Roland Australia & NZ has invited two very special guests to North Shore City, New Zealand to assist us with the performance and promotion of V-Accordion at Coupe Mondiale 2009. Mr Luigi Bruti (left) is the Marketing Director for Roland Europe, home of the V-accordion. Mr Bruti was a central figure in the development of V-Accordion and the establishment in 2007 of the V-Accordion Festival, an international competition that has attracted some of the finest accordionists from around the world. A renowned accordionist himself, Mr Bruti will be on hand throughout the event to share his knowledge and experience of the Roland V-Accordion with musicians and enthusiasts. Our other guest is Mr Ludovic Beier (lower left). Hailing from France, he is one of the finest exponents of jazz style accordion, and will perform on the V-Accordion at Coupe Mondiale 2009 at the Thursday night concert (August 27th) where he will unveil, in a world debut, the latest developments for Roland V-Accordion. Ludovic will also appear in a more informal French themed social setting on the Friday evening (Aug 28th). He is a thrilling and inspiring performer and his is a show that should not be missed. Sales and Marketing Manager for Roland Australia & NZ, Mr Brendan Callinan, says that “the release of the Roland FR7 V-Accordion in 2004 was the culmination of many years of planning and design, and fulfilled a long ambition of Roland’s founder, Mr Ikutaro Kakehashi, to produce a Roland accordion that did justice to both the fine history and tradition of the instrument and Roland’s dedication to developing cutting edge technologies to enhance the musical experience. We are excited about the prospect of the union of fine musicianship and creative technology within the Coupe Mondiale program and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the Confederation Internationale des Accordeonistes.” For more information on Roland visit www.roland.com |

 On April 16th, Finnish accordionist Mika Väyrynen performed the concerto ‘Prophecy’, by Erkki-Sven Tüür, with the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Okko Kamu. Okko Kamu was the winner of the prestigious Herbert von Karajan Competition in 1969. With more than 1100 attendees filling the Tampere Hall, the after concert review was brief – “Mika Väyrynen’s playing can be described with one word - phenomenal!". In addition to his bayan work, Mika recently finished recording a project on bandoneon for NBC Finland. Mika has also been working in Spain on two different teaching engagements, including in Zaragoza, teaching a series of master classes for the postgraduate accordion students, and then later returning to Oviedo, Spain, to conduct Master Classes at Conservatorio Superior de Musica ‘Eduardo Martinez Torner’. As Mika prepares for a busy summer concert schedule, he is completing his new CD called ‘Misterium’, the name of the last work, ‘Sonata No. 7’, dedicated to Mika, by the late Anatoli Kusjakov. The CD is due to be released this autumn. |

  ‘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.
