‘Vivat Accordion’, Klaipeda – Lithuaniaby Yuri Boldin |
 |
 The 2008 International Accordion Festival ‘Vivat Accordion’ finished very successfully a few days ago in Klaipeda, Lithuania. Established in 1998, the festival featured a number of prominent musicians, including Yuri Medianik, Sergey Osokin, Aidar Gaynulin and Pavel Fenyuk. Along with concerts in an acoustically perfect organ chapel, there were master classes and seminars organised on a daily basis. This year the festival program featured both well known and new names. Three big concerts were given respectively by the Saratov Accordion Trio (with participation of Liudmila Slekonyte), bandoneonist Alexander Mitenev, from The Netherlands, together with the Klaipeda Chamber orchestra, performed Astor Piazzolla’s ‘Aconcagua Concerto’ for bandoneon, and music by Argentinean composer Gustavo Beytelmann. Miroslav Lelyukh, with his new project ‘M-Light’, played jazz and valse musette. Server Abkerimov (Professor from Moscow Gnesin’s Music Academy), together with Miroslav Lelyukh, closed the festival playing chamber music with the participation of Gennady Savkov, a member of Lithuanian Accordion Duet. The festival was attended by hundreds of accordion lovers from all over Lithuania. Year by year ‘Vivat Accordion’ becomes an increasingly very remarkable accordion event in the Baltic. The next festival will be held in October 2010. The Artistic Director of the festival is Robertas Uzgalis. For further information: u.robertas@gmail.com |
