Аккордеонные классы от Jon Persson для китайских мореплавателей - Тихий океан

Jon PerssonВидео выше: Londonderry Air ("Danny Boy") Jon Persson с The MiniSymphony (аккордеонный/струнный квинтет).

Классы аккордеона для начинающих были недавно предложены китайским путешественникам на борту пассажирского лайнера на три тысячи человек, принадлежащего Princess Cruise Line, одной из самых больших круизных линий в мире.

Классы ограничивались двадцатью учениками, открыты были для людей от 8 до 88 лет, и проводились американским пианистом/аккордеонистом, а также музыкантом Princess Cruises, работавшим в компании долгое время, Jon Persson (фото слева).

Поскольку классы длились только 30 минут и проходили дважды в день все 5 дней круиза, то не слишком много времени уделялось глубокому погружению в технику аккордеона. Уроки были больше сконцентрированы на очень легкой мелодии, которая узнаваема во многих странах, и для китайских пассажиров тоже: ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’. Более того, аккордеоны, купленные круизной линией для уроков, были, по существу, игрушечными, но прекрасно подошли для цели уроков!

Сеансы были шутливыми и нравились всем посещавшим их, а таких было немало, так что все двадцать аккордеонов, подготовленных для уроков, быстро расхватывали пришедшие пораньше.

Попытка побить рекорд из книги Гиннеса, март 2018, Лондон – Великобритания

Tacheng Guinness World Record
Nikolai RyskovОбосновавшийся в Лондоне русский аккордеонист Nikolai Ryskov (фото слева) организует в следующем году попытку побить рекорд из книги рекордов Гиннеса. Он намерен собрать вместе побольше аккордеонистов, играющих легкую версию ‘Libertango’ Astor Piazzolla.

Мероприятие будет проводиться в день рождения Ryskov, 11 марта 2018 года, в месте в центре Лондона, которое будет объявлено позже.

Запланирована большая музыкальная и танцевальная программа, еда, напитки и демонстрации аккордеонов.

Попытка будет проводиться под наблюдение книги рекордов Гиннеса и это не самый легкий для достижения рекорд.

20 июля 2014 установленный рекорд книги Гиннеса составил 1361 аккордеониста, играющих одновременно в Шэньчжэнь, Китай. 2014HohnerReport

Потом, 20 августа 2016 в Чугучак (Тачэн), Китай, новый рекорд составил уже 1517 аккордеонистов, играющих вместе. 2016Tacheng

Планируется очень интересное мероприятие, которое также служит цели повышения популярности нашего инструмента.

Tamburitzans Celebrate 80th Season – USA

Tamburizans header
Joan Grauman, Marko Maslakovic, Joe CerritoSince 1973, I have been annually attending the mesmerizing performances of the Duquesne University Tamburitzans, the longest continuously running multicultural song and dance company in the United States.

All of the members are full-time students who receive scholarships for their participation in this highly regarded troupe whose mission is to provide deserving students an education and to perpetuate the varying folk cultures and traditions of Eastern Europe.

Picture left: Joan Grauman, Marko Maslakovic and Joe Cerrito.

These young highly skilled musicians, dancers and singers have delighted audiences all over the world with beautifully choreographed dance sets, hauntingly beautiful music and intricately embroidered costumes for 80 years.

On July 1, 2016, the Tamburitzans became an independent nonprofit organization, the “Pittsburgh International Folk Arts Institute”. Duquesne University gave the troupe their buildings, vehicles, instruments, costumes, equipment, as well as funding to help ensure their future success. Students may now attend other Pittsburgh-based universities as well as Duquesne.

Each year, the Tamburitzans create a new program which they bring to appreciative audiences all over the country. This year, being their 80th anniversary, they “went all out” and the program is truly spectacular!

It features the music and dances of Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Armenia, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, as well as sets from France and India. There is still time to see the Tamburitzans perform during the current season, which ends on June 9 (see downloadable schedule below).

Of course, we all took notice of the excellent and very personable accordionist, Marko Maslakovic from Belgrade, Serbia, who is studying for his Master’s degree in corporate communications. The entire ensemble is superb, as are the dancers and singers. A must see!!

20th Northern Ireland Open Accordion Championships, Carrickfergus – UK

Clyde JohnstonThe 20th Northern Ireland Open Accordion Championships took place at the Loughshore Hotel, Carrickfergus, on February 25th. This festival was another huge success with reaction from spectators and competitors alike being very favourable towards the festival which ran like clockwork in a very relaxed and friendly spirit.

The NI Championships are run under the rules of the National Accordion Organisation (NAO) of the United Kingdom and are a qualifying heat for the 2017 NAO UK Championships, held at The Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, April 21st to 24th. 
 
Organised by Clyde Johnston (picture right) it is the largest accordion festival in Northern Ireland and again attracted a good entry. Clyde was delighted to again welcome competitors from the Chilton School of Music in County Cavan and Gerry Kelly’s Accordion School from County Meath as well as other entries from County Meath, County Dublin, Southern England and Glasgow in addition to the local competitors.

There were also trade stands on display by Alan Shute, Sean O'Neill, Rob Howard, Glitterbug Bagz, Frazer Mclellan, and Scotland Accordions, which added great interest and atmosphere to the festival.

Clyde was also delighted to welcome surprise guests to the festival in the form of top UK duettists Nigel Pasby and Helen Newton, from Hungerford, Berkshire. They only decided to attend at the last minute but enthralled the audience by performing, on borrowed accordions, a few delightful duets in the afternoon.
 
The adjudicators, Ivan Black, and Sarah McEvoy were greatly impressed not only by the high standard of playing but also with the smooth and efficient manner in which the Championships were run.

The Irish Examiner Newspaper Featured Jackie Daly - Ireland

Video: Jackie Daly and Seamus Creagh Sullivan's, Britches Full of Stitches.

Some excerpts from the article about his 6 decades of music making.

In Jackie Daly’s case, the title of laoch, or hero, is added to that of Gradam Ceoil winner, All-Ireland senior accordion champion — the only Corkman to win either award — and doyen of Sliabh Luachra box-playing.

His anecdotes are as much a tradition of his performances as the tunes.

He tells another anecdote about Galway accordion maestro Joe Burke, who visited Jackie in hospital in Cork after he suffered a brain haemorrhage.

“The doctor was testing me and Joe said ‘Doctor I know what’s wrong with him. His head is full of slides and polkas rather than decent jigs and reels’. I said ‘Joe, thank you for visiting me. I’m going to compose a tune in your honour’. I did, and it’s Joe Burke’s polka. People say to him Joe, play your polka, so I definitely got my own back. He’s never played it.”
