 On Saturday November 3rd, from 2pm to 5pm, the Accordion Revolution Club (some members above) in Williamsburg, Virginia, will host an afternoon with Joan Grauman (picture left). There will be an opening reception with refreshments and a display of Joan’s collection of ‘The Accordion in Media’, an extensive collection of advertisements and greeting cards spanning nine decades. Further information about the extensive accordion career of Joan Grauman is in the current USA News.The two workshops will be: 1. ‘The Early Years of the Piano Accordion in the US: A Look at Pietro Frosini and Anthony Galla-Rini’. Joan Grauman, historian for the American Accordionists’ Association (AAA) will speak about the amazing contributions of these two pioneers of the accordion. 2. ‘Playing Ethnic Music Authentically’ Attendees will be able to print out sheet music prior to the workshop and familiarize themselves with pieces of music from Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Austria and Rumania (a Jewish Klezmer tune). During the workshop, Joan will demonstrate ornaments, accents, and the other subtle nuances that ‘authenticate’ the folk music of these regions. She will have a hand-out that provides information on the folk music from each region represented. The Accordion Revolution Club welcomes all and there will be no charge for the afternoon of workshops. For further information phone Jim Rice: (757) 880-3308 or email: jimricevt@gmail.com |
