Roland Australia & New Zealand haben dafür zwei ganz besondere Gäste in die North Shore City, Neuseeland eingeladen. Herr Luigi Bruti (links, Marketing-Direktor für Roland Europa - Ursprung des V-Akkordeons (V-Accordion). Herr Bruti ist eine zentrale Figur im Zusammenhang mit der Entwicklung des V-Akkordeons (V-Accordion) sowie dem internationalen Wettbewerb „V-Akkordeon-Festival/Wettbewer“,mit der ersten Edition im Jahre 2007, in welchem einige der besten Akkordeonisten aus aller Welt teilgenommen haben. Herr Bruti, selbst ein renommierter Akkordeonist, steht während der gesamten Veranstaltung allen Musikern und Fans mit persönlichen Erfahrungen und Kenntnissen mit dem Roland V-Akkordeon (V-Accordion) zum fachsimpeln zur Verfügung. Weiters ist zu Gast Herr Ludovic Beier (links unten). Er kommt aus Frankreich und ist einer der besten Vertreter des Jazz-Akkordeons. Er wird sich während des 62.

Herr Brendan Callinan, Vertrieb und Marketing Manager für Roland Australia & New Zealand sagt: "die Präsentation des FR7 Roland V-Akkordeons (V-Accordion) im Jahr 2004 war der Höhepunkt vieler Jahre Planung und Entwicklung und erfüllt den langjährigen Wunsch des Roland Gründers, Herrn Ikutaro Kakehashi - Roland Akkordeon zu produzieren und damit sowhl der langen Geschichte und Tradition des Instruments gerecht zu werden mit Roland's Engagement für die Entwicklung mittels modernster Technologien zur Erhöhung jedes musikalischen Geschmackes. Wir freuen uns sehr über die Gelegenheit mit kreativen Technologie auf eine musikalischen Zusammenarbeit und innerhalb des Coupe Mondiale Programmes und sehen einer lange und beiderseitigen positiven Kollaboration mit der CIA (Confederation Internationale des Accordeonistes) entgegen. |

 Am 16. April präsentierte der finnische Akkordeonistin Mika Väyrynen, zusammen mit dem Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra unter der Leitung von Maestro Okko Kamu das Konzert "Die Prophezeiung" von Erkki-Sven Tüür. Okko Kamu war 1969 der Gewinner des Herbert von Karajan-Wettbewerbes.1100 Besucher füllten die Tampere Hall und die Kritik nach dem Konzert war kurz und bündig: "Mika Väyrynen’s Spielen kann nur mit einem Wort bezeichnet werden: phänomenal!". Neben seiner Arbeit mit dem Bayan, war der Künstler kürzlich mit einem Projekt auf dem Bandoneon für NBC-Finnland tätig. Zur Zeit bereitet sich Mika auf ein anstrengendes Sommer Konzertprogramm vor und ist beim fertigstellen seiner neue CD "Misterium" mit dem Stück "Sonate Nr. 7“ – einer speziellen Widmung des Künstlers Anatoli Kusjakov and Mika. Die CD wird voraussichtlich im Herbst dieses Jahres veröffentlicht. |

  ‘Accordions International 2009’, organised by Heather Smith, took place from May 8th to 12th at Pontins, Blackpool. This year’s chief guests included young Italian accordionists Pietro Adragna and Claudio Recchia (late stand ins for Pino di Modugno and Giancarlo Caporilli, who withdrew through illness), and Alexander Dmitriev and Vitali Dmitriev - Russia.Pietro Adragna, a 20 year old from Sicily, charmed everybody with his personality, brilliant technique and large repertoire. Many will long remember his impromptu late night concert in the bar, including his complex variations on ‘The Carnival of Venice’. Claudio Recchia, from Rome, similarly demonstrated a high standard of technique and love for playing in his performances. There were marvellous performances from Alexander Dmitriev and Vitali Dmitriev, and UK-based artistes Stefan Andrusyschyn and vocalist Denise Leigh, Romano Viazzani, Bert Santilly and Harry Hussey David Vernon, from Edinburgh, arrived on Sunday, and his Scottish music and humour quickly endeared him to his audiences. His entrances, in full kilt and playing bagpipes, were spectacular and memorable. Romano Viazzani’s ‘Big Band’ workshop was memorable for a superb rendition of Glenn Miller’s ‘String of Pearls’, which included a trumpet solo from Marj Howard, and Pietro Adragna playing the piano part on a Roland FR7. Brian Jenkins, Peter Whiteley, Jean Hanger and Bert Santilly capably led orchestral/band workshops. Adrienne Sharpe organised the daily ‘Free n Easy’ concerts and also the ‘Songs of Praise’. The festival will also featured the release of Rob Howard’s new book, ‘An A to Z of the Accordion, Volume 4’, which sold well. For further information email: heather@accordions.karoo.co.uk |

 Bruno Maurice will teach at the Académie Festival des Arcs 2009?, Savoie, from July 20th to August 1st. He will also perform concerts on themes by Piazzolla, Berio, improvisation and contemporary music. Festival des Arcs is the ‘INTERNET’ of the French classical music world. It is the annual meeting place for many French musicians, and most of the professors and musicians are under 45. What makes the festival really special is that the musicians play for almost nothing because they want to do so, and want to give something back for the benefits that they have obtained from the Festival and Academy in the past. This means that there is a very special atmosphere and you see many musicians listening to each other playing - this is quite different from the "prima donna" atmosphere of parts of the music world.
