Concurso Nacional de Acordeón de Shanghái 2009-Chinaby Harley Jones |
![]() El concurso nacional de Shanghai es además un importante evento de preparación para la 64 edición de la Coupe mondiale en 2011 en la misma ciudad. El profesor Li Cong, organizador del concurso manifestó:“Me he mantenido promocionando el acordeón en China desde el 2006. En ese momento, no había apenas actuaciones de acordeón entertainment en nuestro pais. Después del gran esfuerzo realizado, la situación parece ser muy diferente. Muchos jóvenes acordeonistas, incluidos los estudiantes de conservatorios, están ahora interesados en este estilo y han comenzado a aprenderlo.” Durante el certamen, los estudiantes de Shanghai realizarán un concierto de acordeón entertainment. “Un presupuesto cercano a 100.000 RMB será utilizado para adquirir un attrezzo especial mas una excelente iluminación y sonido. Creo que el concierto será muy interesante”. Este evento ha sido dedicado a la celebración del World Accordion Day. Este evento será respaldado por completos artículos los cuales estarán disponibles mediante un link en accordions.com Para más información, contactar con el profesor Li Cong. |

Concierto de Alessandro Mugnoz, Ancona-Italiaby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
![]() El programa contó con música de George C. Lickl (1801-1877) Sonata op. 40 para piano y acordeón”, Angelo Panzini (1820-1886)- “Grande Sonata para Piano y acordeón”, Charles-Marie Widor (1845-1937)- “Humoresca y marcha nupcial” (6 duos para harmonio y acordeón) y Felice Lattuada (1882-1962)- “Sulle rive dell’oblio” (arreglada para acordeón y piano por A. Mugnoz). Un pre-concierto fue llevado acabo en Castelfidardo el 9 de Abril en el auditorio “Binci Mordini Palace, en presencia de una selecta audiencia constituida por músicos. Los dos conciertos fueron muy apreciados por sus respectivos públicos y son parte del resultado de la búsqueda realizada estos años por Alessandro Mugnoz: repertorio de música de cámara que incluye acordeón en el siglo XIX (repertorio casi olvidado y todavía inexplorado). Ellos también tienen un propósito inicial a nivel cultural. El resultado de esta búsqueda, es la colaboración entre la asociación “New Italian Musical Learning Center” y el “Centro internacional de estudios del acordeón” emplazado en Castelfidardo.
