 Serge und Corinne Petronio, ehemaliger Schüler der Akkordeonschule von Annemasse und Genf vor rund zwanzig Jahren, gründeten ihre eigenen Akkordeon Schule in L'Aquila, Abruzzen, Italien. Anfang April 2009, in weniger als 25 Sekunden, waren all ihre schönen Projekte plötzlich mit dem Erdbeben eliminiert. Das Gebäude in der sie lebten buchstäblich verschwunden. Sie hatten gerade genug Zeit, um Schutz zu suchen. Alles um sie herum brach zusammen: Möbel, Geräte, Fahrzeuge, etc. Die Familie ist am Leben, aber alle Früchte ihrer jahrelangen Arbeit zerstört. Die Akkordeon Schule Annemasse und Genf hat daher beschlossen, mit einem Konzert Unterstützung zu leisten. Herr T. Shield, Schulleiter und seine Frau Christine, Jugendfreunde von Serge und Corinne, würden gerne Kontakt mit Künstlern aufnehmen, die ihr Projekt unterstützen möchten. Sie fordern so viele Menschen als möglich zur Teilnahme auf, an diesem Benefiz-Konzert am Freitag, 26. Juni, um 20.30 Uhr auf der Agora de Bonneville mitzumachen. Es machen bereits mit: Les Frères Bouclier, Akkordeonist Jean Louis Noton und der weltberühmte Violinist William Garcin mit seiner Gipsy-Gruppe. Tickets gibt es an Ort und Stelle - ein Minimum von 10 € Spende wird vorgeschlagen (5 € für Kinder unter 12 Jahren). |

| The 4th ‘Notou Sounadour’, an accordion festival held in Robilante was a considerable success. The organizers, led by Walter Porro and Luigi Buzzi, made a considerable effort in organizing this event, and ensuring that musical standards were high. The Saturday was dedicated to the diatonic accordion, which is popular in this region. The program began in the afternoon with the opening of the trade exhibition, demonstrations, and workshops for both diatonic and chromatic accordions. In the evening, top diatonic artistes Ciuma (Emilie-Romagne), Saufs, Pouille and Tombesi (Venice), performed a great concert featuring traditional music. At the end of the concert, ten participants from the afternoon workshops played the ‘Choral’ passage, arranged for three parts, and studied in the afternoon. The evening ended with a dance led by diatonic accordionists. A highlight was a performance by the Paris Moscou Duo, Domi Emorine and Roman Jbanov, whose virtuosity was greatly appreciated. An award, ‘Notou Sounadour’, for dedication to the traditional music of the Valley Vermenagna was made to the accordionist Giovanni Romana, from Robilante.

Their music is enriched with sensitive sounds of percussion, guitar, and double bass played by popular guest musicians. Well-known jazz standards, film classics, lyric songs and folk songs are finely spun and maginatively arranged by Konni Deppe (vocals) and Andreas Hermeyer (accordion).
