Lips Accordion Workshop and First Performance – Austria & Bulgariaby Dr Herbert Scheibenreif Manager of Friedrich Lips Productions |
For the ninth time, the city of Imst (Tyrol, near Innsbruck) organized a workshop for musicians and artists of different styles from July 7th to 11th 2008. Participants from different countries had the opportunity to combine some relaxing days with artistic activity. Friedrich Lips (from the Gnessin Academy of Music in Moscow) gave solo lessons to participants giving his view of how to solve musical and technical problems, performance on stage, etc. Lips’ next year’s workshop at ‘Kulturlaub’ will take place from July 13th to 18th 2009. Immediately after the workshop Lips continued to Bulgaria where he was invited to perform Giya Kancheli’s work ‘Kapote’ (“Once upon a time” in the Greek language) for bayan and chamber orchestra (Bulgarian first performance) at the festival ‘Varna – Summer’ (founded in 1926) located in a beautiful theatre at the sea. This world-famous composer was born in Georgia and now lives in Brussels, Belgium. The orchestra ‘Moscow Soloists’ was conducted by Yury Bashmet. Lips will perform this work during Moscow’s festival ‘Bayan and Bayanists’ in December again. For further information email: herbert@accordion-cd.co.at |
