Picture above: Augustinas Rakauskas, Greta Staponkute-Rakau, Neringa Radenaite Picture right: Rita Barnea & Augustinas Rakauskas On Sunday, March 8, 2019 we attended a fascinating, informative, entertaining and excellent event sponsored by the Philadelphia Chapter of the Lithuanian American Community, Inc. We were attending the 30th Anniversary of Lithuanian Independence celebration with a concert by Tutto a Dio with Augustinas Rakauskas (accordion), Greta Staponkute-Rakau (viola) plus Neringa Radenaite (soprano), a fabulous, virtuosic performance by all three. Additionally, there were choral and dance presentations by the Lithuanian community. All ages performed ranging from a children’s choir with the youngest being three years old, adult choir, and dance groups of all ages. The Lithuanian Ambassador to the United Nations opened the program. An informative film highlighting the contributions of Lithuanians to all fields of life was shown. The people who attended were mostly from the local Lithuanian community and are very proud of their heritage. Augustinas, speaking his native Lithuanian, introduced the selections in a friendly manner. The beginning of his program was very dramatic and impressive. The three musicians entered from the back of the hall, each one performing as they walked down the aisle to the front of the stage. Included in their program were native folk songs which the audience sang to. Even though we could not understand the words, the feelings expressed were very loving and emotional. Augustinas and Greta share, “This year (officially on March 11) is the 30th Anniversary when Lithuania has regained its independence. Our goal for this 30th Anniversary of Lithuania is to make Thirty-Concert tour. This includes additional concerts in Switzerland and Lithuania too. One club had to cancel at the last moment so this is why you can see only 29 concerts on the list: 2020Anniversary.pdf |

The Importance of Early Age Music Education - Italyby Harley Jones |
Video: Francesco Palazzo explains the crowdfunding campaign – Italian speech with English subtitles. A crowdfunding campaign for purchasing small accordions for children aged from 3 to 10 years old is currently underway organised by Francesco Palazzo (picture left). Francesco believes the ideal age to begin music lessons is from 3 to 6 years old, however there are few classical accordion models available that are suitable for children of this age group. In addition instruments are too expensive for a small child. Francesco Palazzo would like to design a special model of accordion suitable for these young children in kindergarten and primary schools. They will be entirely Made in Italy. The aim is to manufacture and hire these instruments out at a special low rate so parents do not have the expense of buying an instrument. The money received will go towards buying further instruments. If you would like to support this project, they will treasure your help which will not only support the development of the accordion, but also many young musicians of the future.

¿Qué estás haciendo para el Día Mundial del Acordeón? - Internacionalby Harley Jones |
¿Qué estás haciendo para el Día Mundial del Acordeón (World Accordion Day) para promover el acordeón en tu país? El día mundial del acordeón es el 6 de mayo, que es el día en que se patentó el acordeón en 1829. El Día Mundial del Acordeón fue iniciado en el 2009 por la CIA y ha tenido mucho éxito, generando mucha publicidad positiva para el acordeón. Una parte clave de este evento es el sitio web del Día Mundial del Acordeón. A cada asociación, grupo, orquesta, intérprete y maestro, se le pide que apoye activamente este evento alentando que se realicen este día actividades de acordeón nacional y local en su país o el fin de semana a ambos lados del Día del Acordeón, si eso fuera más conveniente. Todos pueden registrar su actividad del Día Mundial del Acordeón en el sitio web y luego enviar un informe de su evento para ese sitio web. Ningún evento es demasiado grande o demasiado pequeño. TODOS los eventos de acordeón que celebran el Día Mundial del Acordeón (World Accordion Day) son bienvenidos. Esta es una promoción de la CIA para el acordeón en el que todos los entusiastas del acordeón pueden participar y ayudar a unir nuestro mundo de acordeón y promover el acordeón. |
