Online: Concerto Beltango "Una Milonga Mas" - Serbiaby Christine Johnstone |
 |
| Il Beltango Quintet di Belgrado, Serbia, eseguirà il loro primo concerto online dal titolo "Una Milonga Mas" il 13 febbraio 2021 alle 21:00 CET, dettagli sul poster qui sopra. Il leader Aleksandar Nikolic scrive: "Stiamo lentamente entrando in una situazione in cui voi, il nostro pubblico, ci mancate molto, ci manca la comunità e dobbiamo anche preoccuparci economicamente. Non abbiamo trovato la giusta via d'uscita dalla situazione, ma dobbiamo fare qualcosa: fare qualcosa è meglio che non fare niente. Questo è il motivo per cui vorremmo suonare per voi nel nostro studio privato nel nostro edificio residenziale a Belgrado, musica dal nostro portfolio che segue un tema. Cos'altro può essere il 13 febbraio 2021, vigilia di San Valentino, se non l'amore. Sosteneteci condividendo questo evento, promuovendolo, acquistando i biglietti. Trasformate il vostro soggiorno in una pista da ballo, per due o con una scopa o semplicemente divertitevi a ricordare le milonghe passate". Il Beltango Quintet ha suonato più di 1.000 spettacoli in oltre 30 paesi, e include Aleksandar Nikolic (bandoneon), Ivana Nikolic (piano e voce), Antonija Barna (violino), Bogdan Pejic (chitarra) e Petar Holik (contrabbasso). Si divertono a suonare una varietà di musica di tango, comprese le composizioni di Aleksandar Nikolic e altri membri del gruppo. |

Rachael Xu sostiene l'International Music Councilby Harley Jones |

| La fisarmonicista undicenne Rachael Xu (Cina) ha annunciato la sua decisione di donare l'intero reddito del suo prossimo tour asiatico estivo all'International Music Council. Il tour inizierà a luglio 2021 e porterà la musicista in Cina, Giappone, Corea e Singapore. Influenzata da suo padre Lin Xu, lui stesso virtuoso della fisarmonica ed ex campione dell'American Accordionists' Association Competition, Rachael ha iniziato a suonare la fisarmonica all'età di 7 anni e ha presto dimostrato un talento eccezionale superando il livello più alto (livello 10) del Provincial Music Proficiency Examination nella categoria Fisarmonica, classificandola come la persona più giovane a superare l'esame a tale livello. Sotto la tutela di Grayson Masefield (pluricampione mondiale di fisarmonica), Rachael ha rapidamente ampliato il suo repertorio e ha gareggiato e suonato a livello nazionale e internazionale, partecipando in media a 30 eventi all'anno.

| Video: The K Trio performs at the 1999 AAA Festival. Selections include: “Jolly Caballero”, “Carnival of Venice”, “Accordiana” excerpts. Thanks to Cory Pesaturo who found the tape in his home movies. His father had filmed the event. Sadly, Julie Kasprzyk Cardona, 72, of North Haven, USA passed away unexpectedly on January 15th, 2021 at her home. She was a member of the K Trio, AAA, American Accordionists' Association and the Connecticut Accordion Association. The K Trio performed all over the United States and were truly a trio of champions. Siblings Mary Kasprzyk Tokarski, Julie Kasprzyk Cardona and Walter Kasprzyk performed nationwide in competitions and concerts as youngsters. As young adults, life moved them to different areas of the United States! After 25 years apart, they all relocated to Connecticut again, and soon after began performing as The "K" Trio.
