Премьера кантаты "Genesis" для аккордеона, перкуссии и хора, Кантабрия – Испанияby Alejandro Martinez Ares |
26 мая 2012 года в Ларедо, Кантабрия, состоится первое исполнение кантаты под названием "Genesis" для аккордеона, ударных и хора. Композитор Израэль Лопес Эстельче (Israel Lopez Estelche – фото внизу справа) родился в 1983 году в городе Сантона, Кантабрия, и учился у таких композиторов, как Луис де Пабло (Luis de Pablo), Кристобаль Халффтер (Cristobal Halffter), Дави дель Пуэрто (David del Puerto) и других. Недавно он был удостоен премии Symphonic Composition "OSPA XX years" за свое сочинение De la eternidad Concéntrica. Израэль Л. Эстельче является большим поклонником аккордеона, и он активно использует многочисленные возможности в свободном языке и эклектичном стиле, естественном, как сама природа, своей последней работы – Genesis. Премьеру сочинения исполнят Alejandro Martinez Ares (аккордеон – фото справа), Jaime Moraga Vásquez (перкуссия) и камерный хор Cantabria Chamber Choir (руководитель Jesús Manuel Piedra). Премьера состоится 26 мая в 20.00 часов в церкви Санта-Мария в Ларедо, Кантабрия, и это, несомненно, станет особенным днем для любителей хорошей музыки. “Genesis” («Бытие») высоко драматичное и выразительное произведение, что всегда свойственно музыке Израиля Л. Эстельче. За дополнительной информацией обращайтесь к Алехандро Мартинесу Аресу (Alejandro Martinez Ares). |

Torkest Accordion Orchestra (Netherlands) Visit to Renfrew - Scotlandby Robin Hyland |
On 27th April, the Torkest Accordion Orchestra from Veghel in Holland visited with the JBAO (Jimmy Blair Accordion Orchestra) for a sell out concert at the Renfrew Town Hall on Saturday 28th April 2012. Video above of one piece from that concert. An advanced party arrived by ferry with their accordions on the Friday afternoon, and along with JBAO conductor Gary Blair and Robin Hyland, the party went to Glasgow Airport to meet the remaining 27 members of the Torkest Orchestra, which resulted in a "Sing Song" as they came out of the exit doors! Saturday's concert was a brilliant affair for both orchestras. The JBAO started proceedings with a vast array of different styles of music from Scottish, French to Rock & Pop. Torkest also had a great variety of styles which included Rock, Baroque, Symphonies etc. On Sunday night both of the orchestras had a Ceilidh (Scottish dancing/party), at which our visitors certainly let their hair down!! Monday morning, the Torkest Orchestra played two concerts at the Alexandra Parade Primary School in Glasgow, which was very well received by the enthusiastic children. On Tuesday, they went sight seeing in Edinburgh, followed by another concert on the Wednesday afternoon to students of Renfrew High School. The trip was rounded off with a party for both orchestras, who had a great jam session and plenty plenty food!! Thursday was time to head home, but not before a wee sing song in Gary Blair's house! Picture below: concert final bows. |
