Composition award
Fernando ÁvilaVideo: Tango pour Carla di Fernando Ávila, cantata da Martina Jembrišak (Croazia).

Fernando Ávila (foto a sinistra) ha vinto un premio di composizione al 2023 Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) Musicians Contest a Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasile, con il suo pezzo "Tango pour Carla". La musica è stata arrangiata per fisarmonica e archi ed è stata ispirata dal nuovo tango di Astor Piazzolla. Il titolo del brano fa riferimento a Tango pour Claude, del fisarmonicista francese Richard Galliano.

"Tango pour Carla" è stato eseguito in anteprima nell'aprile 2020 dalla fisarmonicista Martina Jembrišak (Croazia), nel suo progetto 60 Seconds of Accordion. Nello stesso anno, il fisarmonicista polacco Nikodem Sobek ha eseguito il brano al Trophée Mondial De L'accordéon, nel quale si è aggiudicato il 2° posto. Nel 2021, Sobek ha eseguito questo brano anche quando è stato campione del mondo senior al 46° PIF di Castelfidardo, in Italia, e alla 74° Coupe Mondiale (Concorso Internazionale di Fisarmonica), a Monaco di Baviera, in Germania, dove ha vinto il 2° premio nella categoria Virtuoso Entertainment.

Fernando Ávila presenterà in anteprima questo pezzo in Brasile, eseguendolo con l'Orquestra de Cordas da Orquestra Sinfônica de Santa Maria, il 22 agosto alle 20:00, presso il Centro Congressi dell'Università Federale di Santa Maria, situato nel Campus Universitario.

Stan Schofield (1931-2023), Burton-on-Trent – UK

Stan SchofieldStan Schofield, along with his late wife Marian, was a very successful and respected accordion teacher, orchestra musical director, and NAO area festival organizer, from Burton-on-Trent in Staffordshire. Stan was the founder of the Stan Schofield Accordion School in 1972 which later changed to the Burton Accordion Society.

Burton-on-Trent was a special place in the history of the accordion in the UK. In 1935 accordionists Les Beckley, Stan Kersey and Ron Wildsmith founded the West Burton Piano Accordion School, which began a long tradition of accordion activity that has lasted until the present time.

Stan and Marian Schofield took up the baton in the post-war years, and their orchestras had many successes in regional and national NAO festivals, and also in the world famous Llangollen Eisteddfod in Wales. The Stan Schofield Accordion Orchestra won the Art Level orchestra section at the NAO All Britain Championships in 1980, perhaps their crowning achievement in competitions.

Leading accordionists from Stan Schofield’s orchestras include John Chilton, Karen Street, Kevin Street, Karina Fodden, and the NAO many times competition winning duo Julie Patrick & Alison Johnson.

Stan Schofield, born on December 10th, 1931, passed away on August 3rd, 2023. He will be greatly missed.
