| July 27th, 28th and 29th are the dates for the three days of the 2012 Accordion Master Class and Concert Series, sponsored by the American Accordionists' Association (AAA), and moderated once more by Dr William Schimmel. The venue is again the Tenri Cultural Institute, 43A West St, 13th St, New York. This year’s series is titled, ‘Redemption: The Radar off the Radar’. Dr Schimmel comments, “… you can find Redemption right smack in the middle of the accordion community. If I sound excited, I am – and it's OK to be excited. It's a new kind of Radar!! And Redemption is waiting for you there. Is it Salvation?? No, not exactly – It's Redemption – sort of like the Halleluiah Chorus played by dozens and dozens of Accordionists – sort of like that – but not exactly.” There will be Master Classes in the afternoon at 3pm, and concerts in the evening at 7pm – featuring a distinguished lineup! In the lobby there will be books, CDs, DVDs, etc, on sale. Concert No. 1 on July 27th, 7pm, includes: ‘New Interactive Video’, by Micki Goodman, with Ms. Goodman - video, dance and choreography, music – Dr Schimmel ‘Star Twinkle – Mix’, by Mozart, Cage, Telstar, Doo Wop, and ‘Sonata for Two Pianos’ (accordion and piano) by Mozart, performed by Dr Gugo Goldenzweig and Dr Schimmel ‘St John Coltrane!’, by Mark Birnbaum/WS, performed by Dr Birnbaum, piano, and Dr Schimmel ‘Kensington’, by Art Baily, ‘Romp III’, by Robert Young McMahon, performed by Dr McMahon – Johanna Cho, piano ‘The Minimal Accordion’, by Michael Century ‘Grieg Goes Indie’, by John Foti, ‘Concerto (excerpts), by Howard Hanson, with Mafoka - Dr Schimmel, piano ‘Der Rosenkavalier’, by Richard Strauss, performed by Dr Schimmel ‘Variations on an Easter Hymn’, by Page Long, performed by Ingrid Kvale plus much more……. creative musical performances!
