  Picture top: Anita Basic taking the orchestra workshop.On Sunday May 14th the all-day Knutsford Accordion Day was held at the Marthall Village Hall, near Knutsford in Cheshire, England, UK. The event (originally scheduled for 2020, but postponed due to the pandemic) was a great success, where 40+ accordionists gathered for an orchestral workshop led with much good humour and musical insights by Anita Basic (Bradford Accordion Band MD). We were guided through three pieces – ‘Bella Romantica’, ‘Oj Ty Divcyno Zarucenaja’ (‘Oh You, Engaged Girl’), and ‘Stand By Me’. Anna Leskela (picture above right), from Finland, gave a sight reading session, and the day concluded with a performance of the three orchestral pieces, followed by superb solo sets from Julie Best, Ben Cobb (Finland), Helen Rich, Stefan Andruschyn, Johnny-Lee Leslie and Anna Leskela (all pictured above on the poster). There was also lots of cake to be consumed during the event, and all proceeds went to Alzheimer's Research UK. A great day for the accordion, and everyone's a winner! |
