 Organised by Kathleen Delaney Dance Co and the Accademia Fisarmonicistica, international and trans-generational dancing performances involving accordionists will take place in May and June in Amsterdam. There will be two Dutch premieres at the Italian Cultural Institute May 3rd, 8pm, and at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam, on May 4th, 8.30 pm. Among the events on May 3rd the Istituto Italiano di Cultura will host a concert by musicians of the Italian Accordion Academy (Vincenzo De Nitto, Fabio Palma, Andrzej Grzybowski, Przemek Wojchiechowski, Marco Pasculli, Ezio Testa) who will present a musical programme with original and transcribed works for the classical accordion. Music featured will include compositions by Ligeti, Bizet, Kusyakov, Tiensuu, Krzanowski, Jacomucci, Beltrami, Takahashi, Ganzer, Pärt, Bach, Ginastera, and Komitas. At the Bimhuis, on May 4th, two compositions for choir and accordions: ‘Arcana’, a piece for choir and ensemble of accordion, commissioned to Claudio Jacomucci in 2013, which explores vocal and instrumental musical traditions of some distant cultures (Inuit, Kecac, carnatic music and shakuhachi), and ‘Olson III’ (1967), which can be considered one of the most powerful compositions by minimalist composer Terry Riley. Based on the repetition of short fragments of text, the piece is inspired by Zen philosophy, the Indian Raga, and the Balinese Gamelan. ‘Olson III’ is performed by the Coro Polifonico Durantino, Italian Accordion Academy, and dancers Kathleen Delaney and Roberto Lori. Also at the Bimhuis, there will be a performance of ‘Suite Venetienne’/‘Follow me’, a new creation by the choreographer Kathleen Delaney, inspired by the intriguing multimedia text of the photographer Sophie Calle, who followed strangers to photograph them, and that in this peculiar text documents a trip in the labyrinthine city of Venice, made in incognito to follow a man met briefly in Paris. Performed by Kathleen Delaney herself, and by Roberto Lori, the work is enhanced by the presence of Claudio Jacomucci and Daniele Roccato, respectively accordionist and double bass player who are considered to be among the most interesting musicians in the contemporary music scene. There will also be performances on June 3rd and 4th at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura and at the Bimhuis. For further information email: accordionconference@gmail.com |
