La XV settimana internazionale della fisarmonica ha incluso nel suo programma il XVI Trofeo Nazionale della Fisarmonica, con eventi e concerti straordinari che hanno emozionato il pubblico, che ha considerato questo evento come uno dei migliori che abbia mai tenuto in Alcobaça. In effetti è stato un grande successo.

Il Trofeo Nazionale, ancora una volta, ha offerto circa 40 eventi che coinvolgono circa 40 giovani fisarmonicisti da nord a sud del paese. Molto evidente è stata la componente pedagogica, l'incoraggiamento e il calore tra tutti che hanno partecipato.

Come sempre, la Settimana Internazionale della Fisarmonica ha offerto una Masterclass (con Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi) e concerti di elevata categoria. Evidenziamo il concerto con João Barradas (foto a destra) e il Duo Tango (Pietrodarchi / Luccini); il concerto di chiusura rimarrà intatto come uno dei più belli nella storia di Alcobaça, con un scenario memorabile come il Monastero di Alcobaça (Patrimonio Mondiale dell'Umanità e uno dei sette meraviglie del Portogallo).

L'Associazione di Fisarmonica di Alcobaça e la Orchestra Tipica e Coral di Alcobaça hanno eseguito, ancora una volta e con molto merito, la più grande e variegata espressione artistica della fisarmonica in Portogallo, riconosciuta da appassionati di fisarmonica provenienti de tutto il mondo.

Domi and Roman’s Popular Training Course, La Bourboule - France

Seminar group
For the last 9 years, the Music Association of Dores has organized summer accordion training courses with teachers Domi Emorine and Roman Jbanov. The first week of August included players from 5 countries: France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Russia, and Kazakhstan.

Due to the large numbers attending, Domi and Roman brought in an assistant, Félicien Brut, so that each of the trainees benefited from one period a day with the different teachers. The training course was opened up to every level and to all ages, and different music styles were approached: variety, classic, musette, and jazz.

The training course was held in the premises of the Casino Municipal of La Bourboule. The second day, Domi and Roman, as the Paris Moscou Duo, presented their new album, featuring music by Franck Angelis, in a concert open to the public.

This concert was like a musical trip from Russia to France, by imagining the ‘Troika in the Winter’ of Shalaiev, and by singing Russian and French popular airs.

The end of the training course was followed by a video of the first and last day when students saw their progress made during the training course, after which the trainees gave a concert in the room of the city hall of the Mont Dore. Everybody left satisfied with their musical week with the intention to return in further training courses.

You can follow the information of the activities of Domi Emorine and Roman Jbanov on their site: Paris Moscou Duo
Available online is original music by Franck Angelis.

‏‘14 Years Ago’ – NZ Symphony Orchestra Features Accordionist

Tatiana LanchtchikovaAlong with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra is the only other fully professional Symphony Orchestra in New Zealand. During the past week, they have been performing music to the 1921 classic silent movie ‘The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse’, about the life of a Tango instructor (played by Rudolf Valentino).

Under the baton of Sir William Southgate, the orchestra performs through the entire movie. Throughout, their timing has to be exact, to combine with the movie, which certainly kept the conductor and orchestra on their toes!

A standout feature was accordionist Tatiana Lanchtchikova. As well as being a vital part of the orchestra, on many occasions she performed solo, which was extremely well received by the sellout audiences, which averaged over 1,500 a night.
