37° Festival/Premio&Concorso Castelfidardo - Italiaby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |

| CASTELFIDARDO – Tempo di iscrizioni per il Festival internazionale di fisarmonica che confermando la location temporale scelta lo scorso anno, si svolgerà dal 19 al 23 settembre preceduto da alcune anteprime itineranti. Il cuore di una manifestazione che nel tempo si è arricchita di eventi a latere che valorizzano in ogni forma l’immagine e le potenzialità dello strumento, rimane il Premio&Concorso per solisti e complessi. Strutturata sul genere “classica” e “leggera” ivi includendo il repertorio di Astor Piazzolla e nove sub-categorie, la partecipazione è aperta a tutti i musicisti che possono utilizzare qualsiasi modello e marca di fisarmonica, compreso il bandoneon. La giuria sarà presieduta da un maestro di carisma universalmente riconosciuto, Claudio Jacomucci, insegnante di fisarmonica e di tecnica Alexander, direttore e docente dell’Accademia Fisarmonicistica Italiana e docente presso il Conservatorio “D’Annunzio” di Pescara. Per soddisfare inoltre le crescenti richieste di assistere alle affascinanti audizioni della categoria più importante (quella dei concertisti), l’organizzazione ha deciso di farle svolgere nel prestigioso Salone degli stemmi del Municipio, che permetterà così l’ascolto ad un pubblico più ampio. Accanto alla sezione competitiva, si sviluppa inoltre la rassegna juniores (riservata agli under 18) e seniores dai toni meno spinti, con programma a libera scelta e un meccanismo di valutazione che non si basa sul punteggio ma su una serie di fattori come l’interpretazione stilistica, la preparazione tecnico-strumentale, la musicalità e l’espressività. Le iscrizioni devono pervenire entro domenica 26 agosto: modulo, info e possibilità di effettuare la registrazione on line su: www.festivalcastelfidardo.it |

 The Accordions Worldwide news for August 28th 1998 reported that leading Zydeco accordionist and bandleader Jo Jo Reed was seriously injured when his car was hit by a drunk driver. Fellow Zydeco musicians rallied round to assist with the resultant medical expenses, and it is also good to be able to say that Jo Jo Reed is today still performing and pursuing his musical career. ACCORDIONIST INJURED BY DRUNK DRIVER - USA Contributed by Dennis Gurwell The Swamp Gators performed at a successful benefit dance for Jo Jo Reed on August 23rd in Gardena to over 200 people. Jo Jo Reed is a Zydeco accordionist from Louisiana. He plays accordion, bass and drums. He was badly injured earlier this year coming home from a gig when a drunk driver going in the opposite direction, crossed over the centre line and hit Jo Jo's car head on. He has had to undergo a series of facial reconstruction surgeries. He is now up and around and is scheduled to play at the Louisiana Zydeco Festival on September 5th and 6th, but has been left with large medical bills. The benefit dance was one of several held this week on the West Coast of the USA. On August 22nd, Geno Delafose and Balfa Toujours performed a concert in Seattle, Washington, and donated their pay to the cause. In the San Francisco Bay area on the same night, Zydeco accordionist Kenny Menard and his band donated their services at another benefit dance. |
