CNIMA USA Teaching Tour, mayo y junio de 2022 - Estados Unidosby Christine Johnstone |
 Vídeo: Vídeo promocional de la Escuela de Acordeón CNIMAEl CNIMA (Centre National et International de Musique et d'Accordéon) es una escuela de acordeón con sede en Francia, fundada por el famoso profesor de acordeón Jacques Mornet y la galardonada acordeonista Nathalie Boucheix (en la foto de la izquierda), que llevará a cabo una gira de enseñanza del CNIMA en los Estados Unidos la próxima primavera de 2022. La gira incluirá clases magistrales, talleres y demostraciones y está abierta a todas las edades, todos los niveles, todos los estilos y se adapta a los acordeones de piano y de botones. Las fechas de la gira son las siguientes - 25 de mayo de 14 a 17 horas: Masterclass de acordeón en South Oxford Place (BK) en Nueva York - 30 de mayo a las 2pm hasta el 3 de junio a las 12.30pm: Taller de acordeón de cuatro días en la Alianza Francesa de Nueva Orleans - 5 de junio de 14 a 17 horas: Masterclass de Acordeón en la Tienda de Acordeones Petosa en Seattle - 9 de junio a las 19:00 horas: Demostración de acordeón en la Alianza Francesa de Los Ángeles Jacques Mornet ha enseñado en todo el mundo y ha recibido el Premio Gus Viseur y el Disco de Plata de la Academia Rusa Gnessin, y en 2003 fue galardonado con el Premio al Mérito de la CIA. La técnica de Mornet consiste en abordar el acordeón como un instrumento de viento más que como un instrumento de teclado. El uso adecuado del fuelle combinado con el toque apropiado de las teclas crea resultados sobresalientes que transforman la forma de tocar y liberan la musicalidad. Los alumnos del CNIMA han cosechado múltiples éxitos, entre los que destaca el haber obtenido el récord de 126 premios en concursos internacionales. La escuela ha formado a varias generaciones de los mejores acordeonistas franceses, como Alain Musichini, Domi Emorine, Félicien Brut, Vincent LHermet y Christine Rossi, por nombrar algunos.

  Video: Frank Marocco and Eddie Monteiro jam at the Frank Marocco Accordion Event, 15 Jan 2011 evening celebrating Frank Marocco's 80th birthday. Thanks to Mike Roche for the video and Bruce Lawrie for the pictures.A virtual reunion over Zoom to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Frank’s passing has been scheduled for this month. The reunion will bring together over 60 accordion camp attendees from the US, Canada and Europe, as well as some special guests. Participants will have an opportunity to reminisce, as well as view some previously unseen videos. A "virtual orchestra" has been formed, which will perform one of Frank's arrangements that was featured at the 2011 camp. Following the formal portion of the online reunion, participants, who wish to perform for up to five minutes, will have an opportunity to do so, either live or by submitting a video. Internationally famous accordionist, Frank Marocco, passed away on March 3, 2012 at the age of 81. He had a career spanning nearly 60 years and was one of the most recorded accordionists in the world. He also conducted accordion orchestras and worked with many well-known artists and conductors. Other credits include hundreds of movie tracks, TV series, shows, specials, and commercials. Frank was a prolific composer and arranger of classical, jazz, and other genres of music for accordion solo, duet, various size ensemble, and orchestra. He received numerous awards throughout his career. In 2006 Frank asked Joan Grauman and me to run an accordion orchestra camp for him. We agreed, even though we had never done anything like that previously. What followed, beginning in 2007, was eight wonderful camps in Mesa, Arizona known initially as the Frank Marocco Accordion Event. The four-day camps brought together as many as 60 accordionists from the US, Canada, and Europe, who participated in daily rehearsals, workshops, as well as individual and group performances. The last evening of the camp featured a concert by the accordion orchestra, conducted by Frank, as well as individual and duet performances. These public concerts were extremely popular and well attended each year. Sadly, Frank was only alive for the first five camps. The last camp he attended was highlighted by his 80th birthday party in January 2011, that lasted almost five hours. The video above was part of that memorable party. In 2012, following Frank’s passing, the camp was renamed the Mesa Accordion Event. Stas Venglevski, appointed by Frank as Assistant Music Director in 2009, directed the musical portion of the remaining three camps and conducted the orchestra. This reunion will remember Frank Marocco as a great musician and personality who is sadly missed by all his accordion friends. |
