 Video: Eine Heimaufnahme des ersten Satzes von Antonio Vivaldis "Winter" von Ghenadie Rotari.Ghenadie Rotari gibt ein kostenloses Online-Konzert mit dem Titel "Die Kunst der Akkordeontranskription: Bach, Haydn und Grieg" am 21. März 2021 um 6.30 Uhr UTC+13. Dieses Konzert beinhaltet Musik, die ursprünglich nicht für das Akkordeon gedacht war, da es dieses zu dieser Zeit noch nicht gab.

Das Konzertprogramm besteht aus: J. S. Bach - "Französische Suite in G-Dur" F. J. Haydn - "Sonate in G-Dur" E. Grieg - "Holberg-Suite" Für weitere Informationen E-Mail: g.rotari@yahoo.com |

| Video: Filmed July 2020, at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Michael Bridge (accordion & piano) and Kornel Wolak (clarinet & piano) have created this elaborate fantasia, based on the popular Bulgarian folk tune, Gankino Horo.” The video is part of Bridge & Wolak's film "From Bach to Benny Goodman." The complete show was filmed in July 2020 at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts in Kingston, Ontario. Without a live audience, Bridge & Wolak took the opportunity to film in typically-unseen locations around the hall, including an intimate backstage tour of The Isabel. The complete film is 1h 6m. Michael Bridge and Kornel Wolak are an internationally-acclaimed music & comedy duo, integrating traditional acoustic instruments with 21st century digital technology. They perform their own uniquely re-imagined repertoire of classical, world and jazz fusion. With deft virtuosity and endless wit, Bridge & Wolak have been called the “Victor Borges of the 21st Century.” Future 2021 performances include: • April 17th: Port Ludlow Bay Club @ 7pm Port Ludlow, WA, United States • April 18th: Bishop Centre for the Performing Arts @ 2pm, Aberdeen, WA, United States • April 25th: Hobson Public School @ 8pm Hobson, MT, United States • April 27th: Fort Benton Elementary School @ 8pm Fort Benton, MT, United States • April 29th: Seeley Swan High School @ 8pm Seeley Lake, MT, United States • April 30th: Belt Performing Arts Center @ 8pm Belt, MT, United States • May 5th: The Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts @ 7.30pm Brantford, ON, Canada |
