 From November 9th to 14th, accordionist Henry Doktorski served as Artist-In-Residence for the Ames Iowa High School Orchestra, and also performed as guest soloist with the orchestra in a concert on the last evening, under the direction of MD Mary Kay Polashek. Henry Doktorski writes: “There was no question in my mind about the high artistic standards of Mary Kay Polashek and her orchestra when she told me that the world-famous harpsichordist Igor Kipnis had been one of their guest artists. I had a terrific time working with Mary Kay Polashek and Emil. They kept me busy all day long! In the morning I was taken to various schools to give accordion presentations and lecture/recitals. Around noon was our rehearsal with the orchestra at the High School (what a terrific orchestra—87 string players!). When Mary Kay Polashek began as Director of the orchestras 22 years ago, she had only seven students. Now she has more than 90 students! I was particularly impressed with the first chair players who were as good as many professionals! It was quite a moving experience for me; to create such terrific music with such a talented Director and excellent young players. |

 Domi Emorine and Roman Jbanov, known as world the ‘Paris Moscou' Duo gave a series of school concerts in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, from September 22nd to 25th 2008. The musicians went to 5 different schools to make known the accordion to more than 2,000 teenagers.Roman Jbanov began by presenting the instrument, its origins, and demonstrating the different sounds of the stops and possibilities of the accordion. Afterwards, the duo took the plunge facing an audience much more inclined towards modern music. Surprisingly, the young students, very attentive and responsive in their vast majority, warmly appreciated this wide repertory, from Paris to Moscow, from French musette to traditional Russian classics, as well as Roman’s humour in his presentation of the pieces. Students were even involved in the show by singing the famous ‘Cuckoo Waltz’, arranged by Maurice Larcange, admirably played solo by Domi Emorine. Thunderous applause and many encores at the end of the concert proved that the duo ‘Paris Moscou' managed to revive the accordion in the eyes of young people and perhaps even attracted interest for this wonderful instrument. Many thanks to Roman and Domi for allowing all these young people to hear such beautiful music. |
