 Nicole Parsons, Schülerin von Roger Latulippe wurde als New England Akkordeon Champion gekrönt, während Rachel Quirbach als ATAM Entertainment Solo Champion bei dem 48. New England Music Festival ausgezeichnet wurde. Beide Events werden vom Accordion Teachers Association of Massachusetts (ATAM) gesponsert. Das Wochenende mit Wettbewerben, Konzerten, Workshops, Gala-Bankett-und Student-Ball, zieht Teilnehmer aus dreizehn verschiednen Provinzen New Englands an. Ein Höhepunkt des Wochenendes war der Auftritt des CIA Coupe Mondiale World Champion Akkordeon Grayson Masefield (Neuseeland), der zahlreiche Standing Ovations für seine Konzertdarbietung an klassischer und Unterhaltungsmusik einholen konnte. Die ATAM Vorstellung war für Grayson die erste in einer Reihe von Konzerten in den USA und inspirierte die jungen Akkordeon Studenten, die selten die Gelegenheit haben, solch außergewöhnlich guten Aufführungen live zuzuhören. Das Eröffnungs-Konzert begann mit Jay Latulippe der die "Lets Play Music Festival Stagecraft Band“ dirigierte, das Falcetti Springfield Music Akkordeon und Gitarren-Orchester unter der Regie von Michael Falcetti mit dem großen Finale und einer großartigen Vorstellung von den Rosita Lee Music Center Showstoppers Reunion Akkordeon-Orchester undTänzern unter der Leitung von Rosita Lee (DeeDee) Latulippe. Zur Feier ihres 40. Geburtstages lud das 60mann Showstoppers Orchester und Tänzer ehemalige Mitglieder ein mitzuspielen, als sozusagen Auftakt für ihr Festkonzert am 13. Juni 2010 in Hollis, New Hampshire. |

 In mid March, Womad 2010 was held at New Plymouth's Booklands Park and TSB Bowl. The music, dance and food of Womad attracted nearly 35,000 people over the weekend.New Plymouth's Brooklands Park was transformed over the three-day event into a garden of diverse sounds and eccentric sights. Festival-goers let their freak flags fly with multi-coloured costumes, scarves and hair to match. Womad 2010 featured 266 performers from 19 countries on seven stages and as well as music and performance, it included cooking demonstrations and musical workshops, artists in conversation and a global village. French group Babylon Circus was the must-see act on Saturday and word had got around so the Bowl was packed to the brim with festival-goers eager to see them play a second show. The band's fusion of ska-punk, funk, Afro-beat and humour with Guy Rimbaud (accordion) prominent, commanded a terrific audience response. The weekend's performances marked the band's first time in New Zealand and Baruchel and fellow singer Manu Nectoux said afterwards it would not be the last. "We had the opportunity to come to a place where we are definitely un-famous and to prove everything we have got," Baruchel said. Over the coming weeks Babylon Circus are performing in: April 22nd - Womad 2010 Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) 24th - Firminy, France 27th – Corbie, France 28th - London, UK May 7th – Incourt, Belgium 8th - Anvers, Belgium 20th – Toulouse, France 28th – Sarlat, France 29th, Cluny, France June 20th – Tilburg, Holland July 13th - Saint-Malo-Du-Bois, France July 24th – Briouze, France |

 Popular New Zealand accordionist Tracey Collins who was featured twice at the 2009 Coupe Mondiale in North Shore City, New Zealand has just made a live CD recording. She wrote: “I had Oliver Hammond (double bass) and Ron Sampson (drums) accompanying me thorough out the whole performance. We also had special guests - Edwina Thorne (trumpet), Monica Louis (French vocals) and Ilse Van Wyk (violin) for a few tracks. The album comprises of a mixture of French classics with a twist of Latin. The concert was a live recording, so it was quite a challenge to stop the audience from singing and clapping throughout the songs, but we managed to pull it off! There are even some songs with audience participation. I will keep you posted with the CD's progress- when it will be completely ready for sale.” |
