Confédération Mondiale de l’Accordéon (CMA) President Frédéric Deschamps reports that the CMA and Trophée Mondial international competition organized by CMA is thriving. Since Frédéric Deschamps (picture left) became CMA President in 2004, the CMA membership has grown to include members from Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, China, USA and now a new member from Portugal. Gonçalo Pescada is a professor at several conservatories and music schools in the south of Portugal. Deschamps credits the warm family atmosphere and the quality of its delegates for encouraging the growth of CMA. For two consecutive years, Gonçalo Pescada has invited Frédéric Deschamps to conduct masterclases teaching classical and entertainment, for both advanced players and young players. Deschamps reports impressive performances from 11 to 13 years age students, and wrote, that the names to remember in the next generation are Francisco Monteiro, Nelson Nunes and Luis Mira. These three young Portuguese will be joining other students from Russia, China, USA, Mexico and Chile for Deschamps seminars, to be held in France between 6th July and 15th September. The 2014 Trophée Mondial is being held, 23rd to 28th September in Kaunas, Lithuania. Full information online at: CMA |
