New Ideas for Accordion Fashionists - Worldwideby Diatonic News |
 |
| The 2022 has started and the world is seeking for new fashion ideas - here some help, if needed! Appropriately titled 'Instruments played in the street corner,' the Xiaoping Huang Graduate Collection looks like it is comprised of outfits made out of accordion parts. Quirky and not a bit bizarre, the fashion is as creative as it gets. Taking a strong 3D approach, the recent University of Central Lancashire fashion graduate focuses on bright colors, bold prints and unusual textures to make a fashion statement like no other. The winner of the Zandra Rhodes Textile Award, the Xiaoping Huang Graduate Collection was inspired by an accordion the designer found in a flea market. She then turned to contemporary street musicians’ paintings to better flesh out her concepts, creating ensembles fit for a traveling circus. Huang is currently promoting her graduate collection in London, England. This award was given already 10 years ago, but as we say: fashion always comes back ;-) |

World Accordion Day - What are you Doing? - Internationalby Diatonic News |
 |
| What are you doing for World Accordion Day to promote the accordion in your country? World Accordion day is on May 6th, which is the day the accordion was patented in 1829. World Accordion Day was started in 2009 by the CIA and has been very successful, generating a lot of positive publicity for the accordion. A key part of this event is the World Accordion Day website. Every association, group, orchestra, performer and teacher, is asked to actively support this event by encouraging national and local accordion activities to happen in their country on this day or the weekend either side of Accordion Day if that should be more convenient. Everyone can register their World Accordion Day activity on the website and send a report of their event after, for that website. No event is too big or too small. ALL accordion events celebrating World Accordion Day are welcome. This is a CIA promotion for the accordion in which every accordion enthusiast can participate and help bring our accordion world together as well as strongly promote the accordion. Due to new COVID-restrictions - let us know, if you instead of live-events plan some online activities - we are happy to report |

23. INTERNATIONALES AKKORDEON FESTIVAL 2022 - Viennaby Diatonic News |
 |
 The 2022 Edition of the Internation Accordion Festival in Vienna is scheduled for the time between the 19.02.-20.03.2022.The organizers, Friedl Preisl and Franziska Hatz are giving absolute preferenze to live-events than streaming performances and state as follows: Not sure at any time whether all programmed events will be able to take place, but nevertheless a dense and exciting program has been planned. On the one hand, there are concerts that were already booked for the Accordion Festival 2021, which did not take place, but had to fallen victim to the Covid circumstances and restrictions. In addition, the Festival is celebrating Astor Piazzolla's 101st birthday in March 2022 for reasons of circumstance, round anniversaries are usually overestimated anyway ... Piazzolla's importance for music and especially that played with the accordion/bandoneon cannot be emphasized enough at any time anyway! The MAIN FOCUS AUSTRIA remains as self-evident as it is necessary, since international artists are currently almost inevitably absent. The richness of the local musical landscape has always been an essential, always exciting and diverse component of the Festival programs. Download festival program here: 2022Akkordeonfestival.pdf The 2022 is fully planned and with many interesting events to be looked up at: http://akkordeonfestival.at/ |

MARÍA DE BUENOS AIRES im Landestheater/Tirol - Austriaby Diatonic News |
 04.02.2022 - 19.30 bis 21.45 UhrTiroler Landestheater & Orchester GmbH Innsbruck Rennweg 2 . 6020 Innsbruck T +43 512 52074 Santiago Cimadevilla - bandoneonist, composer, arranger was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He played guitar from a young age and studied classical piano at the Conservatorio Municipal Manuel de Falla. In the Netherlands he studied bandoneon at the Rotterdam Conservatory with Victor Villena and Leo Vervelde. After his graduation concert he was awarded with a prize from the Foundation Friends of the Rotterdam Conservatory for outstanding study results and artistic quality. In 1968 Astor Piazzolla composed his only opera as a declaration of love to the tango and his home town. Through the figure of María, the tango, which stands for a whole attitude to life and world-weariness, takes on a form of its own. The Tango Nuevo developed by Piazzolla is brilliantly presented in his Operita (= little opera), which is based on the highly symbolic, highly musical poetry of the Uruguayan lyricist and tango historian Horacio Ferrer. The floating feeling of the tango, which results from the tension between closeness and distance as well as melancholy and beauty, becomes the narrative of the story.

The Fureys concert - Killarney/IEby Diatonic News |
 |
| Venue: Gleneagle INEC Arena Killarney, Co.Kerry, Ireland 5th Feb 2022 - 20:30 The Fureys The Furey's have been entertaining audiences worldwide for 38 years, audiences that have included former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Former Irish President Mary McAleese and the late Pope John Paul while Tony Blair has publicly stated his favourite peace song of all time is the Furey's “Green Fields of France”. Recently Ireland President Michael D Higgins attended their concert in Dublin’s National Concert Hall. The band was formed in 1978 literally by accident. George, Paul and Davey were playing in Denmark with their own band called the Buskers and Eddie and Finbar, while touring in Germany were involved in a road accident. When George and Paul got news of the accident they immediately travelled to Germany to be with their brothers. They then decided that they should all be playing together and this was the start of the Furey's. The Furey's are responsible for some of the most stirring music ever to capture the public imagination. Their folk based music has received standing ovations in some of the biggest concert halls of the world and they credit their musical ability to their parents, Ted and Nora, who were well known musicians themselves. They encouraged their sons to play music from a very early age and there was live traditional music in their house almost nightly. Their emotive songs stir many emotions….tears and laughter, sadness and joy. https://www.inec.ie/gigs/the-fureys/ |
