 |
| Im Rahmen des Besuchs von Changjun Xu (Rektor des Tianjin Conservatory of Music und der Tianjin Juilliard School) fanden kürzlich an der MUK in Wien zwei europäische Uraufführungen chinesischer Werke statt. Die Musik- und Kunstuniversität der Stadt Wien (MUK) organisierte zu seinen Ehren das Konzert der Alten und Neuen Musik. Vollständiger Bericht in deutscher und englischer Sprache unter: 2019cn-comp.pdf Die Akkordeonklasse von Prof. Grzegorz Stopa führte die zeitgenössische Musik auf. Höhepunkte dieses Konzerts waren zweifellos die beiden europäischen Erstaufführungen chinesischer Akkordeonmusik. Die erste Uraufführung schrieb der bekannte chinesische Komponist Qigang Chen, der im Jahr 2000 seine erste Fassung der "Momente einer Peking-Oper" komponierte. 2014 wurde die Uraufführung der symphonischen Fassung in Auftrag gegeben des Shanghai Symphony Orchestra zur Eröffnung der Shanghai Symphony Hall. In Zusammenarbeit mit Komponisten wurde im vergangenen Jahr die neueste Version des Werks für vier Akkordeons (Adaption Na Song) im November 2018 im Nationalen Zentrum für Darstellende Künste (NCPA) in Peking mit Na Song, Grzegorz Stopa und seinen Alumni als uraufgeführt Teil eines Konzertprojekts des Konservatoriums für Musik in Tianjin. Marija Antunovic, Bogdan Laketic, Na Song und Grzegorz Stopa (Bild oben) waren die Künstler dieser Aufführung von 2019. Die Notenausgabe des Werkes in der Fassung für vier Akkordeons wird demnächst beim Pariser Verlag Gérard Billaudot Editeur erscheinen. Die zweite Premiere war eine neue Version von "Phoenix" für Akkordeon, Schlagzeug und Streichorchester von Changjun Xu. Der Dialog zwischen traditioneller und traditioneller chinesischer Komposition, der Dialog zwischen traditioneller chinesischer Folklore und zeitgenössischen Kompositionstechniken. Das MUK Ensemble wurde von Roberto Secilla Quiros (Bild unten, links) dirigiert und Djordje Davidovic Akkordeonist (unten rechts) war der herausragende Solist des Abends. |

 The 12th Annual Afternoon of Music with Kevin Friedrich and Friends took place on March, 31st with a capacity audience at the Lighthouse Function Center at the Dargaville Museum.Featuring a variety of artists performing music from the Stage and Screen the event serves as an annual fundraiser for the Dargaville Museum. The afternoon gave a very unusual opportunity to feature a duo of instruments made from the very precious and rare native New Zealand Kauri wood. The wood, often 40,000 years old was used to make both an accordion and a drum, which were featured in duo during the concert (picture above). The Kauri accordion was part of a joint project between New Zealand and Finland where the instruments were hand made. The show opened with the Auckland Accordion Symphonietta conducted by Lionel Reekie and included a stunning rendition of the theme from Schindler’s List by John Williams with Maiadean Martin as Violin Soloist (picture right). A young violinist from nearby Whangarei, Maiadean has performed each year at the concert with her talented siblings. The concert featured the donation of an accordion from the Christchurch Accordion Orchestra, made available by member Merle Kershaw (picture with Kevin below). The instrument was formally accepted by Museum President Ross Newlove and used as part of the concert. Another instrument, the magnificent ANZAC Accordion was also unveiled, with a special feature on that instrument being published near ANZAC Day. Local Multi Media specialist Ken Cashin prepared a fascinating 'Women of Note' presentation, showcasing many women from the area who have inspired the community through their love and gift of music. Other artists included: Martin Rhodes (Vocalist), Rivertown Singers and Take 6 (Vocalists), Adrian Humm and Brenda Polwart (Vocalists), Pippa Howes (Flute), Roslyn Gilmour (Vocalist), Nolene Osbaldiston (Pianist), Dargaville Little Theatre, Kevin Jobbitt, Joe Staltare (Accordion) and Chris Davidson, Alanah Jones (Vocalist), Starlight Duo - Lionel Reekie and Maurice Jones, Linda Emmett Litt (Drums), Barbara Adams (Narrator),and Elena Reekie. A link to a full review of the concert will be available in next week’s publication. Meanwhile, the next Afternoon of Music with Kevin Friedrich and Friends will be held as a Christmas Spectacular on 8th December 2019 and the 13th Annual Concert will take place on 29th March 2020. |
