Vera Trick (1921-2013), Florida - USAby Accordion Rose, Rosie Oliver |
 |
| Akkordeon Rose, Rose Oliver schreibt: mit großer Trauer geben wir bekannt, unsere liebe Mutter Vera Trick am Sonntag 6. Januar 2014 von uns gegangen ist. Bild oben an ihrem 90. Geburtstag, vor fast zwei Jahren. Aufgewachsen auf einer Farm in Ohio, gewann sie ihren ersten Akkordeon Wettbewerb in Findlay, Ohio im Alter von 15 Jahren. Sie musiziert während der High School und zog nach dem Schluabshluss nach New York. Arbeitete bei Eastman Kodak und studierte Akkordeon mit Paul Billotti in der Carnegie Hall. Vera zog später nach Toledo, Ohio und nahm den Lehrunterricht am Trick Brothers Accordion Institute. Sie unterreichtet sowohl private Schüler als auch Klassen für mehrere Jahre und heiratete letztendlich den Chef - unser Vater, Al Trick. Gemeinsam förderten sie Konzerte und Workshops mit renommierten Akkordeon Künstlern. Sie und mein Dad waren Offiziere in den ersten Jahren der Akkordeonisten & Teachers Guild, International (ATG). In ihren späteren Jahren liebte Mom es zu den jährlichen Tagungen des Nationalen Akkordeon Association (NAA) zu kommen um ihre alten Freunde zu treffen. Vor kurzem besuchte sie deie Florida Accordion Association in Orlando, wo sie 28 Jahre lang gelebt hatte. Sie ging am vergangenen Sonntag Abend friedlich von uns.

| On Sunday January 13th, some 40 accordion teachers, accordionists and supporters met at the Royal Academy of Music in London with a view to forming an association for accordion teachers in the UK. They came from as far as Scotland in the north to the south coast, and from Exeter in the west to East Anglia. The atmosphere was one of enthusiasm and the meeting, chaired by Janet and Romano Viazzani discussed a constitution and a way forward during some five hours of debating, broken only for a coffee break. A short musical interlude was given by Bartosz Glowacki and Xian Gao, two of the students at the RAM. A further meeting is planned in the next 6-7 months to elect an executive committee and approve a constitution. It is hoped that the association will enable teachers to refresh their skills through training programs as well as provide a voice for teachers in the wider musical spectrum. For further information including a list of attendees, email: romanoviazzani@hotmail.co.uk |

 Popular New Zealand accordionist and singer Lionel Reekie performed to a sell out crowd at the Novosibirsk Philharmonia, on Friday 4th January. Singing with the Russian Academic Orchestra, the concert featured songs from Lionel's album "From Russia With Love" (songs from stage and screen).Picture above is: head of the Russian Academic orchestra Vladimir Gusev, Lionel Reekie and accordion soloist Vladimir Efimov. The Russian Academic Orchestra, under the baton of Rustam Dilmukhametov is primarily made up of traditional Russian instruments including featuring accordionists. Picture left is conductor Rustam Dilmukhametov, Elena and Lionel Reekie. The concert also included a few instrumental items featuring soloists from the orchestra. Vladimir Efimov performed a well received solo to conclude the first half of the concert, although it was Lionel's performance of "Esli y vas netu teti", the theme from the beloved Russian movie "Irony of Fate" that bought the audience to it's feet demanding an additional encore. The Lionel Reekie vocal and orchestral accompaniment album 'From Russia with Love' is available on iTunes and Lionel's album featuring accordion and vocals is available online at: 'Starlight' Picture lower is all the orchestra accordionists with Lionel. |

| As part of the Park Lane Group’s young artist concert series Bartosz Glowacki, a Polish student at the Royal Academy of Music shared an evening program on January 8th in the Purcell Room at London’s South Bank Centre with the percussion duo Aurora, Delia Stevens and Le Yu. The program included Luciano Berio’s Sequenza XIII ‘Chanson’, a new work by Richard Causton, ‘Ricercar’ for solo accordion, ‘Prelude No13’ for solo accordion by Edward McGuire, and ‘Jeux d’anches’ by Magnus Lindberg. Composers, Richard Causton (recently appointed Professor of Music at Cambridge) and Magnus Lindberg (prominent Finnish composer) attended and enthusiastically congratulated Glowacki. Bartosz Glowacki obtained an excellent review from the music critic of the Guardian newspaper who wrote as follows: “….for me the coup de foudre was Bartosz Glowacki. By instinct, a solo accordion is not my top choice for a good evening out. Life deals its shocks however. The poetry and intensity of Glowacki’s playing proved compelling. Whether in Berio’s baroque-inspired Sequenza XIII (‘Chanson’) or in the sinewy, nervy energy of Magnus Lindberg’s ‘Jeux d’anches’, the young Pole created a poignant and distinctive sound world….”. High praise from the music critic of a major UK newspaper. |
