‘Accordion High School’ Concert, Urbino – Italyby Claudio Jacomucci |
On June 12th the final concert of the ‘Accordion High School’ students was presented at the Italian Accordion Academy in Urbino, which had a ‘theatre in the nature’ theme: sunset, night-fall, fireflies, wind, crickets and music, dance, video performances (and tasty homemade food and wine!!) David Sarnelli, Luca Pignata, Christian Riganelli, Jutta Winter, Ezio Ghibaudo performed works by John Cage, Toshio Hosokawa, Erik Satie, Domenico Scarlatti, Astor Piazzolla, J.S.Bach, and traditional music from Bulgaria together with a video projection and dance. The event included the participation of the tutors Claudio Jacomucci and Kathleen Delaney, who held an accordion and Alexander Technique course. They presented their evocative performance ‘Eurydice in the Earth’, inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice (for accordion, dance and electronics), and the acrobatic work by the Brazilian composer Egberto Gismonti, ‘Baiao Malandro’, danced (on a roof) by Kathleen in Capoeira style. Next year’s course, 2010-2011, will be based on: the study of advanced techniques, the Alexander Technique, master classes in solo interpretation, contemporary chamber music, plus multimedia performance (dance, electronics, video, voice, music, interaction). During the year, the students will present new works in public concerts, collaborating with composers, festivals and other instrument classes of music academies and conservatories in Italy and in the Netherlands.
