"Let There Be Peace on Earth" World Accordion Orchesta VIII 2014 - Austriaby Dan Grauman |
| Notes by Joan C. Sommers (July 23, 2020) Some remarks regarding the performance of the World Accordion Orchestra VIII and the performance of “Let There Be Peace on Earth.” It is bound to give all of us, throughout the world, something to cheer about after suffering the effects of the Covid-19 virus and to give us hope that before too long we will once again be back to a more normal routine in our lives. The Coupe Mondiale of October 24th to November 3rd, 2014, sponsored by the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes, was held in the beautiful Salzburg, Austria Congress Center. The World Accordion Orchestra VIII performed as part of the final closing concert held on the large stage of the magnificent Europa Hall in the Congress Center. Werner Weibert conducted his arrangement of A Tribute to Leonard Bernstein and Jacob Noordzij conducted A Medley from The Sound of Music. A large mixed chorus then joined the orchestra of 130 members from many different countries to perform “Let There Be Peace on Earth” arranged and conducted by Joan Cochran Sommers to close the concert.
