Rencontre musicale des Marches, Castelfidardo - Italieby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
| Une rencontre musicale spéciale a été organisé par le président Massimo Pigini, nouvellement élu le 17 septembre 2020, pour parler du PIF Castelfidardo et du nouveau musée de l’accordéon récemment inauguré, le Musée de Castelfidardo, dont on a parlé dans les nouvelles du AWW : http://www.accordions.com/news.aspx?d=28-Aug-2020&lang=en#art16785 De nombreux fabricants et partenaires ont participé à la rencontre qui avait pour but de maintenir les traditions d’artisanat spécialisé, développer de nouvelles idées et faire que le monde entier voit et entende la musique générée par les excellents instruments fabriqués à Castelfidardo et les accordéonistes italiens et internationaux. Music Marche a collaboré étroitement avec les autorités pour la rénovation du Musée de Castelfidardo, tout en consacrant 10.940 euros à l’"Art-Bonus" qui est un projet du MIBACT/Ministero per i beni e le attività culturali – une partie du gouvernement dédié aux fonds et activités culturels. |

Le CNIMA rend hommage à Louis Corchia - Franceby Nathalie Boucheix, Director CNIMA J.Mornet |

 Vidéo: Menzo Gatte, 14 ans, joue "Roulotte" de Louis Corchia, à Castelfidardo en 2019Le Cnima rend hommage à Louis Corchia à travers l'interprétation de sa composition "Roulotte" par un de ses jeunes étudiants, Menzo Gatte. Nathalie Boucheix, co-fondratrice et directrice du Cnima se souvient des nombreuses prestations en galas et concerts avec son ami Louis Corchia . "Je suis profondément touchée et attristée par le départ de Loulou. C’était un musicien hors- pair, et extrêmement comple . Il faisait toujours l’unanimité et était aimé et respecté par tous. Fidèle en amitié et doté de beaucoup d’humilité, de simplicité. C’était vraiment un homme exceptionnel ! Un modèle pour tous. Je suis profondément émue par son départ prématuré dû à cette terrible pandémie. Il m’a accordé sa confiance pendant de longues années en m’invitant régulièrement dans de nombreux galas et concerts auprès des plus grands. Je lui dois beaucoup et son souvenir restera gravé à jamais au plus profond de mon cœur. Il va beaucoup nous manquer. Le monde de l’accordéon est en deuil et vient de perdre un grand monsieur, un très grand monsieur! Adieu Loulou et MERCI !! Tu seras toujours là près de nous ... " Et Jacques Mornet, le fondateur de l'école, d'ajouter : ''Un grand parmi les grands vient de nous quitter. C’etait un artiste complet, un grand musicien (vainqueur du premier Trophée Mondial en 1951 à Londres) et qui était la fierté de son père Primo qui lui avait transmis génétiquement son immense talent. Sa gentillesse et son honnêteté musicale étaient proverbiales. Il aimait la vie et savait transmettre sa gaieté et sa bonne humeur. Tous les élèves du CNIMA et leur directrice Nathalie se joignent à moi pour présenter à Jeanine son épouse et à tous les membres de sa famille nos condoléances les plus émues. Nous avons choisi Menzo Gatte un de nos plus jeunes élèves pour lui rendre l’hommage qu’il mérite à travers l’interpretation de son « tube » comme il disait, sa fameuse ROULOTTE. Adieu notre ami .... au paradis des anges, là-haut .... Sois heureux d’avoir inspiré toute cette jeune génération dont tu étais si fier." |

 Photo ci-dessus : Christine Johnstone (gauche), Kevin Friedrich (centre) et Linda Litt (droite).L’ambassadeur de la CIA Kevin Friedrich fait l’un de ses plus longs séjours en Nouvelle Zélande loin de sa ville d’adoption de New York, cette fois ci en retournant dans l’école où il commença à étudier l’accordéon, l’école primaire de Dargaville. Les étudiants ayant récemment étudié en Italie, ce fut une parfaite opportunité de proposer un programme éducatif lié à l’accordéon et sa forte relation avec l’Italie. En combinant musique, mouvement et chanson, le programme présenta l’histoire de l’accordéon, de la fabrication à la musique, enchantant les jeunes étudiants de 9-10 ans invités à participer. A travers 5 concerts, environ 150 étudiants eurent la joie d’entendre la musique de Disney, Star Wars and Les films des Muppets, de la musique folklorique, des pièces nouvelles et de la musique maori traditionelle de Nouvelle Zélande. L’ont assisté, l’accordéoniste Christine Johnstone, le rédacteur en chef de AWW et le directeur de l’orchestre le North Shore Music Makers Accordion Orchestra (Auckland, Nouvelle Zélande) et Linda Emmett Litt, (percussion et tympans) la fille de Doreen Emmett, premier professeur d’accordéon de Kevin à l’école primaire de Dargaville dans les années 70. Les concerts reprendront en octobre, quand l’école rouvrira, avec la présentation des concerts par des représentants d’élèves de l’école primaire de Dargaville.

 Alessandro Mugnoz now has a youtube channel. The idea is to tell musical "stories", through various experiences of about forty years. Enjoy this historical recording/video.Felice Fugazza's "Scherzo" (1922-2007), published in 1953 by Farfisa (later Bérben) editions, is one of the first significant Italian compositions dedicated to an accordion ensemble. The author, a truly multifaceted musician (multi-instrumentalist, teacher, composer, arranger, publicist, designer), was one of the fundamental figures for the affirmation and enhancement of the accordion instrument. The present was most likely not our best interpretation, but it is certainly the only one left to testify the ensemble's activity in the early 1980s. The recording, now historical, was made in Potenza Picena (MC) in the summer of 1983; when the group recorded an entire concert / record program in a single session, practically live. Later it was included in the CD "Accordiones in concert", distributed by Prendinota editions. Performers: Alessandro Mugnoz, 1st accordion Miriam Mugnoz, 2nd accordion Andrea Carnevalini, 3rd accordion Fabrizio Sbacco, 4th accordion Edgardo Mugnoz, bass accordion |
