Майкл Бридж (Michael Bridge) один из четырех победителей конкурса ‘Concerto’, Торонто – Канада

Michael BridgeУниверситет Торонто каждый год проводит концертный конкурс (‘Concerto Competition’) с целью отобрать солистов, которые будут играть с оркестром в предстоящем концертном сезоне. В выходные 10 и 11 января канадский баянист Майкл Бридж успешно преодолел оба тура конкурса и был выбран в качестве одного из четырех победителей, которые выступят в качестве солистов с оркестром в сезоне 2015/16 года.

Майкл исполнил «Концерт для аккордеона с оркестром» итало-американского композитора Пола Крестона (Paul Creston) в авторской версии переложения для баяна с фортепиано. Партию фортепиано исполнила д-р Хе Вон Сесилия Ли (Dr. Hye Won Cecilia Lee). Дата выступления с оркестром будет объявлена в ближайшие месяцы.

Интересы Майкла, широко известного в аккордеонных кругах как канадского победителя конкурса исполнителей на цифровых аккордеонах ‘Roland Digital’ и энергичного исполнителя развлекательной музыки в стиле полька-рок, в настоящее время находятся в области классической, современной и камерной музыкой и признания аккордеона/баяна как серьезного концертного инструмента.

The Most Accordion Shaped Camper Ever - Netherlands

De Markis Camper
De Markis CamperDe Markis is a camper that unfolds like an accordion. Contemporary architect and design connoisseur, Eduard Böhtlingk, created this amazing mobile camper. His company, Architectenbureau Böhtlingk is located in Maasland, the Netherlands.

In the right situation, you can go fishing from the deck! It might even double as a portable concert stage with dressing rooms!!!

Featuring a bedroom with privacy canvas, a sitting room with transparent canvas for an excellent view, and an interior room with stove, sink, table, and multiple storage places, this camper would be a wonderful talking point for any accordion enthusiast to own.

Igor Zobin, Accordionist and Conductor, Pesaro – Italy

Igor Zobin
Igor Zobin was born in Trieste in 1983 and studied the accordion at the Slovene Music Institute in Trieste and at the State Music Conservatory in Pesaro. He was awarded a degree at the Conservatory Gioacchino Rossini in Pesaro and was selected to represent Italy at the 52nd CMA Trophée Mondiale.

For the first time in Italy and in the history of the famous Accademia Musicale Pescarese, accordionist Igor Zobin also gained his degree in conducting.

Igor Zobin, had already decided which style he would like to follow for his career. He spoke about it in an interview for “Musica Colta” where he declared:
“Accordion, or the bayan in my personal case, is a extraordinary instrument, that allows you to explore music in each single dimension. Accordion is a young instrument that has a great future, but that also gives to the musician an instrument to understand and perform many different music styles from the past to the present.

Accordion put your musicianship to the test. Accordion has always been my personal orchestra, but I always desired to grow as musician, to pursuit the art of music.

Conducting and directing an orchestra is an art, hard to merely describe. It’s great and complex, and it demands a lot of energy from you. I am very happy to get this degree at the Academy and I am proud of this path!”.

Igor Zobin intends his career to combine orchestra director together with the accordion performance. We wish Igor Zobin all the best for a shining future with these goals for his life.

‘14 Years Ago’: Documentary ‘Accordion Dreams’ premiered in March 2001

Accordion Dreams
The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending February 23rd 2001 included an item about the premiere of a documentary film titled ‘Accordion Dreams’, which was soon to be screened at a festival in Texas. The documentary focused on conjunto, the accordion-driven music of the Tex-Mex community. This genre has thrived though the years, and in last week’s Accordions Worldwide news we reported that accordionist Flaco Jimenez, conjunto’s most successful player, has recently received a Lifetime Grammy award. Well done, Flaco!

Documentary ‘Accordion Dreams’ at Film Festival – USA
Contributed by Evy Ledesma

‘Accordion Dreams’, the newest film by Hector Galan will premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, during March. ‘Accordion Dreams’ is an exciting journey into the heart and soul of conjunto music. The documentary explores the historical and cultural impact that accordion based conjunto music has had while revealing how a younger generation of squeezebox trailblazers are keeping the music alive.

Accordion Dreams will be broadcast nationally in the United States on PBS.
