Ron Hodgson (1929-2014), Carlisle – Royaume-Uniby Rob Howard |
 Ron Hodgson était une des figures emblématiques, très aimée et respectée, de la scène accordéon du Royaume-Uni. Il était un accordéoniste superbe, interprète, chef d’orchestre, professeur, arrangeur, examinateur au British College of Accordionists, Membre du BCA Board of Examiners, président de la National Accordion Organisation, organisateur de festivals et membre de jurys.Né à Carlisle le 22 janvier 1929, Ron Hodgson avait reçu un accordéon en cadeau de Noël en 1935 et avait été reçu aux huit examens de la BCA, dont le dernier avec six mentions. Il jouait dans des orchestres de danse et lorsqu’il fut appelé au service militaire (de 1947 à 1949), il emmena son accordéon avec lui. En 1957, Ron représentait la NAO au festival International des Arts de Moscou, URSS, où il remporta une médaille d’argent. Cette expérience incita Ron à passer aux basses chromatiques. De 1957 à 2005, Ron Hodgson a dirigé une école d’accordéon très renommée à Carlisle. C’est de cette école que vient le très talentueux orchestre d’accordéons Ronmar. Il forma avec Julie Best un duo populaire, très connu dans les clubs d’accordéon et festivals et ayant trois CDs à son actif. Ron Hogdson est décédé le 10 octobre 2014. Harry Hussey a joué lors de son enterrement le 24 octobre. Il laisse sa femme Margaret et son fils Ivor. |

 The final Mundesley accordion festival, which was exhilarating and exhausting in equal measures, took place last week at Richardson’s Holiday Village. There was an abundance of top class playing in concerts from the Paris-Moscow Duo (Domi Emorine and Roman Jbanov), accordion/clarinet duo David Vernon & Dick Lee, virtuoso Pearl Fawcett-Adriano, jazz entertainer Harry Hussey, virtuoso Rosemary Wright, and jazz and swing accordionist Bert Santilly. The festival participants spent much time in the orchestral workshops during each day, culminating in a concert performance in the afternoon of the last day. Congratulations to Heather Smith for organising this and previous festivals at Mundesley, Seacroft (Hemsby), Caister and Pakefield. Her festivals in Blackpool will continue, the next being set for May 10th/15th 2015. The original festival organiser, the late and still missed Malcolm Gee – whose first festival in Norfolk took place in November 1986 at nearby Caister, which starred Toralf Tollefsen and Lars Ek, once described accordion festivals as “a total indulgence in accordions”, and this remains today as true as ever. |

Video 2: Viennese Chamber Accordion Ensemble
Video 3: Viennese Chamber Accordion Ensemble
| Video Music List: 1. Video: Rondo from "A little Nightmusic" by W.A.Mozart 2. Video: 3rd Movement from "Oktett" by Franz Schubert 3. Video: a) "Rosenkavalier-Waltz" by Richard Strauss b) "Java Jive" by Manhattan Transfer The Viennese Chamber Accordion Ensemble took some of the magic of Vienna to the home of Mozart when they were featured at the Thursday night concert of the Coupe Mondiale. The Viennese Chamber Accordion Ensemble was founded in 1967 by Prof. Walter Maurer, well known as a central figure of the CIA while serving several key positions, including as General Secretary from 1975-2006. The ensemble, directed by Werner Weibert comprises the best soloists in Austria and virtually has remained together ever since. One of the secrets of this lasting success is consistency. The repertoire contains all styles and epochs. More than half of their standard programs are compositions from Vivaldi, Bach to Mozart and Mussorgsky, from Johann Strauss to Gershwin, Bernstein, Piazzolla and many more. Success was also achieved through performances of original music by Rudolf Wuerthner, Brehme, Schollum, Jacobi, Dobler or Seiber, just to mention a few. |
