 Heidi Luosujärvi (picture left) performed the World Premiere of “Unfold” by Gerald Resch, at the Musikverein Concert Hall in Vienna, on October 24th, 2023.Heidi Luosujärvi was born in Rovaniemi, northern Finland, and studied at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki with Matti Rantanen and at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen with Mie Miki. She has won prizes in international music competitions in Germany, Italy, Spain, Luxembourg and Japan. Her concert activity as a soloist and chamber musician has taken the artist all over the world. She premiered numerous works and collaborated with many composers. Since October 2022 she has been professor of accordion at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz. Gerald Resch was appointed Professor of Composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna in 2022. For his work, Resch received, among other awards, the Austrian State Scholarship for Composition in 2003 and 2017 as well as the City of Vienna Promotion Prize in 2011. The work for accordion and string orchestra, entitled “Unfold”, was created in 2022/23. The composer described the title, its meaning and the basic concept of the work as follows: “The title Unfold means unfolding. On the one hand, in the very direct sense that describes the essence of an accordion: its bellows fill with air, which brushes past the metal reeds of the instrument and causes them to sound. The air is then released again in the opposite direction - as when exhaling - and stimulates the tongues to vibrate again. On the other hand, metaphorically as the unfolding of a predefined musical material, which is sampled differently in 5 contrasting movements. This creates continuity (for example, harmonically through the repeated appearance of certain “favorite sounds”) despite the diverse developments of the musical material on a large and small scale”. This development in five movements always revolves around rhythmic and dance elements. The individual movement titles refer to this: 1) Canon alla Rumba – 2) Ostinato – 3) Corrente – 4) Filter: Cadenza – 5) Double: Quasi Tango. Picture below: Gerald Resch & Heidi Luosujärvi |

| A special tribute to Lloyd and Joan Whittaker (pictured above), founders of the “Waiheke Musical Museum” was held last month at the museum on Waiheke Island, Auckland, New Zealand, as part of the Auckland Heritage Festival. The museum reported “In the world of colours it is often said that there is something magical about purple and it is a colour associated with romance. A packed audience at the Museum certainly had a magical experience when they were treated to a multi-media Auckland Heritage Festival event that paid tribute to Lloyd and Joan Whittaker and the story of their romantic life together and how they founded the musical museum. Performers Reg Towers, Anne Willmann, Janneke Vesser, Roger Jeffrey, Richard Bull and Kim Whitaker, all sporting purple rosettes in acknowledgement of Joan Whittaker’s favourite colour, told the couple’s story through a combination of narration, music, photographs and video. To make sure that none of their senses were left untouched, as they left, everyone was treated to a Ginger Gem, the iconic Kiwi bakery item that Joan was famous for. Audience member Rosemary Adler, who knew the couple well, commented “It was wonderful to see Joan and Lloyd’s life celebrated in such a professional and heartfelt way.” |
