 The Accordions Worldwide news for December 11th 1998 included two reports concerning accordion concerts in Japan. The article below is about a Klezmer Consort tour. The other article, titled Exile Mini Concert, contributed by Toru Katou, is about two forthcoming concerts featuring accordionist Norimichi Nagasaka on December 12th at Higashi Osaka City. On December 25th Norimichi Nagasaka was scheduled to perform with piper Tesshin Kaneko at a ‘Christmas Chapel Concert’ at the Toyo Hotel, Osaka. Accordions Worldwide invites news from Japan. We know that there are many active Japanese accordionists, and would love to report more of their performances. KANSAS CITY KLEZMER CONSORT RETRUNS FROM TOUR OF JAPAN Contributed by Kevin Friedrich On November 30th the Kansas City Klezmer Consort returned home after concluding a highly successful seven-concert tour of Japan with performances in Tokyo, Chiba, Iwaki, Numazu, Tanashi, and Tachikawa. The four-member group comprising Eric Tishkoff (clarinet), Kayo Hasekawa (violin), Juha Silfverberg (accordion, picture left) (pictured above) and Gay Lee Ludwig Bonney (double bass) performed its unique blend of klezmer, classical, and folk music, which was enthusiastically received by the Japanese audiences. While in Japan, Juha Silfverberg had the pleasure of meeting several accordionists including the President of the Tashikawa accordion organisation Keiko Okawa. Now back in the United States, the group will begin working on their first CD recording. |
