| The Tillingbourne Accordion Orchestra conducted by Marion Szuman presented a popular Holiday Concert at the Ripley Village Hall on Tuesday, December 18th, 2017. A variety show, the concert featured Seasonal and other music as well as competitions for the Best Holiday Themed costume of the players and a prize for the best decorated Music Stand! The program featured the Orchestra performing two Christmas Carol Medleys, I Will Follow Him from the popular movie "Sister Act" and Die Drei Musketiere (1. Allemande, 2. Courante, 3. Sarabande, 4. Gigue) an original work for accordion orchestra by renowned German composer Adolf Götz. Other items included solos by David Hoffman and conductor Marion Szuman, duets by Cheryl Beasley and Ruth Matthews, John Steel and Patrick Jordan (above left), Jose Collings and Ben Smith (above center), Ben Smith and Melanie Wright, Marion Szuman and Alison Worthington (below) and a performance by the Chamber Ensemble Amici (Marion Szuman, Melanie Wright, Ben Smith, Mary Smith, Ruth Matthews, Cheryl Beasley) playing the popular Tango for Claude by Richard Galliano. The Tillingbourne Accordion Orchestra (formerly known as the Tillingbourne Accordion Band) was founded in 1988 meeting for rehearsals in Albury Village Hall and in 1992 moved to its current home, the Ripley Village Hall, where it meets on Tuesdays at 8:00 PM. In addition to the orchestra, in April of 1990 the Orchestra founded The Guildford Accordion Club, open to all music and accordion lovers, both players and non players. The Club meets on the third Friday of every month in Ripley Village Hall. Since its foundation almost 30 years ago, the orchestra has played at many venues, often in support of charities, in Nursing Homes and at a variety of functions in Surrey, Kent and London locations. The founding Musical Director was Mike Naido who was followed by Pete Denham and others leading to their current Music Director Marion Szuman. Marion, in addition to leading the Tillingbourne Accordion Orchestra, along with several players, are also members of the London Accordion Orchestra under the direction of Ian Watson. |
