Sean MontgomeryШон Монтгомери (Sean Montgomery), менеджер по продукции V-Accordion компании Roland Europe (фото справа) пишет: «Компания Roland рада сообщить о выходе существенного обновления системы для своего флагманского FR-8X V-Accordion ‘Version 2’. Это бесплатно устанавливаемое обновление добавляет много новых улучшений и усовершенствований, призванных сделать FR-8X еще более универсальным в любой музыкальной ситуации.

Обновление 'Version 2’ будет официально представлено Уве Штегером (Uwe Steger) на специальном семинаре, который состоится 1 ноября в субботу в рамках 67-ого «Кубка Мира» в Зальцбурге, Австрия.

Компания Roland недавно объявила о соглашении с компанией Fatar Srl, которое гарантирует продолжение производства V-Accordion в Италии.

Рон Ходжсон (Ron Hodgson – 1929-2014), Карлайл – Великобритания

Ron HodgsonРон Ходжсон был одним из основоположников появления аккордеона на сцене Великобритании, уважаемых и очень любимых. Он был превосходным аккордеонистом, дирижером, преподавателем, композитором, аранжировщиком, инспектором и членом совета Британского Колледжа Аккордеонистов, председателем Национальной Аккордеонной Организации (НАО), организатором фестивалей и членом жюри различных конкурсов.

Родился он в городе Карлайл 22 января 1929 года. В 1935 году Рон Ходжсон получил аккордеон в качестве рождественского подарка и сдал все 8 экзаменов Британского Колледжа Аккордеонистов, из них шесть с отличием. Он играл в танцевальных ансамблях, а когда был призван на национальную службу в армии (1947-49), то взял свой аккордеон с собой. Во время обязательных туров по Германии и Голландии Рон по-настоящему увлёкся аккордеоном: «Именно там я услышал аккордеон таким, каким он должен быть», - вспоминал он позже. В 1957 году Рон представлял НАО на Всемирном Фестивале Искусств в Москве, СССР, выиграв серебряную медаль. Этот опыт помог Рону научиться играть на выборной системе.

С 1957 по 2005 Рон Ходжсон возглавлял очень успешную аккордеонную школу в Карлайле. Среди его учеников Макс Хьюлистон (Max Houliston), Джули Бест (Julie Best), Крейг и Скотт Брэдли (Craig and Scott Bradley), Ричард Корри (Richard Corrie) и многие другие. В школе был создан профессиональный оркестр аккордеонистов ‘Ronmar’, который дважды становился победителем Британского национального чемпионата. В 1990-е годы Рон Ходжсон и Джули Бест создали популярный дуэт, известный в местных аккордеонных клубах и на фестивалях. Дуэт выпустил три CD.
Шотландский аккордеонист Гэри Блэр (Gary Blair) вспоминает: «Я как-то позвонил Рону поздно ночью перед конкурсом НАО, организатором которого я был, поскольку один из членов жюри подвел меня. Он пришел с утра, отработал весь день и не взял ни копейки, даже на бензин! По такому поступку можно оценить человека. Мне будет не хватать его».
Рон был известен многим как дирижер оркестра на таких аккордеонных фестивалях, как ‘Caister’ и 'St Audries Bay’, где он щедро делился своими обширными знаниями о музыке и аккордеоне.
Рон Ходжсон скончался 10 октября 2014 года. Гарри Хасси (Harry Hussey) сыграл на его похоронах 24 октября. У Рона остались жена Маргарет и сына Айвор.

Mundesley Festival Finale, Norfolk – UK

Heather Smith and GeofThe 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.

Viennese Magic in Mozarts' Salzburg - Austria

Video 1: Viennese Chamber Accordion Ensemble
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.
