 Jelena Milojevic, 32, was appointed Artistic Director of the Victoria International Accordion Festival, and hopes the city’s youth can bring Canada to the accordion world stage. Raised in Croatia, Milojevic began playing accordion at nine while enrolled in Ivan Matetic-Ronjgov Music School, after she was told that she was too old to start learning piano. In 2003, she won the CMA Trophee Mondiale. Now settled in Victoria, Jelena Milojevic spends her time between teaching Camosun College’s two-year accordion program and guiding a handful of younger students. “There’s a strong history of accordion in Croatia, in Europe, that Canada doesn’t have,” Milojevic said. “I’m relying on these kids to make the art strong in Canada”. This year, Milojevic is joining her husband Aleksander as Artistic Director of the Victoria International Accordion Festival, which he founded in 2007. Milojevic will be holding a workshop alongside Tian Jianan, a young Chinese player who won 2nd place, Coupe Mondiale Virtuoso Entertainment category last year, when the international accordion competition was hosted in Victoria. Milojevic’s younger students will also be playing as the Victoria Accordion Kids Band. Tian Jianan and Russian-American player Stas Venglevski will be headlining the festival, which runs from July 18th to 20th. |

 Scottish accordion entertainer Tommy Newcomen writes, “A brilliant night at the Invercauld Arms in Braemar last night. Great crowd and loads of requests ranging from the ‘Jacqueline Waltz’ to Robbie Williams and ‘The Bluebell Polka’ to the Mavericks. Glad to say I managed them all. Luckily nobody's asked for the ‘Birdie Dance’ or ‘Agadoo’ for ages!" |

 The UK-based Classic Buskers (formerly The Cambridge Buskers) Michael Copley (recorders, flutes, panpipes, crumhorns and ocarinas) and accordionist Ian Moore - communicate their passion for classical music in two of the best ways possible – virtuosity and laughter. The audience comes away from a Buskers’ concert on a high, having been both entertained and educated. Their repertoire ranges from Mendelssohn’s ‘Violin Concerto’ and Haydn’s ‘Trumpet Concerto’ (with a tiny ocarina taking up the challenge of the solo part) to Beethoven’s ‘9th’ (the Choral), Bizet’s ‘Carmen’, Mozart’s ‘Queen of the Night’, and Wagner’s ‘Ride of the Valkyries’. The Classic Buskers have performed in many countries, and at present are in China. Their tour dates include: July 19th, 7.30pm - Dezhou Grand Theatre, Dezhou, Shandong, China July 20th, 8pm – Shenzhen Longgang Cultural Center, Guangdong, China July 25th, 7.30pm - City Hall Theatre, 5 Edinburgh Place, Central, Hong Kong July 26th, 3pm and 7pm - Tai Po Civic Centre Auditorium, 12 On Pong Road, Hong Kong July 27th, 3pm - North District Town Hall Auditorium, 2 Lung Ean Street, Hong Kong For further information email: info@lomonaco-artists.com |
