 Natalia Purits, Russian accordion teacher and the mother of the highly accomplished international competition winner Josif Purits, died on July 13th in a tragic accident in Norway. Natalia fell off a cliff, and into a river where she drowned. She had recently been seriously ill, had had operations, and was in Norway on a holiday to recuperate. Natalia’s late husband Josif briefly taught their young son Josif (born 1988), and she then took over the teaching following Josif senior’s sudden death in 1996. Their son went on to win many international competitions and perform concerts around Russia, Eastern and Western Europe. Natalia was a well-known teacher, and last year led master classes at the Palanga Festival in Lithuania. For further information email: elibass@bk.ru |
