Music with Kevin Friedrich and Friends, Dargaville - New Zealandby Harley Jones |
 Picture left: Kevin Friedrich smiles as he receives a standing ovation. For the 4th time, the concert ‘Music with Kevin Friedrich and Friends’ was held in Dargaville, New Zealand at the Lighthouse Function Center. For a full report of the concert, with photos and background information: Dargaville2011 This picturesque Center overlooking the town and river, was sold out with quite a few people being turned away. Dargaville was Kevin Friedrich's home town before he moved to the USA at 18 years of age, to go to UMKC University to gain his degree majoring in accordion. Kevin Friedrich returns to New Zealand annually to make this fundraising concert for the Dargaville museum where there is a permanent historical accordion display titled 'Accordion Gems - A Master Collection of Accordions Through Time'. This display was initiated and developed by Kevin over recent years. The concert included Kevin Friedrich performing a very popular solo program of novelty pieces, entertainment works and a few classical selections. The concert closed with three duos by Kevin with internationally popular accordionist Lionel Reekie. After the concert was an Open Jam Session and Sing-A-Long and two other accordionists, well known internationally, Harley and Maurice Jones joined others to make an exciting jam session.
