They arranged to meet up afterwards for a 'cuba libre' – a rum and coke.Gorka Hermosa performed tangos using a bandoneon as a soloist with a Symphonic Orchestra at the San Joseph’s church, Mataró, to a sell-out audience. Martynas’ concert, at BARTS (Barcelona Arts on Stage) was a solo recital that included music by JS Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Galliano, Mozart, Paganini, Piazzolla, Saluzzi, Soler, Tchaikovsky, and Vivaldi. This was also a sell-out concert. |

The tutor is aimed at both piano and button accordion players, and the text is written in Swedish.The accordion tuition is built on playing tunes, so although the text is in the Swedish language the method contains a lot of interesting tunes, carefully and progressively graded from beginner level to semi-advanced.

 Four members of Stockport Accordion Club – Adrienne Sharpe, John Jones, Rob and Marj Howard plus our President Pearl Fawcett-Adriano and her cousin Philip Watson – all attended a one day workshop, ‘Time to Sing’, expertly organised and led by accordionists Karen Street and Karen Tweed at the Rolleston Club near Burton-on-Trent, Derbyshire. There was a rehearsal of well-known songs, such as Bring me Sunshine, Strangers in the Night, Somewhere, Moon River, Goodnight Irene, Over the Rainbow, etc, plus an arrangement of the tango ‘Por Una Cabeza’, by Carlos Gardel. The two Karens offered playing tips, and the rehearsal was lighthearted yet very productive for the 20 accordionists involved. After lunch the afternoon performance for an audience of locals went very well, with lots of enthusiastic singing and spirited playing from our impromptu accordion ensemble. The concert was topped off by brilliant short performances by Pearl Fawcett-Adriano and the Classic Kyiv Duo, the latter on tour from the Ukraine. Pearl’s pieces included ‘The Dance of the Comedians’, ‘O Sole Mio’, ‘La Vie Pariesienne’, and ‘Granada’. The Classic Kyiv Du’ performed ‘Toccata in D’ (JS Bach), selections from ‘Swan Lake’ (Tchaikovsky), and ‘Oblivion’ and ‘Libertango’ (Piazzolla). The event ended with a collection for the Alzheimer’s Society and families still suffering from the Chernobyl disaster. The two Karens have produced a spiral bound songbook + CD, which sold well. It’s fair comment to say that we all left in a happy mood, and of the opinion that we could do with more days like this one! |
