musical formation, and accordion styles, and all participated in an accordion orchestra. The course proved very beneficial for all involved. During the week of training a concert took place in the Cathedral of Tréguier. This concert began with a tango performed by the students and their workshop teacher, Delphine Doublot. Young classical virtuoso Sébastien Taillard, preparing for his Diploma of Musical Etude in accordion and in percussion, gave a solo performance. Maryll Abbas, a student of Camille Privat, dazzled the audience with an entertaining jazz set. She is currently preparing for the International Grand Prix of Castelfidrado in Italy. To close the concert, Camille Privat, winner of the CMA Trophée Mondial de l’Accordéon, interpreted some pieces of the Baroque era and Viatcheslav Semionov. Camille has recently recorded a double CD of variety and classical music. Alexander Monnier, MD of the orchestra, came to rejoin the musicians for a final number that made the audience of about 450 people sing. For further information email: atout.vent@yahoo.fr |
