The 41st Training Course for Accordionists of the Deutscher Harmonika Verband (DHV) in Remscheid "was again a great Whitsun week! I particularly noticed the harmony among the participants. They were all very happy and it is very good and to have been working intensively in the individual courses." said organizer Matthias Hennecke, also regional Chairman of the DHV North Rhine-Westphalia. Teachers included Hans-Günther Kölz, Wolfgang Ruß, Tristan Kindel, Matthias Matzke, Sascha Davidovic, and Lars Holm. The Orchestra Course, led by Wolfgang Ruß began work studying the swing classic ‘Take The A-Train’ and ‘N'oubliez jamais’, by Joe Cocker, an a medley from the movie ‘Grease’. For the soloists, Matthias Matzke had a solo version arrangement of Helmut Quakernack’s ensemble piece ‘Catwalk’. The course led by Hans-Günther Kölz for conductors included study of three works: ‘Singapore Skyline’, a composition by Wolfgang Ruß, and new arrangements of ‘Sicilienne’ by Gabriel Fauré for solo and orchestra, and ‘Rojo Tango’, by Pablo Ziegler. The Lars Holm (Sweden) ensemble course studied a ‘Medley’ of music by the Beatles and Abba, and the ensemble memorised Finnish Polka. The orchestra course by Sasha Davidovic studied classic works such as the ‘Egmont Overture’, arranged by Thomas Bauer, and an excerpt from the final movement of Dvorak's ‘New World Symphony’, arranged by Tobias Dalhof, and ‘New York Tango’, by Richard Galliano, arranged by Hans-Günther Kölz. The evening program had something to offer for everyone: Hans-Günther Kölz presented the students of the Hohner Konservatorium Trossingen - Felix Fritschi (accordion), Felix Kogel (accordion and piano), and Monja Howler (harmonica), on Tuesday. ‘Uwaga!’ quartet presented virtuoso folk to classical music in surprising arrangements on violin, viola, double bass and accordion. Miroslav Nisic was the accordionist of the quartet. Lars Holm, gave an interesting insight into his life and the literature written by him. He performed as a soloist, with his ensemble, and also in a duo with Hans-Günther Kölz and as a trio, completed by Sabine Kölze. Last but not least the State Youth Accordion Orchestra North Rhine-Westphalia, headed by Helmut Quakernack, impressed on Friday evening with the original compositions ‘Ishara’ and ‘Global Animals’ by the conductor and a perfect interpretation of the ‘Enigma Variations’, by Edward Elgar, arranged by Stefan Hippe, and led by Sasha Davidovic. The course also included a repair course for beginners and advanced, led by Tristan Kindel. Picture below: Closing party fun music with Hans-Günther Kölz at the piano. |
