Frederic Deschamps and Grayson Masefield in Chile - South America

Ernesto CalderonLast month Frederic Deschamps and Grayson Masefield were invited to the Conservatoire National Accordion Santiago, Chile to conduct masterclasses and concerts.

Music occupies an important place in the culture of this country and crowds can suddenly become street bands without having discussed the idea of playing something together.

Ernesto Calderon (picture left top) organized in collaboration with the National Conservatory, the First National Accordion Contest Chilean. Accordionists from all around Chile found themselves in the capital Santiago and Daniel Rodriguez Calderon Hernann (picture lower left) was the first winner.

Grayson Masefield performed classical and variety concerts around Santiago and had the chance to play with three ensembles including Ernesto Calderon’s group ‘Ensemble Transtlantico de Folk Chileno’ (picture below with Frederic Deschamps).

The competition and seminars led to the discovery of great new talent and 3 accordionists will travel next February to study in France with Frederic Deschamps to discover his teaching techniques and participate in international competitions.

You will be able to follow the evolution of the Chilean artists on the ‘Deschamps Channel’ from February 2013 until the organization of the upcoming Trophee Mondiale 2016 (CMA ) in Chile to follow!

Grayson eTracks MP3 album of classical and entertainment works is available at: Grayson Masefield
