 |
 В честь 80-летия Джоан Кохран Соммерс известный баянист Стас Венглевски выпустил новый компакт-диск оригинальных сочинений для дуэта аккордеонов 'Summer Sunshine', записанный совместно с Джоан.Диск состоит из 14 треков. В записи некоторых приняли участие Майкл Бритц (Michael Britz – бас) и Энди Ло Дуко (Andy Lo Duco – барабаны). Джоан Соммерс была удостоена звания почетного профессора почетным после ухода из Консерватории Канзас-Сити Университета Миссури (США), где она разработала программу преподавания на аккордеоне и преподавала в течение 40 лет. В период своей аккордеонной деятельности Джоан Соммерс занимала различные должности в нескольких музыкальных организациях, в том числе в Международной гильдии аккордеонистов и преподавателей (ATG) и Международной Конфедерации Аккордеонистов (CIA - IMC- ЮНЕСКО). Профессор Соммерс продолжает работать в жюри, преподавать, писать инструментовки для оркестра аккордеонистов, а также регулярно работает с аккордеонными оркестрами и является вице-президентом CIA. В CIA она основала захватывающий мира Всемирный оркестр аккордеонистов, который в рамках проведения «Кубка мира» дал выступления по всему миру от Шотландии до Китая и Новой Зеландии и в этом году в начале ноября представит свою восьмую программу в Зальцбурге, Австрия. Артистизм, прекрасные технические данные и музыкальность принесли Станиславу – Стасу – Венглевски, уроженцу Республики Молдова, признание как виртуозу баяна. Двукратный победитель баянного конкурса в Республике Молдова, Стас является выпускником Российской Академии Музыки в Москве, где он занимался под руководством Фридриха Липса. В 1992 году он эмигрировал в США . Репертуар Стаса включает его оригинальные композиции, широкий спектр классической , современной и этнической музыки. Он много гастролирует как солист на всей территории бывшего Советского Союза, Канады, Европы и США, в том числе совместно с Доком Северинсеном, Стивом Алленом и Гаррисоном Кейлором в шоу ‘Prairie Home Companion Show’. Он исполнил мировую премьеру «Концерта № 2» Энтони Галла-Рини , а также сочинения ‘Bayan and Beyond’, написанного Дэном Ловицем (Dan Lawitts) специально для Стаса. Он является постоянным участником симфонического оркестра Милуоки в программе Community Education Program (ACE); выступал с Чикагским симфоническим оркестром и симфоническим оркестром Такомы; снялся в телевизионных рекламных роликах, принимал участие в театральных постановках, а также сделал многочисленные записи. Вместе эти два разнохарактерных музыканта объединили свою страсть и знания в области аккордеона, чтобы исполнить свежие, артистичные сочинения Стаса, охватывающие разнообразные стили и настроения от юмора до меланхолии.

Грэмми 2014, аккордеон в составе двух ансамблей победителей – СШАby Rob Howard |
Interview of La Santa Cecilia Group after Awards Presentation
 Группа ‘La Santa Cecilia’, базирующаяся в Лос-Анджелесе, появившаяся в последние пару лет, выиграла в номинации «лучший лэтин рок/урбан/альтернатив альбом» за свой дебютный альбом «Treinta Dias». Если вы еще не слышали их уникальное звучание, в котором слились рок, джаз и латинские ритмы, а также невероятный голос Марисоль Эрнандес, поищите их выступление NPR Tiny Desk Concert. Группа 'Louisiana’s Terrance Simien & The Zydeco Experience’ победила в номинации ‘Best Regional Roots Music Album’ за свои “Dockside Sessions”. Мало того, что Симиен фантастический музыкант, он также был ключевой фигурой в создании номинации "Best Cajun/Zydeco Album» в 2008 году (которую он позже выиграл). Легенда стиля Зидеко Клифтон Шенье также был посмертно удостоен премии Грэмми “Lifetime Achievement” («За заслуги»). Если вы смотрели это шоу, томогли заметить, что в свое время The Beatles получил тот же награду. Довольно хорошая компания для короля Зидеко, а? |
