 Concert accordionist Mary Tokarski will return for her fifth year as an educator for the Peter Soave Music Academy being held in Sauris (Northern Italy, Dolomite Mountains). Sauris is a little piece of “heaven on earth” . . . rolling mountains, greenery, picturesque villages, and impeccably maintained homes decorated with great imagination and the use of nature’s best!From July 24 to August 7, Sauris will buzz with accordion activity – workshops, master classes, private lessons, and concerts featuring some of the world’s finest accordionists. Peter and Mady Soave lead the list of instructors and artists. Mary will be joined by Professor Viatcheslav Semionov, Alexander Skliarov, Eddie Monteiro, Stas Venglevski, and Dr. Duilio Dobrin. Accordionists from around the world will attend to cherish lessons and workshops with these artists, and participate in ensemble and orchestra rehearsals, culminating in concerts for the townspeople of the area. The artists will also perform in numerous combinations throughout the event, with 7:00 a.m. concerts in the local places of worship, and appearances at local trattorias and concert venues in the area. August 5, will be a special concert in a neighboring town to Sauris, where Prof. Semionov and Mary will each share their solo concerts along with a “first time ever” duet – performing a piece by Shaliev called "Snowstorm" (aka "Russian Winter"). Marys' performance will include works by Bizet, Vincent Youmans, Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Tcherepnin’s “Partita” Mary will also present the European premiere of “Ballad of Faithe” which is the 2nd movement (dedicated to Faithe Deffner) of Guy Klucevsek’s new AAA Commissioned work called “Three Tributes”. Article and video above of the world premiere of Three Tributes. Guy recently commented to editor Rita Barnea: “I’m delighted that Mary was inspired enough by the piece to want to play it.” Mary is sure that audiences are going to love it. Mary Tokarski is an outstanding artist and dynamic educator who has performed around the world. Since 2014, she has been the President of the American Accordionists' Association (AAA).
