ATAM 58th New England Virtual Music Competition – USAby Christine Johnstone |
The Accordion Teachers Association of Massachusetts (ATAM) held their 2020 New England Virtual Music Competition recently with over 800 entries competing virtually. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the association was unable to hold this event at the Boston Marriott Newton in March this year, and had to transition to a virtual competition. This event usually draws 2,000-3,000 people over the competition weekend. With this transition to a virtual competition, the students who had worked so hard to prepare their competition pieces were still able to perform. The competition included categories for accordion, bass, drums, guitar, piano, voice, and violin players for students and adults. The Accordion Teachers Association of Massachusetts (ATAM), which sponsors this event, also distributes cash awards and scholarships. This year’s annual music scholarship was awarded to Miriam Felzenstein (a student of Carol Adamski-Maggi’s at Falcetti Music). Download results: 2020ATAM.pdf |

New Article: 40 Years after the Dream Came True - 1980 Coupe Mondialeby Kevin Friedrich, CIA Ambassador |
1980 Historical website Report, Pictures and Results at: 1980CoupeMondialeHistory "Could we in New Zealand, host the Coupe Mondiale? Would it not be a great event both for New Zealand and the accordion?" These were questions posed to a group of New Zealand Accordion Association (NZAA) committee members in the late 1970s by prominent Auckland lawyer, Gerald Ryan, who was a keen supporter of the accordion movement, with several of his children learning the instrument. With added encouragement from Harley Jones and his father Allan, both of whom had considerable contact with overseas accordion organizations, it became first a feasibility study and finally developed into a definite project. 1980 Historical website Report, Pictures and Results at: 1980CoupeMondialeHistory |
