Video from the 75th ATG Festival, 60 Years Presentation to Joan C. Sommers - USAby Harley Jones |
 |
 Accordionists & Teachers Guild, International (ATG) 75th Anniversary. This video is the presentation by former CIA President and current CIA Ambassador Kevin Friedrich where he outlines the history of ATG and particularly first ATG competitor to the Coupe Mondiale, Prof. Joan Cochran Sommers.The video covers in brief an amazing 60 years of contribution starting as ATG competitor then delegate and teacher of US champions, jury member and in recent years, CIA World Accordion Orchestra founder and conductor. Presented to Joan C. Sommers by the CIA was a hand made and inscribed book by UK delegate Alison Worthington detailing the very significant 60 years of activity within the CIA by Joan Sommers, who is certainly one of the truly amazing accordionists' of the decades. This well researched speech and presentation for the CIA and ATG by Kevin Friedrich is a historic moment that we have been lucky enough to capture on video. Many thanks to Mike Roche (California) for the professional quality videos, Dan Grauman for the editing and to Bruce Lawrie (Texas), sound engineer and photographer. |
