Accordionist
Dazzles in Historic Memorial, Melbourne - Australia

Howard
 Melbourne
witnessed one of its rare concerts to feature the accordion in a classical
setting. Visually impaired accordionist, Bernadette
Conlon, performed two concertos with the Melbourne based string
orchestra, The Melbourne Musicians at the prestigious St. John's Lutheran
church at Southgate, one of Melbourne's most coveted performance venues.
Bernadette performed New Zealand composer, Gary
Daverne's 'Concert
Waltz' for strings and accordion, which delighted the audience
with its sweeping Parisian style, as one newspaper critic put it.
She also performed Australia's first concerto for accordion and orchestra,
'Concerto for Bernadette', which she commissioned nine years ago,
from Melbourne composer, Michael Easton, which work Bernadette had
previously recorded for the Naxos label. This performance was a memorial
to Michael, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in London who died,
aged 54, last year.
Bernadette was critically acclaimed in Melbourne's daily newspaper,
The Age, as an accordionist, who played with "agility and relish
in her work", and that the concerto "brought home again
Conlon's
enthusiasm and talent".
