 |
| 14-year old Naomi Harris from Spokane, Washington, winner of the 2014 Leavenworth Competition and Nathan Chapeton, winner of the 2014 AAA Virtuoso Category have qualified to represent the USA at the 67th Coupe Mondiale to be held in Salzburg, Austria, from October 27th to November 2nd 2014. Naomi Harris performed ‘Opale Concerto’ and won 1st place in the Leavenworth Open Competition. Naomi loves both facets of the accordion. Harris likes playing pop and novelty songs with her accordion band, but also loves to play the deeply passionate music for which the accordion is especially suited. Her teacher is Patricia Bartell, widely known as an adjudicator, professional performer, and teacher is also a member of Tango Vocaldo and leads the young accordion band, The Portatos. 13-year old Nathan Chapeton studies accordion with ATG and American Accordionists' Association (AAA) Board Member and well known concert accordionist, Mary Tokarski. Nathan also plays the guitar and loves entertaining, playing at local events and regularly participates at church events with his accordion. Nathan's plans for the future definitely include music and the accordion. He hopes to apprentice in Italy to become involved with accordion construction and repair, and desires to have an integral part of the accordion's future here in the U.S. |
