![]() |
![]() Quest'anno, per la 13a volta l'associazione ha organizzato un concerto solenne per celebrare l'evento internazionale e il compleanno dello strumento, questa volta denominato “6 maggio a ottobre”. Servizio fotografico a: 2021RN-Macedonia Il concerto della Giornata mondiale della fisarmonica si è tenuto nella sala della Filarmonica di Skopje, il 9 ottobre, in un'atmosfera intima con un pubblico ridotto seguendo tutti i protocolli e le raccomandazioni Covid-19. Il nuovo edificio della Filarmonica offre un luogo di alta qualità che gli artisti hanno sfruttato appieno. La sala è stata occupata da un pubblico molto entusiasta che ha reagito con grande commozione e ha premiato i musicisti con i meritati applausi. L’ospite dell'evento è stato il popolare presentatore televisivo macedone Ognen Janeski. Il WAD Gala Concert negli ultimi anni è diventato un importante e prestigioso evento culturale e artistico nel paese e anche all'estero, grazie al fatto che il concerto è trasmesso in tutto il mondo da una TV nazionale. Quest'anno il concerto sarà trasmesso in televisione come parte dei festeggiamenti per la festa nazionale dell'8 dicembre, St. Kliment Ohridski. Il concerto ha visto la partecipazione di rinomati artisti e studenti di fisarmonica della prof.ssa Zorica Karakutovska che hanno eseguito brani di Kusiakov, Semionov, Bete Ilin, Derbenko, Piazzolla, Schubert e Zolotaryov. Al concerto di quest'anno, Zorica ha eseguito la prima assoluta della composizione "Done" di Bete Ilin dedicata al Presidente del MAA Prof.Zorica Karakutovska. Il concerto è stato tradizionalmente sostenuto dal programma nazionale del Ministero della Cultura della Repubblica di Macedonia del Nord.

Ben de Souza insegnamento e spettacolo con la Birmingham Festival Choral Society - Inghilterraby Christine Johnstone |
![]() ![]() Questo lavoro è stato originariamente scritto per coro con accompagnamento di pianoforte e harmonium, ma la parte di harmonium viene sempre più suonata sulla fisarmonica. “Ben de Souza è lieto di essere stato nominato insegnante di fisarmonica alla Salisbury Cathedral School e alla Purcell School, da settembre 2021. È una notizia molto eccitante per la scena della fisarmonica britannica che queste due prestigiose istituzioni offrano agli studenti l'opportunità di studiare la fisarmonica. Questi ruoli vedranno Ben insegnare sia il basso standard al pianoforte che i sistemi di basso libero a pulsanti, oltre a offrire lezioni di musica da camera. Ci auguriamo che queste connessioni diventino stabili e durature e che la fisarmonica rimanga una parte dell'offerta delle scuole per gli anni a venire".
