Gorka Hermosa World Premieres, Teaching, Beijing Central Conservatory of Music - China

Gorka Hermosa concert and after concert picture, Beijing
Gorka Hermosa and Helmut Jacobs Beijing posterFrom 10th to 16th of March, Gorka Hermosa was invited to the Central Conservatory of Music, Beijing. Invited the same week was German accordionist Helmut Jacobs and both were giving masterclasses to the students of Prof. Cao Xiao-Qing, the Central Conservatory accordion tutor.

These superb students have enjoyed many successes at international competitions and some played compositions of Gorka Hermosa in their masterclasses.

Gorka Hermosa also made a class for the students of composition who this year, must all compose one work for accordion. Gorka explained the great possibilities of our instrument, and played examples of different composers so they might appreciate all the many possibilities of the accordion.

The 12th March, Gorka played a concert in the Concert Hall of the Conservatory playing his own compositions, including two World Premieres: Oda (dedicated to Christine Rossi) and Saudade Ártica (dedicated to Paulo Jorge Ferreira).

The same day, Dr. Pr. Helmut C. Jacobs also gave a concert playing some Spanish baroque fandangos and original works by Regondi, Roeseling, Brehme and Hermosa`s “Ekigrama”.

The 13th March was a very interesting meeting between Gorka Hermosa, Helmut Jacobs and the Professor of Cheng, the first free reed instrument. Of great interest was the different ways of playing the Cheng and the performance of various Cheng students.

On the 15th March, Gorka and Helmut each gave a seminar about the history of the accordion to the students of accordion which included a lot of new information from recent historical research.

Thanks to Cao Xiao-Qing.

Ivano Battiston ‘Lifetime Achievement’ Award, San Miniato – Italy

Ivano Battiston presentationVideo above: Czardas performed by Ivano Battiston (accordion) and Avi Avital (mandolin).

On Saturday March 22nd at the Rotary Club of San Miniato, accordionist and teacher Ivano Battiston was awarded a ‘Lifetime Achievement’ in recognition for his concert performances and his long term educational activity, which includes leading many master classes. This latter aspect has been emphasized by the further award of a prize, ‘Spring’, to one of his former students, Pietro Adragna, not only for his great talent, but for his humanity and humility.

Ivano Battiston studied accordion with Salvatore di Gesualdo, graduating with a first-class honours degree with honours from the Castelfranco Veneto Conservatory. In 1978 he was awarded first prize at the CMA Trophée Mondiale, and subsequently he achieved a Diploma in Choral Music and Bassoon; he also studied composition with Bruno Coltro. He has performed as a soloist and with orchestras all around Italy, and in France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Croazia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Albania, Finland, Holland, UK, Malta, USA, Russia, Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil.

In November 2012, the Conservatorio di Musica Luigi Cherubini, Villa Favard (Rovezzano), Florence celebrated the 20th anniversary of the accordion being 'upgraded' to degree level on the 13th April 1992.

This established a Chair of Accordion and a degree course similar to the other instruments at the important Florentine institution. Florence and Pesaro were the two cities to obtain the first accordion chairs in Italy. Ivano Battiston (picture above) was the founder and is still holder of the academic chair.

Baillies Mills Accordion Band’s 75th Anniversary, Northern Ireland - UK

Baillies Mills Accordion Band
The Baillies Mills Accordion Band celebrated their 75th anniversary recently with a concert at the Lagan Valley Island Centre, in Lisburn, County Down, on March 13th. The theatre was packed to capacity for a memorable night of music and entertainment. During the course of the evening, Stephen Dickson, the band secretary, recounted the history of the band, and particularly referred to the recent events which had seen the band take their music beyond these shores. The show included projected photographs relating to the band’s history and its various activities.

Also performing were the folk group Bakerloo Junction, and Rodd Hogg, a brilliant young magician from Coleraine, who thrilled the audience with his magic illusions and witty banter.

The audience included Robert Mackin, the last surviving founding member of the band. Recently the band lost a friend through motor neurone disease and a donation of £500 from the proceeds of the concert was presented by Arthur Gibson of the band to Stephen Thompson of Motor Neurone Association NI.

One other recent important engagement of the band was the celebration of the 80th birthday of Bobby Mitchell, now fondly regarded as the father of the band. A cake with the band’s crest was presented in his honour and the band made their own musical tribute to him.

The Baillies Mills Accordion Band, formed in 1939, have performed in Bergen for Norway’s Day of Independence Celebrations, in the Irish Republic, at the Battle of Flowers Parade in Jersey, and the Lord Mayor’s Parade in London.

The band takes on engagements including their own Annual Concert, both church and public concerts, open air performances, residential homes, and fetes. Their next performances are local concerts on April 4th, 7.45pm, at Keady Presbyterian Church Hall, and April 9th, 7.45pm, at Lylehill Presbyterian Church Hall.
