| On Saturday afternoon July 1st, 3.30pm, the visiting Leipzig Accordion Ensemble, from Germany, and the London Intermediate Accordion Orchestra perform in concert at St Gabriel’s Church, Warwick Square, Pimlico SW1V 2AD. The programme includes music by Vivaldi, Piazzolla, and original works for accordion ensemble and orchestra. Admission is £8, concessions £6, and under 12s free. The Accordion Ensemble Leipzig Music School was formed in 1999 and currently consists of nine players aged between 16 and 28 years. The ensemble performs a wide range of music, from classical to klezmer. Conductor Valeri Funkner has successfully led the ensemble on several tours, such as the World Music Festival 2013 in Innsbruck and a tour to Syria in 2011. The London Intermediate Accordion Orchestra (LIAO) was formed in 2014. It has around 20 players and is the 'little brother' to the London Accordion Orchestra, which has 40 players and performs all over Europe. LIAO performs original music for accordion orchestra as well as arrangements of pieces written for other instruments. Both of our orchestras have the goal of widening appreciation of this wonderful instrument and LIAO in particular encourages children to participate and experience the joy of playing music with other people. |
