Новая конкурсная категория ‘Revelation Award Sete Sois Sete Luas’, Кастельфидардо – Италияby Rob Howard |
 |
 Международный фестиваль и конкурс баянистов и аккордеонистов ‘PIF 2014’ пройдет в Кастельфидардо, Анкона, Италия с 18 по 21 сентября. В этом году конкурс включает в себя новую категорию этнической музыки. ‘Revelation Award Sete Sois Sete Luas’ – новая конкурсная категория этнической музыки которую ‘PIF’ проводит совместно с фестивалем ‘Sete Sois Sete Luas’. Победитель получит не только стипендию и медаль, но и получит возможность находиться в Португалии, в Понте-де-Сор, став участником одного из оркестров, участвующих в Фестивале ‘Sete Sois Sete Luas’, и выступая с этим оркестром в 2015 году. В категории могут принять участие музыканты тех стран, где проводится фестиваль ‘Sete Sois Sete Luas’: Бразилии, Кабо-Верде, Хорватии, Франции, Греции, Израиля, Италии, Марокко, Португалии, Румынии, Словении, Испании и Туниса. В категории могут принимать участие солисты – исполнители на диатонической гармонике (параметры инструмента: минимум 21 кнопка в правой клавиатуре (2 ряда кнопок) и 8 басов в левой). Фестиваль ‘Sete Sois Sete Luas’ был основан в 1993 году группой молодых итальянцев, работающих в театре в Италии и Португалии, и выдающимся португальским писателем Хосе Сарамаго (José Saramago), который получил в 1998 году Нобелевскую премию по литературе. Фестиваль ‘PIF’ из Кастельфидардо почитает за честь и гордится своим партнерством с фестивалем ‘SSSL’ и, перефразируя произведения Сарамаго, предлагает «обрести крылья» тем аккордеонистам, работающим в области традиционной и этнической музыки, которые хотят воспользоваться важными культурными и профессиональными возможностями, но, прежде всего, важной возможностью реализовать свои мечты! |

 On Tuesday August 12th, our Weekly News Editor Rob Howard was honored to play at the wedding of Maryline Fresquet and Tom Jowitt, friends and colleagues of his wife Marj at Manchester University. The wedding ceremony took place at the Mairie in Paleyrac, a village in the south of the Dordogne in France. Rob played a selection of Edith Piaf, popular French and Gershwin songs following the ceremony, then later in the evening some French waltzes and Irish music for dancing in the marquee at the reception venue, a large mansion that resembled a film set. During the afternoon reception, ‘Les cousins d'Aldo’, a superb local trio featuring Aldo on accordion, entertained with jazz, swing, blues and musettes. The wedding continued the next day with an afternoon picnic in the marquee followed by swimming in the outdoor pool. Rob played a variety of international music, and received a uniquely French round of applause, complete with lively hand and arm actions. 6 Books available online, by author: Rob Howard |

 Lou Jacklich, veteran accordion performer, teacher and pioneer, was honored on July 25th 2014 at the 74th Accordionists & Teachers Guild, International (ATG) Festival in San Francisco, California.Lynn Ewing, San Francisco Accordion Club president paid tribute to Lou Jacklich and recounted his career and accomplishments during his 70 years of teaching and 78 years of performing. A dedicated teacher, he still has gigs and teaches in his studio in San Lorenzo, CA. “The Maestro,” as affectionately called by his students, was born in Hayward, California, in 1928. He started the accordion at 7 years old. At 11 years old he was a soloist at the 1939 San Francisco World’s Fair (Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay). At 16 years old he joined the union and played vaudeville on the west coast. He was underage and had a job in a night club. He was one of a select few students in high school with a car because he had teaching jobs and performances around the San Francisco Bay Area. He performed with the Trinidad Steel Drum Band and the Serendipity Singers in Honolulu. He opened the Jacklich School of Music in Castro Valley, CA during the 1950s with 7 teachers who studied under him. The school grew to 400 students and had 4 accordion bands, and 19 combos. He also represented the Melodiosa brand of accordions. He was a pioneer with MIDI equipment and sophisticated amplification on stage using the Lovell organ attachment for accordion. Lou was one of the first accordion artists to introduce the ‘electronically’ enhanced accordion playing it both on his recording ‘Lou Jacklich Plays’ and on engagements throughout the country. Lou Jacklich is very generous in sharing his knowledge and is a natural teacher. He left the hectic life of traveling on the road as a performer and returned to teaching. Over the span of his years of teaching, his number of students easily exceeds a thousand lives enriched by music. |
