25th Anniversary of First Accordion Orchestra Tour to China - New Zealandby Heather Masefield |
Last weekend, was the 25th Anniversary celebration of the Air New Zealand Accordion Orchestra tour to China in 1988. At that time, the orchestra sponsored by Air New Zealand was a New Zealand Cultural Ambassador promoting tourism to beautiful New Zealand. Such was the international interest in accordion activities in China, that the American Accordionists Association (AAA) President Faithe Deffner also came on the tour and made a report to the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) about the remarkable accordion activities in China. This was the 5th International Goodwill Concert Tour by the Air New Zealand Accordion Orchestra and went to Australia, Singapore, the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong. After performing extensively at the World Expo '88 in Brisbane (over 30 concerts) the Orchestra was greatly honored to be the first foreign accordion orchestra to perform in the People's Republic of China, a country in 1988, where more people play accordion than in any other country. Performances included full concert programs in the Beijing and Shanghai Concert Halls, each fully televised as well as in Xian and Canton cities. The tour concluded with several concerts and television appearances in Hong Kong. The orchestra players, average age 16 years, played their complete 80 minute program from memory and today, accordion orchestras in China often play from memory. Conductor Fay-Ellen Schaw thanked all those present for their dedication and efforts to achieve a superb standard (standing ovations on 4 continents of the world) and for making such concert tours possible at that time. CD's of the orchestra are available at: http://www.musicforaccordion.com/inform/anzao/index.htm |

A very nice condolence message by Kevin Friedrich: My sincerest condolences to the entire family, Joe and Amy's many friends, as everyone comes to terms with this tragic loss. I will always value the wonderful memories of music, travel and friendship with Amy, an integral part of our accordion family. From my freshman year at UMKC in 1980 when she would take us horseback riding on the farm, to the many concert tours within the USA and abroad with the UMKC Accordion Orchestra, to the social travel and ski trips, Amy was always a joy to be around. She cherished her family and friends, and always contributed unquestioningly to whatever projects she was involved with. A wonderful musician, a delightful social butterfly and an inspiring friend, her radiant spirit will live on through the music she loved so much, continuing to bring joy to those it touches. Thanks for being a friend. ~ Kevin Friedrich - September 10, 2013 Amy is survived by her daughter, Kaley Irene Hatfield-Hayes, 12, her son, Ryan Allen Hatfield-Hayes, 11; her mother, Carol June Hatfield of Thayer and her brother, Raymond Hatfield of Kansas City, Missouri. Many members of the UMKC Accordion Orchestra who had played with Amy in the group over many years while performing extensively throughout the USA and abroad, will join together to perform the music at the funeral services. A Memorial Service will be held at the Thayer United Methodist Church, 203 N. Okmulgee, Thayer, Kansas, on Tuesday, September 17, at 2:00 p.m. Interment will be at the Thayer Cemetery.
