‘14 Years Ago’: Robert Davine Honoured in the USAby Rob Howard |
 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending April 28th 2000 included notice of an award to Robert Davine (1924-2001), who founded the Accordion Department at the University of Denver in the 1950s. Both a highly accomplished concert performer and a renowned educator, Robert Davine was one of the leading academic forces in the development of accordion studies in the USA for many years, and also in China, where he led master classes and did much to influence and promote the study of the accordion.Professor Robert Davine Receives Distinguished Teaching Award - USA Contributed by Faithe Deffner, Ernest Deffner Publications Noted accordionist and educator Robert Davine received the ‘Distinguished Teaching Award from the University of Denver where he is a faculty member. This prestigious annual award cites excellence in teaching. Davine recently returned from Budapest, where he completed arrangements for a Faculty Exchange Program between the Franz Liszt Music School (Budapest) and Lamont College of Music at the University of Denver. Professor Davine is about to conclude his compilation ‘A Bibliography of Music for Accordion with Other Instruments’, which will be published later this year in ‘The Free Reed Journal’, edited by Professor Allan Atlas of the Music Department of City College of New York. This project required six years of intense research at the Indiana University and the University of Denver libraries, the Library of Congress, as well as libraries and music information centres in England, Sweden and Norway. The Bibliography will contain over 600 entries, which will assist accordionists who are searching for such literature. |
