Picture of Congress attendees above. Picture right, presentation by host Zoran Rakic to Raymond Bodell.

CIA President Raymond Bodell welcomed all those in attendance to the CIA's first event held in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the 131st General Assembly of Delegates and Winter Congress.

Congress admitted two new CIA members:
- VZW Accordeon Salon (Belgium)

Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny Assists Maugein Accordions – France

Maugein accordion
Laurent KoscielnyThe oldest French accordion factory, facing closure, has received an unlikely assist in keeping it operational from Arsenal (Holloway, London) footballer Laurent Koscielny (picture right).
 
Accordion company Maugein was founded in 1919 but has fallen on hard times recently due to cheaper exports from China and Eastern Europe. According to The Guardian (UK) newspaper, Mayor Bernard Combes (Tulle) reached out to Koscielny, who is also from Tulle city where the Maugein factory is located.
 
According to the report, Laurent Koscielny has donated €600,000 and is part of an investment group whose aim is to keep the company open and, as a result, save 20 jobs.

World Premiere of ‘Dizzy Fingers: The Life of Joe Soprani’, Philadelphia - USA

Radio Times Interview with Marty Moss-Coane - The Life of Joe Soprani. This is a MP3 sound file.
Video: Joe Soprani and group playing Soft Summer Breeze. This is a preview of the soon to be released video.

Joe Soprani and ensemble perform "Anema e core," produced by Naut Pictures for its forthcoming documentary on Joe; "Dizzy Fingers."
Joe SopraniAccordionist Joe Soprani and his ensemble will perform on Sunday March 9th at the World Cafe Live Philadelphia-Upstairs, 3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At this time the world premiere of a documentary, ‘Dizzy Fingers: The Life of Joe Soprani’, will take place.

Joe Soprani (accordionist, educator and arranger-composer) has dominated the accordion scene in Philadelphia for more than 45 years. His many accomplishments include being the only accordionist in the history of the Philadelphia Orchestra to appear as featured soloist under Eugene Ormandy. He was also the accordion soloist with the US Air Force Band in Washington, DC, and was for eight years, accordion soloist with the Pennsylvania Army National Guard Band.

Joe Soprani (now 80) has collaborated with Bon Jovi, performed at the White House, with tenors Pavarotti and Russell Watson, with Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, on national TV, and more.

In 2006, he was voted by the Philadelphia City Paper as "the most versatile accordion player" and he continues to promote the accordion as a serious instrument. He is currently the in-house accordionist on the Don Giovanni Italian Oldies Radio Show, which can be heard via the internet.

‘Dizzy Fingers: the Life of Joe Soprani’ explores a remarkable life filled with music, and includes interviews with Bon Jovi, Susan Ashbaker (Opera Company of Philadelphia), and Joe Parente (president, Local 77). The film also provides a historical context to the instrument itself, from ethnomusicologist, Marion Jacobson.

With the accordion seeing a great resurgence, the time is now to recognize the man who never left it behind.

FMAE/MESA Accordion Event and Joan Sommers 80th Birthday Celebration - USA


Joan C SommersJoan C SommersAccordionists are a special type of people. If you are one, you automatically know what I mean. We are people who love the accordion…. playing it, attending concerts, learning about it, socializing and performing with people who like accordions….. and we are accordion groupies, and we worship the amazingly gifted ones…….. such as the late great jazz artist, Frank Marocco.

Then there are those who are not only all of the above but are even more. I am talking about Joan and Dan Grauman (picture left), who have a special gift of making friends and bringing them all together on "Planet Accordion", which happened to be annually in Mesa, Arizona for the past eight years. 

The eight years of the MESA accordion event originally named the FMAE (Frank Marocco Accordion Event) provided a unique musical experience for musician and non-musician alike. It was eight years of memorable times including the special years when the legendary Frank Marocco shared his musical expertise in a way both kind and exciting. Stas Venglevski took over the baton with great skill after Frank's passing. 

For the 2014 MESA event, in honor of her 80th birthday, Joan Sommers (picture right), Professor Emerita, University of Missouri – Kansas City Conservatory of Music, internationally known conductor and arranger, was invited to be the guest conductor and concert leader.

Everyone who attended left the MESA events with very special memories, new ideas, new friends, an encouraging and newly renewed enthusiasm for learning and performing, and a huge amount of gratitude to the devoted FMAE/MESA organizers, Joan and Dan Grauman.
