Igor Zobin was born in Trieste in 1983 and studied the accordion at the Slovene Music Institute in Trieste and at the State Music Conservatory in Pesaro. He was awarded a degree at the Conservatory Gioacchino Rossini in Pesaro and was selected to represent Italy at the 52nd CMA Trophée Mondiale. For the first time in Italy and in the history of the famous Accademia Musicale Pescarese, accordionist Igor Zobin also gained his degree in conducting. Igor Zobin, had already decided which style he would like to follow for his career. He spoke about it in an interview for “Musica Colta” where he declared: “Accordion, or the bayan in my personal case, is a extraordinary instrument, that allows you to explore music in each single dimension. Accordion is a young instrument that has a great future, but that also gives to the musician an instrument to understand and perform many different music styles from the past to the present. Accordion put your musicianship to the test. Accordion has always been my personal orchestra, but I always desired to grow as musician, to pursuit the art of music. Conducting and directing an orchestra is an art, hard to merely describe. It’s great and complex, and it demands a lot of energy from you. I am very happy to get this degree at the Academy and I am proud of this path!”. Igor Zobin intends his career to combine orchestra director together with the accordion performance. We wish Igor Zobin all the best for a shining future with these goals for his life. |

The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending February 23rd 2001 included an item about the premiere of a documentary film titled ‘Accordion Dreams’, which was soon to be screened at a festival in Texas. The documentary focused on conjunto, the accordion-driven music of the Tex-Mex community. This genre has thrived though the years, and in last week’s Accordions Worldwide news we reported that accordionist Flaco Jimenez, conjunto’s most successful player, has recently received a Lifetime Grammy award. Well done, Flaco! Documentary ‘Accordion Dreams’ at Film Festival – USA Contributed by Evy Ledesma ‘Accordion Dreams’, the newest film by Hector Galan will premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, during March. ‘Accordion Dreams’ is an exciting journey into the heart and soul of conjunto music. The documentary explores the historical and cultural impact that accordion based conjunto music has had while revealing how a younger generation of squeezebox trailblazers are keeping the music alive. Accordion Dreams will be broadcast nationally in the United States on PBS. |
