Луи Ф. Коппола (1937-2020) скончался - СШАby Joan Grauman Morse, AAA Historian |
  American Accordionists' Association (AAA) очень опечалена сообщением о том, что наш любимый Луи Ф. Коппола скончался утром 20 апреля 2020 года от осложнений лейкемии.Лу, родившийся 25 мая 1937 года в Бриджпорте, штат Коннектикут, с его притягательностью и обаятельностью, всю свою жизнь пропагандировал и дарил замечательную аккордеонную музыку. Великий посол по аккордеону и потрясающий сторонник ААА! Мир аккордеона потерял одного из лучших. Пожалуйста, посетите прилагаемую биографию Лу, а также видео, ежедневные отчеты Accordions Worldwide и слайд-шоу из жизни Лу. Все вышеперечисленное было подготовлено к награде Лу ААА за жизненные достижения, врученной ему в Александрии, штат Вирджиния, июль 2018 года. Чтобы посмотреть их, нажмите: Lou Coppola |

Новая аккордеонная обучающая цифровая помощь - СШАby Heather Masefield Secretary, New Zealand Accordion Association |

| Эрнесто Зурита Руис (США) посетил Новую Зеландию в начале марта этого года. Во время своего визита он присутствовал на репетициях North Shore Accordion Orchestra в Окленде. Сначала он посетил репетицию создателей музыки (фото выше) под руководством Christine Johnstone. Он объяснил детям, что разрабатывает новую цифровую систему обучения аккордеону для детей, играющих на аккордеоне. Затем он посетил репетицию оркестра Аккордеонного Симфонического оркестра Окленда под управлением Lionel Reekie. По возвращении в США он закончил семестр в Университете Портленда по машиностроению и хотел отправить обновленную информацию о своем проекте в New Zealand Accordion Association. Он сказал: «Через несколько недель после моего визита я начал работать над грубым физическим прототипом моей идеи обучения цифровому аккордеону. Это было для того, чтобы я мог показать что-то осязаемое на Venture Challenge в Портлендском университете. Этот конкурс был проведен вчера, где я выступил перед судьями, которые имели опыт работы среди юристов в области интеллектуальной собственности, маркетологов и разработчиков продуктов. Моя венчурная идея (которую я назвал «Accord-On!») Заняла второе место в конкурсе. Это дало мне призовой фонд в размере 750 долларов США, чтобы помочь мне продвинуть свой прототип, и позволило мне принять участие в полуфинале конкурса InventOregon в конце сентября этого года». New Zealand Accordion Association благодарит Эрнесто за его работу и надеется, что он преуспеет в этом предстоящем конкурсе и разработке «Accord-On!». |

The orchestra has just released an online video of the newly composed piece by orchestra Director Hans-Günther Kölz entitled “Wirhaltenzusammen”. The orchestra has continued to play actively during the time of the Corona crisis and thus did not lose contact with each other.
