 On March 21st Tania Lukic-Marx was reported as having visiting her home town in Yugoslavia in that week’s news on Accordions Worldwide. Tania, who had emigrated to Australia, is now a leading figure in the accordion movement ‘Down Under’, and well known to regular readers of the AWW news.YUGOSLAVIA TRIP Contributed by Tania Lukic-Marx After two and a half years I was glad to be back in my home town, Kragujevac and to see my family and friends. Many things have changed there since my last visit in 1994. One of the things that has changed for the better is the accordion in Kragujevac. While I was there, I visited the Music School (that I had attended from age 9 to 18), and had an opportunity to hear accordion students performing. I was very impressed with the playing standard. Radomir Tomic (my teacher from 1981) and other teachers have worked hard to create some very good Yugoslav accordion students that have competed successfully in competitions at Klingenthal and Castelfidardo, and the Coupe Mondiale. My very close friend Milan Tomic (Radomir's brother), is organising an annual event each July called Summer School for the Accordion. This event runs for 10 days, and is attended by 30 to 40 accordion students. This year Professor Semionov and Professor Hugo Noth have been invited to tutor. |
