‘World Accordion Day’ Interviews, Staffordshire – UK

Steve and StefanNorth Staffs AC marked World Accordion Day, May 6th, with interviews on local radio. The chat about accordions made a welcome for listeners’ relief from the otherwise relentless coverage of the General Election.

The day began with an interview at 7.30am with Pete Morgan on BBC Radio Stoke, involving NSAC chairman Steve Hughes and accordionist Stefan Andrusyschyn. The chat with host Pete Morgan flowed smoothly, and included a brilliant rendition of a shortened Strauss’s ‘Blue Danube’ by Stefan, which drew applause from the studio staff. Following a photo shoot Steve and Stefan left having, I believe, given good representation for the instrument and the club.

The calculated listening audience was about 10,000. On the way out Steve Hughes had a phone call from Ben Lowe, who was directing the news program for the MA course in media studies at Stafford University and, having heard the broadcast on Radio Stoke, invited the NSAC duo take part that afternoon.

From Radio Stoke, Steve and Stefan were featured on programs at the nearby Signal Radio, with Doug Wood on Signal Radio 2, followed by Signal Radio 1 with Perry and Louise. In both cases Stefan did a marvelous job, doing all the talking and playing ‘Misty’ and ‘Hot and Cold’.

In the afternoon the NSAC duo to Stafford University, where they appeared on screen in a programme introduced as being ‘World Accordion Day’. Stefan was asked about the instrument and how long he had played – following the pattern of the previous interviews. He followed the questions with a brief rendition of ‘Czardas’. Hopefully, these interviews and music will have caught the attention of many listeners in the county.

8th Annual Carmen Carrozza Scholarship Fund Event - USA

AAA banner
The American Accordionists' Association held an extremely successful fundraising event at the Magnanini Winery in Wallkill, New York, on Sunday, May 2nd, where over 200 attendees enjoyed an outstanding afternoon of accordion music, set to wine tasting and dinner.

The 8th Annual event of its kind at the Winery, the money raised is placed in the AAA Carmen Carrozza Scholarship Fund, which will be used for the advancement of promising young accordionists and commissioning new works for the accordion.

For the past 8 years, the Carrozza Scholarship Fund has awarded thousands of dollars to talented young accordionists throughout the USA and abroad. These young accordionists have gone on to further studies and have become award-winning performers and educators.

A past president of the AAA, Carmen Carrozza is well known as one of the greatest exponents of the accordion in the classical field. He studied under Pietro Deiro, who was one of the pioneers of the accordion in the United States. He appeared as soloist with the Boston Pops Orchestra, under the direction of Arthur Fiedler, the Cincinnati Orchestra, Buffalo Symphony Orchestra, and the National Symphony at Kennedy Center (Washington D.C.). He also appeared with the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Andre Kostelanetz, premiering the 'Rubaiyat', written by Alan Hovhaness and narrated by Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in Washington DC, and for former NYC Mayor John Lindsay in New York.

He performed in concert throughout Europe and was presented with a gold medal in Italy after an outstanding performance at the Teatro di Pavia. One of the high points in Carmen Carrozza's distinguished career was a concert in Town Hall in New York City where he performed all original accordion works by many outstanding American composers including Robert Russell Bennett, Paul Creston, Virgil Thompson, and many others.

AAA Board member Ray Oreggia was the Master of Ceremonies (picture above) introducing AAA President Linda Soley Reed to open the event. The featured guest artist was 2009 Coupe Mondiale winner from New Zealand, Grayson Masefield. He presented a varied program of virtuoso selections and was warmly welcomed with many standing ovations. Special guests from New Zealand, Accordions Worldwide founder, Harley Jones, was also in attendance at the event along with Tony Davies-Jones. Other artistes included well known accordionist Mario Tacca and International vocalist Mary Mancini, Dominic Karcic ,Ray Oreggia, Anita and Bob Siarkowski, Bob Vitale, Frank Carozza, Frank Toscano, Beverly Roberts Curnow, Robert McMahan, Eddie Monteiro, Mary Tokarski, Julie Cardona, The Busso Trio {Christina, Frank, and Frank Busso, Jr.}, Emilio Magnotta. AAA President, Linda Soley Reed conducted The Connecticut Accordion Orchestra whose members are: Mary Tokarski, Julie Cardona, Marilyn O’Neill, Gerry Hertel, Bob Vitale, Art Piel, Sandy Zera, Jeanine Cariri, Bob Czarnecki, Dorothy Gondek, and Hasmik Zamgochian.

The program concluded with a traditional group jam performance of “Jolly Caballero” conducted by Maestro Carmen Carrozza. Congratulations again for another special afternoon organized by the Carmen Carrozza Scholarship Committee consisting of Dr. Joseph A. Ciccone, Dr. Robert Young McMaha, Carmen Carrozza, Dr. Salvatore Febbraio, Dominic Karcic, Lenny Feldmann, Linda Soley Reed, and Mario Tacca.

George Syrett Celebrates World Accordion Day, Yorkshire Dales – UK

George SyrettWorld Accordion Day May 6th 2010. After a request from the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) I decided to fly the flag for the accordion by touring the local restaurants and hostelries. I played in the local Italian restaurant The Piccolino to delighted diners, and the staff started to dance and sing to the music.

From there I proceeded to Ripon, to The Blackamore, situated in a small village called Copt Hewick, and again received a reception of surprise and delight. Finally, I visited my local hotel, The Duke of Wellington, in East Keswick, where the locals started to dance and sing. As I carried my box into the bar some thought I had a sewing machine or was a traveling salesman.

This proves the accordion is capable of bringing laughter and song to many who have never heard one played or indeed seen an accordion. All in all over 200 people in the Dales of Yorkshire have seen and heard the accordion at its best and are talking about it. So many photos were taken I am sure they will appear on face book at some time.

Richard Galliano Performs at the Lincoln Center - USA

Richard Galliano
On May 14th and 15th at 7:30 and 9:30 pm at The Allen Room in Lincoln Center in New York City, will be heard one of the most heartfelt voices in contemporary jazz, Kurt Elling, performing together with the great French master of jazz accordion Richard Galliano.

Kurt and Richard will sing and play internationally famous ballads of love and loss in their original tongues and a language of love in a journey around the world.

Richard Galliano is an exceptionally versatile musician, able to make his mark in all kinds of musical contexts, from solo appearances (like the Paris Concert from the Châtelet, which came out in 2009), to playing with a big band like the Brussels Jazz Orchestra, in 2008.

His exceptional abilities as a soloist are now well-recognized, and he continues to explore a vast range of music, without ever losing that lyrical quality that infuses the ballads on Love Day that he recorded with Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Charlie Haden and Mino Cinelu, or the French Touch which allowed him to make the link between Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, with the trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.

Eager to pass on his wealth of experience, he is the author, together with his father Lucien, of an accordion method that won the SACEM prize for Best Pedagogical Work in 2009.
