 Members of the Rockford, Illinois Mendelssohn Society were treated on Thursday night to a concert which included the American premier of Australian composer Michael Easton's "An Australian in Paris", a work originally written for orchestra for a Naxos CD of Easton's work, which also included his accordion concerto. The work was commissioned and performed by Australian accordionist Bernadette. The accordion transcription from the piano score, was made by Bernadette, who is now living in the USA.Bernadette's recent concerts have included a great range of music, from classical to light pop and have included her singing. From classical soirees to church concerts, retirement villages, charity concerts etc., Bernadette aims to introduce her mid-Western audience to the accordion as a serious musical instrument, capable of classical and original works as well as ethnic music. |
