Acadian Accordion/Composer Jesse Méa 'Artist in Residence' CNIMA - Franceby Nathalie Boucheix, Director CNIMA J.Mornet |
 Video: assembled extracts from the Jesse Méa & CNIMA show.Acadian accordionist and composer Jesse Méa, was welcomed as an 'Artist in Residence' at CNIMA J.Mornet in Saint-Sauves-d’Auvergne – France Jesse Méa is from New Brunswick Canada, a bilingual province where French speakers represent a 30% minority. Jesse Mea, accordionist, composer and arranger, discovered CNIMA on the web, as a French school, and the only one in the world offering full-time accordion studies with full accommodations for all levels of performance, beginner right through to leading international competitors. Jesse obtained financing from his province’s cultural institution to lead a French-Acadian cultural exchange program while studying accordion. The CNIMA was happy to accept his proposal and Jesse arrived in Saint-Sauves in January, 2015. Straightaway, Jesse set to work to recruit students volunteers – at all skill levels - to participate in this musical project. The artistic endeavor resulted in a performance at the famous ski resort town of Le Mont-Dore on April 16th. Jesse Mea presented a slideshow on the Acadian history and culture. The presentation was interspersed with pieces performed by the students and Jesse. This very original show was much appreciated by the sizeable audience of all ages. This cultural project demonstrates the interest of CNIMA J.Mornet for working with artists and composers from around the world. If a similar adventure attracts you, please contact CNIMA J.Mornet. |
