 Domi Emorine and Roman Jbanov, known as world the ‘Paris Moscou' Duo gave a series of school concerts in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, from September 22nd to 25th 2008. The musicians went to 5 different schools to make known the accordion to more than 2,000 teenagers.Roman Jbanov began by presenting the instrument, its origins, and demonstrating the different sounds of the stops and possibilities of the accordion. Afterwards, the duo took the plunge facing an audience much more inclined towards modern music. Surprisingly, the young students, very attentive and responsive in their vast majority, warmly appreciated this wide repertory, from Paris to Moscow, from French musette to traditional Russian classics, as well as Roman’s humour in his presentation of the pieces. Students were even involved in the show by singing the famous ‘Cuckoo Waltz’, arranged by Maurice Larcange, admirably played solo by Domi Emorine. Thunderous applause and many encores at the end of the concert proved that the duo ‘Paris Moscou' managed to revive the accordion in the eyes of young people and perhaps even attracted interest for this wonderful instrument. Many thanks to Roman and Domi for allowing all these young people to hear such beautiful music. |
