Концерт Антонио Спаккаротеллы (Antonio Spaccarotella) на Campus International AFAM – Италияby Holda Paoletti-Kampl
|  |
Третий вечер недели шоу-мероприятий, организуемых Консерваторией Tchaikovsky Nocera Terinese (Чехия), прошел особенно динамично и живо благодаря яркому выступлению дуэта Mediterranean Jazz Duo в составе Антонио Спаккаротеллы – аккордеон и Альберто Ла-Нева (Alberto La Neve) – саксофон.
Большая восторженная аудитория наслаждалась выступлением двух музыкантов, исполнивших оригинальную музыку, вдохновленную этническим танго и особенно джазом, в свободном музыкальном стиле с необычными фразами, ритмами, атональностью и «смешанным звучанием».
Этот дуэт успешно концертирует в Европе, и получил высокую оценку со стороны аудитории во время Международного Кампуса AFAM, события, в котором приняли участие более 300 студентов из разных консерваторий Италии и известные музыкальные критики, такие, как знаменитый итальянский музыковед Гвидо Салветти (Guido Salvetti).
Гордый директор консерватории, маэстро Пьерфранческо Пуллиа (Pierfrancesco Pullia), в конце концерта поблагодарил и поздравил двух музыкантов за их великолепное выступление и современный проект. |  |

HotScotch Ceilidh Band, Monte Carlo – Monacoby Rob Howard
|  |
 On August 28th, the HotScotch Ceilidh Band, from Edinburgh, Scotland, were invited out to play in Monte Carlo, Monaco. The band is led by Paul Chamberlain on accordion, with Christine Anderson – fiddle, and Jim Walker – drums. They were providing a Scottish ceilidh for guests on board the super-yacht ‘Christina O’, as part of a wedding celebration with a Scottish connection.
It was a fantastic occasion and the ceilidh went down very well, with popular favourites such as ‘Strip the Willow’ and ‘The Eightsome Reel’, on the rear deck of the boat. Certainly a most memorable event for the band, and enjoyed by the mixture of French and Scottish guests. Their next function is in the magnificent Stirling Castle on Saturday September 4th.
