Grayson Masefield Continues North America Tour - USA & Canadaby Heather Masefield |
 |
| After an incredible week at the 2018 Las Vegas Int. Accordion Convention (full report at 2018LasVegas ) where Grayson Masefield was the recipient of the Honourary Conductors Award, he then continued his North American tour. Next was Seattle where Jamiee Maschler and Gabe Hall Rodrigues hosted a concert and prepared a workshop at the new location of the Petosa Accordion Company. The workshop was a continuation of the masterclasses Grayson had made in Las Vegas, mostly focused on utilizing the body to help articulation, bellows control and finger technique. Next travel was East to Spokane to the newly named Bartell Music Academy. Patricia Bartell organised a day of lessons with her students for both accordion and piano after which Grayson performed a full concert in her studio's concert venue. While there, Grayson recorded a video of Joe Natoli's arrangement of Somewhere Over the Rainbow before flying to Victoria in Western Canada. As part of the World Accordion and Tango Festival organised by Aleks Milojevic, they organised three pre-festival concerts in British Columbia. They invited past Trophee Mondial winners Jelena Milojevic, Tian Jianan and Grayson Masefield for the concerts which were held in Vancouver, Nanaimo and Salt Spring Island. Each concert was incredibly well received and had multiple standing ovations from the enthusiastic audiences. |
