Stas Venglevski composed a beautiful orchestral piece, ‘Memories of Joe’, to honor the memory of the late Joe Smiell. Its World Premiere was performed at the Saturday evening concert by 11 FMAE participants, who had played under Joe's baton over the years. On the final evening concert, attended by about 400 people, the accordion being presented in high quality in many combinations.

 The following is segments from a recent article in The New York Times:Osvaldo Golijov (picture lower left), one of today’s most sought-after composers, was said to have borrowed excessively from a work for accordion and ensemble, ‘Barbeich’, by Michael Ward-Bergeman (picture top left), a composer, accordionist and close friend. ‘Sidereus’, the subject of this fracas, is a nine-minute overture by Golijov. Osvaldo Golijov, however, said that both works, as well as a string quartet he recently wrote, were partly derived from several discarded minutes of a film score that the two composers collaborated on. That movie was ‘Tetro’, a 2009 film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Osvaldo Golijov has the film credit for original score, although, he said, Mr. Ward-Bergeman helped out on sections. “There was this beautiful material,” Mr. Golijov said. “It didn’t work for the movie, but it worked for music. We decided both: ‘Let’s grab it. Each one can do what he wants.’ ” He said that the two had worked so closely on the scene that it was impossible to separate who wrote what. “Joint ideas, joint material, same room,” he said. Plagiarism? Excessive borrowing? The normal creative process? |

 A new eTracks Rita Davidson Album titled "The Music of Eugene Ettore" has been released. This coincides with the 90th anniversary of the birth of Eugene Ettore (1921-1985). Rita Davidson writes: “For the first time, the music of Eugene Ettore is available worldwide to accordionists. As you listen to these virtuoso selections, you will realize the great value and musical contribution that he made to accordion repertoire.” Eugene Ettore, former president of the American Accordionists' Association, wrote over 300 compositions at all levels including works for solo, duet, ensembles, band, and orchestra. In addition to being an accordionist, he was a professional French Horn player, having played in many symphony orchestras. His great involvement in symphonic music is reflected in his virtuoso compositions which not only showcase the capabilities of the accordion but also have a distinctly orchestral flavor. His unique compositions challenge the musicianship and technique of the performer while they provide a musical treat for all to hear. Rita Davidson is preparing further recordings which will include: The Manhattan Concerto (3 movements), Springtime Caprice, Prelude and Scherzo, Accordion Miniatures, Five O'Clock Rush, Spanish Holiday. Rita Davidson is seeking information, photos, etc. for the Eugene Ettore historical website.

| Ciudad Juarez, the capital of Mexico's Chihuahua state has indefinitely banned the famous norteno group Los Tigres del Norte from playing in the city after the band sang ballads glorifying drug traffickers during a weekend concert. There have been other attempts in Mexico to ban the ballads known as "narcocorridos," but seldom have they affected a mainstream group as popular as Los Tigres. The band has been a mainstay of norteno music for decades, with hits like ‘Contrabando y Traicion’ (Contraband and Betrayal) and ‘Jefe de Jefes’ (Boss of Bosses). "The musical group will not get permits for future shows in the city limits, until such time as authorities decide otherwise," the city said in a statement. The Chihuahua city government said the band violated a three-month-old city ordinance prohibiting songs that glorify traffickers, and that the concert's organizers would be fined "at least 20,000 pesos" ($1,585). |

 The Accordions Worldwide news for March 23rd 1998 included a brief report of an accordion concert on board a street car in Tokyo, which presumably was an unusual event, albeit popular. We wonder who played, and if there was ever a repeat? The following week, Japanese accordion virtuoso Mie Miki, nowadays domiciled in Germany and continuing to be very active, performed in concert in Tokyo. ACCORDIONISTS PERFORM IN TOKYO STREET CAR - JAPAN Contributed by Izuru Shinmyo On Sunday March 8th at 1.30pm a concert entitled ‘Motoko and Sonora Accordion Concert’ was held in a Tokyo Street Car while it was running from Waseda to Sannowa Bridge and back to Waseda, Japan.
