Hubert Gall - 12 Anni "KA" al Cirque du Soleil - Las Vegas/USA

Hubert Gall
Hubert Gall and Holda Paoletti-KamplSono passati alcuni anni, da quando Hubert Gall ha deciso di trasferirsi a Las Vegas e per iniziare la sua avventura con il circo più famoso del mondo - il "Cirque du Soleil" creato da Guy Laliberté che ha iniziato la sua carriera come mangiatore di fuoco, giocoliere e fisarmonicista a Montreal.

Nel 1984 Guy Laliberté fondò il Cirque du Soleil grazie alla sua grande amicizia con un miliardario che ha incontrato durante un viaggio a Las Vegas, che ha deciso di finanziare integralmente il progetto Laliberté.

Oggi l'azienda è considerata la più importante al mondo nel settore dello spettacolo e conta circa 4.000 dipendenti.

Hubert Gall sta collaborando da molti anni, esibendosi con le sue fisarmoniche, acustica, digitale e diatonica ogni sera davanti a circa 4.000 persone, che vengono a vedere lo spettacolo di corsa ormai da 12 anni, noto come "KA" al magnifico MGM di Las Vegas!

Ho avuto il piacere di incontrare Hubert Gall personalmente la scorsa settimana e di guardare lo spettacolo così come il "dietro le quinte!". Io sono nelle immagini a destra e sotto (in nero) con Hubert Gall e alcuni del cast.

Nel 2009 Accordions Worldwide ha pubblicato un'intervista con l'interessante artista - per saperne di più: http://www.accordions.com/interviews/gall.aspx

Slavko Avsenik (1929 – 2015), Begunje – Slovenia

Slavko Avsenik
Slavko AvsenikSlavko Avsenik, known as ‘The King of Oberkrainer music’, was Slovenia’s most famous folk accordionist and composer, personifying and popularising his country’s indigenous music in many parts of the world. His influence on accordionists of polka traditions in Slovenia, Europe and America was long lasting and profound.

Avsenik’s career took off in 1953 with the formation of the Brothers Avsenik ensemble, a quintet that recorded over 1000 songs/tunes, enjoyed enormous success in Slovenia and many parts of Europe and America, and Avsenik himself became viewed as a Slovenian cultural icon. Avsenik performed on radio and TV, before several heads of state, and sold 12 million records in his long and consistently successful career.

In 1953 Avsenik’s recently formed band did their first broadcast on the ‘Slovene Hour’ radio show from Austria, and were soon making radio and TV broadcasts in West Germany, where they also began appearing in concerts and movies. In 1960 Avsenik landed a lucrative recording contract with Telefunken-Decca, and his ensemble recordings were marketed throughout Europe, making him widely known. Career highlights included a 1961 performance before over 80,000 in the Berlin Olympic Stadium, tours of the USA and Canada in 1970 and 1985, and a one-hour German TV network special in 1980.

As Slovenia's most popular music band, Slavko Avsenic and his group won many awards including eight consecutive TV competitions, twelve from German network television, eighteen as Germany's most popular band, the recording industry's ‘European Oscar’ in 1975, the ‘Golden Rose Award’ (most requested on Austrian radio) in 1979, the Linhart plaque (Slovenia), and the ‘Hermann Löns’ award from the German Ministry of Culture.

Avsenik collaborated with his brother, Vilko, to compose nearly 1000 original songs, many of which have found their way into the so-called Cleveland polka tradition.

Slavko Avsenik died on July 2nd 2015 at the age of 85.

Accordionist Rebecca Bracewell Overcomes Severe Hearing Loss, BC – Canada

Rebecca BracewellTeenage accordionist Rebecca Bracewell, 18, who overcame severe hearing loss, will perform two works by Astor Piazzolla — ‘Libertango’ and ‘Oblivion’ — as one of two soloists with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra at ‘Symphony Splash’ in Victoria, BC, Canada, on August 2nd. It will be the first time Splash has included an accordion soloist. She commented, “It’s such an honour to be the first accordion player. It’s so exciting. I’m so glad I was picked for this”. The other soloist is 16-year-old Ben Parker, who will play ‘Trumpet Concerto’, by Alexander Arutiunian.

Rebecca Bracewell was diagnosed with severe hearing loss as a three-year-old and uses hearing aids. She started piano lessons at age seven and switched to the accordion just three years ago. Last year, Bracewell was judged the best classical accordionist under 18 at the Victoria International Accordion Festival. She also recently placed at the Leavenworth International Accordion Celebration in Washington State.
Rebecca studies with Jelena Milojevic, concert soloist and the Artistic Director of the Victoria International Accordion Festival. “She’s definitely one of the young (accordion) leaders of her generation in Canada,” Milojevic said. “One would never guess she has hearing aids. It’s extremely amazing. She has an incredible talent.”

Tania Miller, Victoria Symphony’s music director, said selecting an accordionist and a trumpeter as soloists was a deliberately unorthodox choice. “I’m completely thrilled with both of them, because neither is a pianist, neither is a violinist,” she said.

Modern Accordion Video Contest Internazionale - Italia

Modern Accordion Album, Marco Lo RussoL’Associazione Culturale Musicale Marco Lo Russo Music Center di Sermoneta (LT) in collaborazione con l’Associazione Giuseppe De Santis di Fondi (LT) e la Flipper Music Srl Edizioni Musicali lancia il concorso International Video Contest MODERN ACCORDION.

Il progetto ha l’obiettivo di promuovere l’ideazione e l’originalità di video clip, realizzati da video maker professionisti e non, ispirati all’album MODERN ACCORDION del Maestro Lo Russo, nato e commissionato come lavoro discografico per la sincronizzazione con le immagini (spot, Tv e Cinema). Diciassette tracce dove le sonorità della fisarmonica si fondono con arrangiamenti elettronici. Un’intuizione, quella del Maestro Marco Lo Russo, che spazia tra world music, chill out, etno-jazz, tango, fino all’EDM, espressioni delle sensazioni contemporanee.

Modern accordion è divenuto uno spettacolo che ha varcato i confini europei grazie alla collaborazione con diverse compagnie di teatro danza che ne hanno coreografato le preziose tinte sonore in numerosi palcoscenici internazionali. Il lavoro discografico commissionato dalla prestigiosa Flipper Music diretta da Romano di Bari è un vero e proprio concept, acustico con contaminazioni elettroniche, che vede protagonista la fisarmonica, uno strumento poliedrico che tra le mani del Maestro si anima in modo così moderno da sdoganarsi dal ruolo secolare di strumento popolare.

I video maker che vogliano trasferire questa ispirazione nella loro creazione artistica, vedranno la loro opera proiettata durante l’edizione 2015 del FONDIfilmFESTIVAL, organizzato dall’Associazione Giuseppe De Santis. L’evento si svolgerà dal 19 al 27 Settembre 2015 nella città di Fondi, in provincia di Latina. Una giuria d’eccezione, tra cui i registi Emanuele Giliberti e Ruggero Gabbai, addetti ai lavori e personaggi del mondo dello spettacolo, premierà il vincitore che avrà la possibilità di collaborare con la Flipper Music e realizzare video aziendali.

Ogni partecipante potrà scegliere un brano contenuto nell’album Modern Accordion ascoltando tutte le tracce dal link: https://soundcloud.com/marco-lo-russo/sets/modern-accordion-1, acquistabili su ITunes: https://itunes.apple.com/it/album/modern-accordion-travel-lifestyle/id582165952, per creare la propria opera video con il brano che più lo ispiri. A seguito dell’iscrizione, totalmente gratuita, verrà inviato il brano scelto in formato mp3.

I video vincitori diventeranno i video clip ufficiali delle composizioni di Modern Accordion, inoltre sono previste proiezioni durante manifestazioni sul territorio nazionale e riconoscimenti speciali da parte della Flipper Music per le opere video più meritevoli. Hai tempo fino al 25 agosto 2015 per lasciarti ispirare dalla fisarmonica del Maestro Marco Lo Russo e presentare il tuo video! Sono ammessi video realizzati con qualsiasi dispositivo e supporto.
