Nel corso di diversi decenni di attività creativa, il trio ha eseguito oltre 200 opere di compositori stranieri e russi, in migliaia di concerti e programmi radiofonici e televisivi. Questo concerto si basa sul repertorio del trio che è una risorsa preziosa per i giovani musicisti. La loro musica sarà eseguita da "A Trio", vincitori del concorso per il premio Trio degli Urali per musicisti di bayan e vincitori di concorsi russi e internazionali. Tra i membri del trio figurano i fisarmonicisti Alexey Shibaev, Andrey Gilyazetdinov e Artur Kazaryan. Scarica il poster per ulteriori informazioni: 2022TrioPoster.pdf |

  Right after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Dušan Markovic (Serbia) came up with the idea of establishing an online International Viber Accordion Community (IVAC). Initially, the idea was to connect colleagues in Serbia and to have all the information about important events in the world of accordion gathered and available in one place. The list of interested accordionists and enthusiasts soon gained an international character, with members from Russia, Belarus, Italy, Spain, France, Ukraine, USA, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, etc. Our members include distinguished professors and organizers of world competitions, festivals and master classes. Therefore, we invite all colleagues to join us in order to further improve cooperation together, make communication as direct as possible and information available to all.

 You are invited to the ATG Professional Development series focusses on how to teach accordion, which is open to all levels of performers, including people who do not teach, but who want to learn a lot! It is scheduled for February 13, 2022 3-5:30 PM CT on Zoom.Murl Allen Sanders will give a talk on how to teach people who are new to the accordion, but who already have a musical background on another instrument. He’ll address “some tips and essential things to address and learn, for both the student and instructor.” Murl is esteemed as both a performer and a teacher—having worked with such diverse artists as Chuck Berry, Etta James, Il Divo, Glenn Yarbrough, and the Seattle Symphony—and he is adjunct faculty at the Cornish College of the Arts and the Shoreline Community College in Seattle. Michael Bridge, DMA candidate at the University of Toronto, will give a presentation on strategies for sight-reading and ear-training, and how to teach it. Michael shares, “I taught courses on this topic as a teaching assistant at the University of Toronto for many years, and have helped many students who struggle with ear-training. Fortunately, on accordion, we have a number of excellent music theory resources built in to our instrument, which we will use to our advantage. We will talk about rhythmic and melodic sight-reading skills, and how to recognize harmonic patterns with your ear.” A few changes: Based on survey results from our successful inaugural workshop last November, we have decided not to cap participation in the hopes of sharing knowledge as widely as possible! Three hours was quite a stretch mentally, so we will aim for two and a half hours, but extra questions will certainly be welcome. The cost of attendance is $60 for ATG members, or $85 for non-members. Register quickly for your front-row Zoom seats! We’re looking forward to a productive discussion.
