¿Has organizado algún evento para el Día Mundial del Acordeón 2012?by Harley Jones |
 Para los intérpretes, directores de orquesta de acordeones, festivales, organizadores de conciertos y competiciones: ¿Cuáles son tus planes para promover el acordeón en tú región en el Día Mundial del Acordeón (World Accordion Day) celebrado el 6 de Mayo de 2012?El Día Mundial del Acordeón tiene lugar el 6 de mayo porque ése es el día en el que se registró la primera patente de acordeón (1829, Viena). Tal evento comenzó a celebrarse en el año 2009 e instamos a todo el mundo a que registren su actividad en el Día Mundial del Acordeón en nuestro sitio Web y a que nos envíen fotos o un reportaje después del evento. El Día Mundial del Acordeón es una promoción internacional de la CIA (Confederación Internacional des Accordéonistes). Repitiendo textualmente las palabras del Presidente de la CIA Raymond Bodell : “Todos los eventos relacionados con el acordeón que se celebren en éste día serán bien recibidos. Ésta es una promoción para el acordeón al servicio de la gente de todos los países. Particularmente pido a las asociaciones y a los organizadores de eventos que organicen algún tipo de promoción especial para el fin de semana del 6 de mayo de 2012” Para más información: harleyaccordion@yahoo.com |

 ‘Accordions International 2011’, at Seacroft Holiday Village, Hemsby, Norfolk, November 11th to 14th proved to be a resounding success, with concerts and workshops all well supported, and a happy atmosphere prevailing throughout the weekend.The music heard in the concerts was wide ranging, including the varied programs of Pearl Fawcett-Adriano, Rosemary Wright, Roy Hendrie, and David Price, the mainly tango and Italian repertoire of Italian duo Cristiano Lui (accordion and bandoneon) and Stefano Ciotola (guitar - photo above), the classical and avant garde styles of solo stars Ksenija Sidorova (Latvia) and Martynas Levickis (Lithuania), the jazz of Jack Emblow & Tony Compton, and the Scottish music of Wayne Robertson. The ever dependable Harry Hussey entertained at mealtimes and at his late night jazz sessions in the bar, and Wayne Robertson played for Scottish dancing following the evening concerts each night. During the day there were various orchestral workshops, ‘meet the artist’ concerts, and a talk by Professor Owen Murray about the Royal Academy of Music. The trade show included a new accordion brand, Diamond Accordions, presented by Greg Doyle, and the book launch of ‘Vintage Accordions' (picture left) by Rob Howard. Full book information in New and Updated sites below. The festival, organized by Heather Smith, next year, moves back to Pakefield, Suffolk, September 6th to 10th.

 Donna Maria Regis has returned from a very successful Midwest concert tour. She was extremely honored to be the first female concert soloist to perform at A World of Accordions Museum/Harrington ARTS Center in Superior, Wisconsin. Her October 2nd performance won standing ovations and garnered TV coverage by ABC, NBC, and Fox affiliates. The ABC and NBC evening newscasts aired video clips from the actual concert. Fox ran an entire segment featuring a pre-concert interview with her. Donna Maria's appearance in Superior was part of a recent concert tour in which she paid musical tribute to several composers/arrangers for the accordion, among them Aldo DeRossi (her late cousin), Tony Lovello, Charles Magnante, and Frank Ricchio. At the museum not only did Regis perform DeRossi's music, she also presented significant archival materials - recordings, unpublished manuscripts, sheet music, etc, to augment the existing DeRossi exhibit. On behalf of the museum Helmi Strahl Harrington, Ph.D., was delighted to accept these important contributions to the museum. Friendly audiences and standing ovations greeted Donna Maria Regis throughout her tour, which added 3619 miles to her car's odometer. |

 The accordion is perhaps the most international of instruments, and is popular because it adapts so very well to musical traditions worldwide. Accordions Worldwide reports on accordion activity in lots of countries, but there are some places we rarely hear from. Two weeks ago we included a report of a concert in 1997 in one such place, Tibet, and this time we note a concert in Puerto Rico, advertised in the news for November 21st 1997. It would be good to know more about accordion activity in Puerto Rico today. ACCORDION CONCERT IN PUERTO RICO Contributed by Juan Casanas The Puerto Rico Accordionists Association Orchestra will be holding its pre-Christmas concert on November 21st at 1pm. The concert will take place at the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music under the direction of its Director Esther Eugenia Bertieaux and guest Director Joan Cochran Sommers. During November Professor Joan Cochran Sommers will be giving master classes for interested members. For further information write to: Asociación de Acordeonistas de Puerto Rico, P.O.
