Juli 2022 um 15 Uhr im Broadway Cinema and Theatre in Letchworth, England, Vereinigtes Königreich, auftreten.Sie werden ein "unterhaltsames Programm mit Musik von der Bühne und der Leinwand sowie Originalmusik, die für das Orchester geschrieben wurde" bieten. "Dies ist sowohl ein erbauliches Konzert als auch eine Benefizveranstaltung, da ein Teil der Einnahmen der örtlichen Wohltätigkeitsorganisation Letchworth Educational Settlement zugute kommen wird. Die Aufführung wird auch dazu beitragen, dass die Live-Musik nach ein paar harten Jahren in Covid-19 wieder auf die Beine kommt". Ian Watson spielt seit vielen Jahren in der Band "Divine Comedy", und so kam es, dass das London Accordion Orchestra auf dem kürzlich erschienenen "Best of"-Album "Charmed Life" der Divine Comedy zu hören ist. Karten werden in Kürze im Broadway Kino und Theater verkauft. Für weitere Informationen: mail@londonao.co.uk |

| Video: Trailer about the selection of the compositions. In collaboration with Museum Schokland, Black Pencil (which includes accordionist Marko Kassl) asked composers from all over the world for a short solo composition of approximately 60 seconds. The inspiration was drawn from the former island of Schokland, and the compositions must be for one of the instruments of the ensemble: recorder, pan flute, viola, accordion or percussion. “Black Pencil received a total of 174 submissions from 36 countries, and were delighted with this massive success. Thanks to all participating composers”. The winning composition along with four honorable mentions will be announced at the end of June, and performed live at Sound Walk Schokland on July 10th and August 28th, 2022, and again in the summer of 2023. |

 Video: “Vires Acquirit Eundo” - Naomi Harris, accordionNaomi Harris is a music student at the University of Victoria in Canada, currently studying accordion performance. The composition, “Vires Acquirit Eundo” is an artistic contribution to the Equity Action Plan “Safety to be One’s True Self.” This is expressed through this three-movement accordion and vocal performance meaning “we gather strength as we go”. This piece includes reflections taken directly from members of the UVic community and addresses tensions that arise from individuation in society. The piece was composed with traditional influences of accordion composition while also utilizing contemporary accordion techniques. The first movement expresses the formation of identity; discovering one’s capabilities and limitations. Progressing into the second movement, the individual is elated and driven to find meaning and purpose. The piece concludes with confusion and frustration. Losing parts of oneself to mold into a collective, but ultimately rediscovering and returning to one’s true self. |
