Международный конкурс аккордеонистов, Алкобаса – Португалияby Aníbal Freire |
 Анибал Фрейре (Aníbal Freire), президент Ассоциации Аккордеона города Алкобасы, пишет: «Пятнадцатый конкурс Accordion National Trophy и Первый международный конкурс Accordion International Prize ‘Cidade de Alcobaça’ прошли с огромным успехом. Конкурсы исполнительства на этом благородном, интеллектуальном и, в то же время, популярном инструменте, привлекли молодых исполнителей из Португалии, Испании, Франции, Италии и Сербии (представители России и Польши не смогли приехать).Вновь Алкобаса доказала, что находится на переднем крае музыкального искусства, в частности, исполнительства на аккордеоне, показала возможность приглашать на такие конкурсы большое число участников. Внутри страны – это ведущий город аккордеонного искусства. Что касается международного положения, конкурсы, проводимые в этом городе, достигли уровня, близкого к лучшим международным конкурсам мира, не только в отношении количества конкурсантов, но и в отношении высокого художественного уровня участников. As always, the Associação De Acordeão De Alcobaça committed itself to placing Portugal and Alcobaça names in the memory of all who have visited us and participated in these events. Названия Португалия и Алкобаса останутся памяти всех, кто посетил нас и принял участие в этих мероприятиях. Алкобаса и Аккордеон идут рука об руку уже 15 лет. Мир аккордеона, безусловно, всегда будет благодарен Алкобасе – «Земле Страсти». Дополнительная информация по e-mail: anibalfreire@hotmail.com |
Нейл Фодден (Neil Fodden),1939-2010, графство Дербишир – Великобританияby Rob Howard |
 Нейл Фодден, редактор журнала “Accordion world” скончался от инсульта во вторник 27 апреля 2010.Он родился на северо-востоке Великобритании в 1939 году, начал играть на аккордеоне в возрасте 10 лет и уже вскоре выступал в местных пабах, клубах и танцевальных залах. В те дни акустической музыка была еще популярна, и слово дискотека еще не было изобретено. Способности Нейла раскрывались на вечерах бальных танцев, где он много выступал. Он стал одним из первых исполнителей на электронном аккордеоне, записал две пластинки танцевальной музыки – “Stepping Out” и “Stepping Out 2” под псевдонимом Алан Нейл. В конце 1960-х Нейл начал работать инженером в Замбии, где он играл на танцевальных вечерах от Лусаки до Китве, аккомпанировал приглашенным артистам. Пять лет Нейл был секретарем Национальной аккордеонной организации Великобритании, а в последнее время, начиная с февраля 2008 года, редактором журнала "Accordion World", став преемником покойного Дэвида Кина. У Нейла остались жена Кэт и дочь Карина. Карина Фодден, аккордеонистка и победитель многих конкурсов NAO, возьмет на себя руководство журналом, которой будет продолжаться работу, как раньше. Друзьям Нейла, аккордеонистам всей Великобритании, будет его очень не хватать. Покойся с миром. |

John Kirkpatrick contributes various traditional nautical themes to suit the moods. One sequence features a pattern of air noises conjured up by his button accordion, in an abstract impression of the wind and the waves. |

 An accordion orchestra course, aimed at players from elementary to advanced standard takes place from May 30th to June 3rd at the Ariel Centre, Ilfracombe, Devon. The tutors are Ian Watson and Julie North. Ian Watson writes: “Participants are always encouraged to play as much as possible but are free to sit out certain pieces or sections that might be too advanced - as yet! As this is really a completely new venture (moving to Devon), we are hoping that if any group/band could send 3/4 players then they could perform a pre-rehearsed piece in the concert. My group from Morley college will be there and the local band in Illfracombe will play a piece. There are loads of types of accommodation from camping to log cabins to 5* hotels within a 2 mile radius of the rehearsal venue”. For further information email: i.watson99@googlemail.com |
