20-летие школы ‘CNIMA’, май 2015, Сен-Сов-д’Овернь, Францияby Yvon Body |
![]() |
![]() Это был огромный праздник аккордеона! Только студенты школы Жака Морне ‘CNIMA’, бывшие и нынешние, выступали в течение первых двух дней аккордеонного фестиваля (29 и 30 мая), отмечая двадцатую годовщину этой знаменитой школы французского аккордеона. Полную программу и информацию можно скачать здесь: 2015CNIMA.pdf В пятницу 29 мая состоялся большой бал (бал мюзетов), собравший любителей аккордеона, мюзета и танцев со всей центральной Франции. На сцене выступили трио Алена Музикини, Натали Буше, Амели Кастель, Стефани Мето и двадцать студентов школы, исполнив все стили танцевальной музыки. Многочисленные зрители были впечатлены разнообразием музыки! В субботу состоялся замечательный концерт в переполненной церкви Сен-Сов, которая не смогла вместить всех слушателей! Жан-Батист Боден, победитель Трофея Мира 2014, исполнил эстрадную музыку. Чудесная Кристина Росси (видео выше) и дуэт Алена Музикини и Кристофа Савойя отвечали за классическую часть концерта. После концерта состоялся ужин на 150 гостей, на котором демонстрировался фильм о 20-летней истории ‘CNIMA’ и о том, как Жак Морне посвятил свою жизнь аккордеону. История школы включает 104 победителя крупных международных соревнований. На третий день, в воскресенье 31 мая, аккордеонисты из любой страны, города, любого возраста, размера и уровня были приглашены выступить вместе на большой, зеленой, солнечной территории кемпинга. И ... они выступили! (фото слева). 14 сентября нынешние и новые студенты начнут еще один аккордеонный учебный год в школе Жака Морне ‘CNIMA’ Сен-Сов-д’Оверни. Почему бы вам не быть среди них?

Мероприятие началось 21 июня с выступления знаменитой музыкально-комической группы 'Riders in the Sky’, которое вывело наш приветственный концерт на пятизвездочный уровень. Для многих цена посещения мероприятия была оправдана уже одной только возможностью увидеть выступление обладателей Грэмми в интимной обстановке нашего концерта. На заключительном концерте выступил пятикратный чемпион мира Грейсон Мейсфилд, где продемонстрировал потрясающее шоу техники, музыкальности и артистизма. Его программа отличалась восхитительным разнообразием музыки, которая пленила зрителей и подняла зал. Каждое утро начиналось с занятий и семинаров с последующей дневной программой. Послеобеденное время было наполнено индивидуальными и оркестровыми репетициями. Каждый вечер во время ужина проходили концерты, в которых приняли участие Грейсон Мейсфилд, Джои Мискулин, Уолтер Останек, Мэри Токарски, Стас Венглевски, Джоан Соммерс, трио Europa, Пит Барбутти, дуэт: Поль Беткен и Джерри Циглер, Гордон Коль, Чак Генри, Джина Бранелли. В грандиозном финале выступил Лас-Вегасский международный оркестр аккордеонистов. После вечернего концерта участники мероприятия смоги выйти на сцену в клубе 'Concerto’ в интимной обстановке кабаре. Эти выступления продолжались до предрассветного часа. В этом году мы увидели участников из таких отдаленных стран, как Австралия, Новая Зеландия, Франция, а также из почти каждой провинции Канады, Мексики и со всей территории Соединенных Штатов. |

![]() Regional Mexican Group Calibre 50 adds another hit to its remarkable story with #1 on the Billboard ‘Contigo’. And with unstoppable momentum, this song has soared to No. 1 on this week's Billboard for Regional Mexican Airplay chart. ‘Contigo’ is written by Edén Muñoz, the SESAC Latina-affiliated composer who is also the group's lead singer and accordionist. As the most-played and listened-to song on the radio in the United States, Contigo tops the chart for the Billboard magazine publication date of March 21-27, 2015. It took just four weeks for Contigo to power its way to the top, and its latest weekly move was the most impressive, jumping from No. 10 all the way to No. 1. It's another prodigious achievement for Edén Muñoz, who also co-wrote the 2014 SESAC Latina Song of the Year, titled ‘Y Te Vas’, with Alfonso Flores Arocha, and performed by Banda Carnaval. The song ‘Contigo’ marks the fourth No. 1 hit for SESAC Latina and Calibre 50 on the Regional Mexican charts. The group's other SESAC Latina-represented chart-toppers are titled ‘Ni Que Estuvieras Tan Buena’, ‘Tus Latidos’ and ‘Javier El De Los Llanos’. |

Bradford Accordion Band’s Summer Concert on June 24th at the Dubrovik Hotel in Bradford proved to a wonderful evening of music and fine advert for the accordion. Performing were the Bradford Accordion Band (MD Anita Basic), their quintet Note-able Accordion Ensemble, and soloists Anna Leskela, Helen Rich, and Pearl Fawcett-Adriano, the latter two very capably representing Stockport Accordion Club. There were excellent performances all round, which began with the Bradford Accordion Band performing ‘Te Deum’ (Charpentier), ‘High Noon’/Ghost Riders in the Sky’, and ‘Memory’ (Lloyd-Webber) for their first set. Their second set, which concluded the concert, included ‘The Dam Busters’ (Coates), ‘I’ve had the time of my life’ (from ‘Dirty Dancing’) and ended with ‘We are the champions’, the 1980s Queen hit song, with the ‘Trumpet Voluntary’ (Jeremiah Clarke), as an encore. Pearl Fawcett-Adriano was her usual brilliant self, performing ‘Dance of the Comedians’, ‘Fossettes’, ‘O Sole Mio’, and ‘Ciribiribin’, with style and virtuosity. The Note-able Accordion Ensemble performed ‘Serenata’ (Leroy Anderson), ‘Pavanne’ (Faure), and ‘Violentango’ (Piazzolla) with excellent timing and style. Helen Rich gave classy renditions of ‘Marcia’ (G. Deiro), ‘At a Loose End’ (Rich), ‘Hungarian Dance No 4’ (Brahms), and ‘Golden Slippers’ (Frosini). Anna Leskela, from Finland, performed ‘Prelude & Fugue in B Minor’ (JS Bach), ‘Sonata in C Sharp Minor’ (Scarlatti), and ‘Gypsy Inspiration’ (Pihlajamaa), with a virtuosity that marked her out as a young accordionist to watch out for. The concert attracted a full house attendance. This concert replaced a proposed club visit to the Bradford Accordion Band by Stockport Accordion Club, which was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. A group SAC members – Pearl Fawcett-Adriano, Helen Rich, Rob & Marj Howard, John Jones, Moira Hague, Walter Perrie, John Higham - attended the concert. |

![]() His concerts are always sold out. He is also famous for recreating popular songs as polkas, using his accordion. ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic is an American singer, songwriter, parodist, record producer, satirist, actor, music video director, film producer, and author. He is known for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts, original songs that are style pastiches of the work of other acts, and polka medleys of several popular songs, featuring his favored instrument, the accordion. Since his first-aired comedy song in 1976, he has sold more than 12 million albums (as of 2007),recorded more than 150 parody and original songs and has performed more than 1,000 live shows. His works have earned him four Grammy Awards and a further 11 nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the USA. Yankovic's first top ten Billboard album (‘Straight Outta Lynwood’) and single (‘White & Nerdy’) were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career. His latest album, ‘Mandatory Fun’ (2014), became his first number one album on its debut week. With many costume changes and constant videos on the screen, the show is high energy and full of laughs. And, the accordion always has its special place in his shows. |
