Harmonikafestival 2005, Trossingen - Deutschland

Harmonikafans passt auf! Bald ist es wieder so weit. Das Weltharmonikafestival, welches alle 4 Jahre stattfindet, wird in Trossingen/Schwarzwald, vom 2. bis zum 6. November 2005 abgehalten. Organisiert wird der Event von der Fédération Internationale de l' Harmonica (FIH).

Abgesehen von Konzerten und Seminaren, wird das Festival auch Wettbewerbe und eine Auswahl an Meisterklassen anbieten. Ein ausgedehntes Workshop- Programm wird alle Aspekte des modernen Harmonikaspielens abdecken. Wie in der Vergangenheit wird diese Veranstaltung viele verschiedene Harmonika- und Musikstile darstellen. Eine weiterer Höhepunkt ist die legendäre "Late Night Session", die jedem die Möglichkeit anbietet, mit den Profis auf der Bühne zu musizieren und nicht zuletzt die Möglichkeit bietet, mit alten und neuen Freunden dieses gigantische Festival zu feiern.

Akkordeon- und Cembalo- Duettkonzert - Kolumbien

Letzten Monat gaben der Akkordeonist Làcides Romero und die Cembalospielerin Liliana Hernàndez im Kulturzentrum der Universidad Pedagógica Nacional in Bogotà in Kolumbien, ein Duettkonzert. Während des ersten Teils des Konzertes führten sie verschiedene Barockstücke vor, wie zum Beispiel das Händel Concert in FM Op. 4#5.

Während des zweiten Teils spielten sie Serenata Espanola (Oliver Metra) und drei Kompositionen des Akkordeonisten Làcides Romero, " Catalina, Marcela und Adriana", vor. Das Publikum genoss diese ungewöhnliche Paarung der Instrumente, die eine wundervolle Klangharmonie ergaben, zuzuhören.

Akkordeon…führt! - GB

Diese vor kurzem in der Sunday Times (Groß Britannien) erschienene Schlagzeile ist überhaupt nicht über das Akkordeon, sondern über ein Pferd namens "Accordion Etoile", welches Paul Nolan gehört und durch häufige Pferderennerfolge beachtliche Werbung empfangen hatte.

Vor ein paar Jahren musste das 6-Jahr alte Pferd"Accordion Etoile" wegen Krebs an einer bösartigen Warze am Fußgelenk operiert werden, aber erholte sich so gut, dass er heute eines der 8 irischen Starpferde ist, die die Meisterschaft der letzten Saison bestritten haben. Falls sie also Akkordeon spielen, und eine Pferdewette abschließen wollen, könnte Accordion Etoile ein gutes Ergebnis bringen!!!

Koda Return To "T In The Park" Festival - Scotland
Contributed by Keith Dickson

KODA were invited again this year to perform at Scotland's biggest Music Festival "T in the Park" held in Balado near Kinross.

Band member Keith Dickson writes: "Once again, the sun was shining, with several members of KODA travelling on Saturday to experience great bands such as Keane, Embrace, the Killers and the Foo Fighters. However, it was our performance in the Ceilidh Tent on Sunday that we were most looking forward to.

Sunday was a fantastic day; the sun was again glorious, with some people getting a bit too much of it! The crowds were enormous with the Main Stage and the NME Stage packed out with big names such as Green Day, Razorlight, Travis and Athlete really enjoying playing their recent hits to the lively Scottish audience.

Situated between these stages was the Ceilidh Tent where KODA were performing. We attracted a large and passionate crowd, performing a wide selection of old favorites and new tracks such as Blair's 21st, Alternative Frequency and Jock the Box.

KODA's version of Dignity and Loch Lomond had the crowd singing, waving flags and sitting on each others shoulders, much to the security guards displeasure!All the band had such a brilliant time with some members signing autographs (some in strange places!) and receiving tremendous encouragement from this great festival audience."

Argentine Chango Spasiuk at Womad Rivermead Festival - UK

One of the stars at Womad Rivermead Festival in Reading, 29-31 July was Argentinian accordionist Chango Spasiuk. A dashing figure with flashing eyes and a long red-gold mane, the 36-year-old accordion virtuoso is the musical figurehead of Argentina's Misiones province.

It's a place where life, culture and even music have been moulded by back-breaking agricultural labour - cultivating the leaves for the national beverage mate. 'Imagine a pot that's been bubbling for 400 years," says Chango Spasiuk, "with different musical influences being thrown in - African, baroque, Indian, Eastern European - but everything going on simmering together. That's the way music has developed in the tierra colorada - the red land." Certainly the musical style of popular accordionist Chango Spasiuk has traveled far beyond the shores of Argentina.

Stolen Paolo Soprani Accordion, Catskils Irish Arts Week - USA
Contributed by Harley Jones

Accordionist Jim Coogan had several accordions on the porch of the Weldon House, East Durham, NY during Catskills Irish Arts week. On the 14th July, Jim was approached by a man who said he was a friend of a friend and that he wanted to try out a new Burke whistle with a Castagnari accordion.

He asked Jim to play a few tunes with him - and when he left, Jim noticed that the brand new Paolo Soprani Jubilee Grey Box BC (with a funky F# in the high register) was gone. Jim is not sure if it was a ploy to get his attention diverted or a coincidence but Jim has not been able to locate the man since. For further information, look at the Stolen Accordions page.
