Alain Papineau 向美国世界手风琴博物馆捐赠 - 美国by Harley Jones |
世界手风琴博物馆 (World of Accordions Museum) 很激动地宣布他们收到了来自 Alain Papineau 捐赠的古董手风琴收藏品,其中包括350件来自 Cyril Demian 获得第一项专利(1829年)后的那个世纪的最稀有、最美丽的乐器。 这一捐赠加上目前在博物馆主楼展出的1400个自由簧片aerphoner和哈林顿艺术中心的750个藏品,正式肯定了威斯康辛州 Superior 机构是世界上最大和最全面的收藏品机构。约70件新藏品暂时陈列在音乐厅的“特别展品”区,可供参观者预约观赏。 This spectacular windfall acquisition has a decades-long history. In a 1997 meeting, museum curator Helmi Strahl Harrington, Ph.D., met accordion enthusiast Alain Papineau (World Bank architect) and viewed his Washington D.C. collection. A quarter-century later, Papineau offered Harrington the gifts of his lifelong searches, most instruments of which are not described in organological references. Along with the accordions and concertinas were 90 boxes of music and supportive reference materials that will greatly supplement the museum’s books and recordings libraries. 这是目前对博物馆的最新的一次大型捐献,其中还包括了众多音乐家的乐器。 |
