Сроки проведения Международного Конкурса «Трофей Мира» – Португалия

CMA logo
Frédéric DeschampsВ 2009 году международный конкурс «Трофей Мира» пройдет в городе Альбуфейра (Albufeira), Португалия, с 23 по 26 сентября. Организаторы – Всемирная конфедерация аккордеонистов (CMA) и представитель Португалии Анибал Фрейре (Anibal Freire).

Португалия имеет давние связи с CMA. Уже в шестой раз Португалия принимает «Трофей Мира»: в 1974 и 1985 году конкурс проходил в городе Кальдас да Райнха, в 1993 – в Сетубале, в 1996 – в Фаро и в 2000 в Алькобасе.

В сентябре этого года конкурс будет проходить в Альбуфейра, прекрасном городе, расположенном на морском побережье Южной Португалии.

Организатор Анибал Фрейре в прошлом участвовал в этом конкурсе и стал лауреатом в 1972 году в категории Junior Classic в Сан Себастьяне (Испания) и в категории Senior Classic в 1974 году в Кальдас да Райнха (Португалия).

All information relating to the categories (programs, time, number of works etc.) is online on the CMA website under "Rules" in French and English.
Вся информация по категориям (программы и их продолжительность, количество пьес и пр.) доступна online на сайте CMA в разделе “Rules” на французском и английском языках.

Дополнительную информацию можно получить по электронной почте Президента CMA Фридерика Дешампа frederic.deschamps@wanadoo.fr

Coupe Jeunesse Competition Report - Czech

Tibor Rácz, Organiser Coupe Jeunesse Competition & Festival, Director Marta Szőkeová Methodical Centre of CzechAt the CIA-IMC UNESCO Nijmegen Congress in 1991, the Marta Szokeová Methodical Centre of Czech expressed its wish for the Slovak selector competition to be called the Coupe Jeunesse. Surrounding countries that are not members of the CIA were invited to compete and also qualify.

In this way, the philosophy of the Methodical Centre – to help young talent on their professional path, to help start their international careers and to help their media reputation – has realized a concrete form in the last years within the framework of this International Accordion Festival.

Since the beginning of this event, hundreds of guests, soloists, chamber groups, orchestras, conductors, composers, such as Frank Marocco, Mika Väyrynen, Viatcheslav Semionov, Jonas Tamulionis have attended. Many of the winners of the world biggest accordion competitions have visited Bratislava or Dunajská Streda where the Coupe Jeunesse Festival has been held.

The Government Office, national and international cultural institutions, ministries, a number of radio stations and TV channels, gazettes and magazines also report the festival, competition and the workshops, showing great international support for the Coupe Jeunesse.

This year’s Festival, February 5th-8th, 2009, gathered 128 participants. At the Coupe Jeunesse there were 27 competitors from 6 different countries. Winners were:
Category A (up to 14 years), Petra Antlová (Czech);
Category B (up to 17 years), Michal Ochodnický (Slovak);
Category C (up to 25 years) Lydia Skatchko (Belarus).

The Slovak TV channels 1 and 2, Slovak radio, and Slovak and Hungarian media regularly reported the competition and the concerts.

The participants of this Festival were real young stars of Europe and the world, winners of many international competitions. They were: the winners of the Czech and Slovak national competitions Petr Vacek and Dominik Frcka; and international winners Vladislav Pligovka (Belarus), Julien ‘Speedy’ Gonzales (France), Grayson Masefield (New Zealand) and Petar Maric (Serbia).

The standing ovations of the audience, the artists themselves could probably report in greater detail – we only seldom see such success.

Koda "Keepin' It Reel" CD, Scotland – UK

Koda consists of 15 members ranging in ages from 14 – 19 years.
Koda Koda, led by Keith Dickson, are well known for their cabaret style performances at the annual NAO UK Championships, where their accordion-led arrangements of Scottish music are always exciting and riveting.

The band, which is based in Biggar, Scotland, consists of 15 members ranging in ages from 14 – 19 years. Eight Accordions, Fiddle and Bagpipes are supported by a lively rhythm section of Piano, Bass, Keyboards, Drums and Percussion with Shelley Clark’s Female Vocals providing even more variety.

"Keepin' It Reel" demonstrates that the essentially ‘live’ quality of their music is certainly not lost in a recording studio, and this latest CD provides compulsive listening from start to finish.

The 12 Tracks include ‘The Bee in the Knickers’, ‘The Farewell Set’, ‘Follow the Heron’, ‘The High Drive’, ‘Caledonia’, ‘Captain Campbell’, ‘Keepin' It Reel’, ‘Helen’, ‘The Heights of Cassino’, ‘The Anniversary Waltz’, ‘Flower of Scotland’, and ‘The Beaumont Rag’.

‘17 Hippies’ on Tour – Germany

‘17 Hippies’ on Stage
The 17 Hippies aren’t really hippies. In fact, there aren’t even 17 of them (13 at last count). But that hasn’t stopped Berlin’s unique and eccentric band called 17 Hippies from performing in various genres — Eastern European folk, French chanson, Cajun/zydeco, and more — developing a unique pop style all their own.

Lyrics sung in German, French, and English are accompanied by accordion, ukulele, banjo, clarinet, bouzouki, and trombone. When the band first started, members intentionally chose instruments they had never touched; twelve years and 1200 concerts later, they’re still playing traditional tunes and instruments in an entirely untraditional way.

Future concert dates for the 17 Hippies include:

February 28th – Sudhaus, Tübingen, Germany
March 1st – Jazzhaus, Freiburg
March 3rd – Muffathalle, Munich
March 4th - E-Werk Erlangen, Erlangen
March 5th - Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg
March 6th - Gloria-Theater, Cologne
March 7th - Kulturfabrik Krefeld, Krefeld
March 8th - Kulturzentrum Kreuz, Fulda
