Further new dates: For the first time on Ascension Day, the Accordion Music Prize (AMP) will take place in Ettlingen from May 9th to 12th, 2024. This enables musicians from federal states in which Corpus Christi is not a public holiday to participate in the AMP. Please make a note of these two dates now.

Postponed: 14th Harmonica Masters Workshops, 08 -12 June 2022by Diatonic News |
 |
| The 14th Harmonica Masters Workshops were originally planned for November 2020, but had to be cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. A free 3 hour Zoom event with all instructors on October 31st, intended as a gesture of thanks to our regular students, was virtually attended by over 150 people from around the world. Now we are looking ahead and have rescheduled the 14th HMW for June 2022. Organisational changes and the non-availability of the Trossingen Music School in November made it necessary to find a new date, and the Whitsun school holidays are the only viable time when all facilities are not otherwise in use and there are no competing events. We ask for your understanding for this change and hope that the HMW 2022 will be able to take place under something approaching normal conditions. Following the withdrawal of the Conservatory, Hohner has kindly taken on the local organisation in addition to providing logistical support and sponsoring. Your contact person for registrations and all other administrative questions is Product Manager Ines Weber. The website is now being updated and we will be accepting registrations as soon as this is complete. The Harmonica Masters workshops 2022 will introduce several new instructors alongside many of our long time staff. Joe Filisko, Marko Jovanovic and I will again be presenting classes and we are happy to announce three new instructors who promise to provide fresh impulses: the irrepressible Jason Ricci will be joining us for the first time to share his vivid insights into contemporary harmonica, Marcos Coll will be teaching an introduction to diatonic and chromatic harmonica in Latin music, and renowned Hohner Affiliated Customizer and Celtic music virtuoso Joel Andersson will present an introduction to the harmonica in Irish music. As in previous years, Eric Noden will teach acoustic blues guitar and Riedel Diegel is again presenting our beginners class. Due to family obligations, David Barrett will be unable to attend in 2022 as originally planned, but promises to be back in 2023. https://www.harmonica-masters.de/en/ |

Melodeon Building Course (2.5 row) - GBby Diatonic News |
 |
| with Emmanuel Pariselle Monday 21 Mar 10am — Monday 28 Mar 4pm, 2022 at the moment the course is fully booked - but please get back to the organizer for any possible available place due to a cancellation. Emmanuel will guide novice makers through the steps to build your own two and a half row melodeon. You will leave with your own professional standard instrument; whilst having a great sense of humour (and extremely good English) Emmanuel is also a demanding task master and will ensure that all instruments made are of the highest possible calibre. In addition to having a wonderful instrument, you’ll also benefit from the inestimable experience of working with a master craftsman and learn techniques for construction, maintenance and repair in the future. The box you build will reflect your individual preferences and there is flexibility in terms of key, inlay and accidental layout (see below). Case wood is carefully selected for quality and beauty, and reeds are hand-made by Binci, Italy. Left hand chords have fundamentals and fifths – ie. no thirds – so work with major and minor keys.

Posti limitati, greenpass necessario, prenotazione obbligatoria https://www.facebook.com/events/1129931134485105. Loogaroo è il nuovo duo balfolk di Pablo Golder (organetto diatonico) e Florian De Schepper (chitarra acustica). Dopo aver suonato per anni con diversi progetti, Pablo e Florian hanno recentemente iniziato a suonare insieme dando vita al duo chiamato “loogaroo”, creatura mitologica caraibica che si trasforma in una luminosa sfera di luce per tormentare la notte, da non confondere con il loup-garou (lupo mannaro). Le melodie potenti e sorprendenti della chitarra si insinuano piacevolmente nella potenza dell’organetto per far ballare tutta la notte, anche sotto la luna piena. https://bari.ilquotidianoitaliano.com/eventi/2022/03/news/bib-balfolk-stage-di-danze-con-i-loogaroo-a-palo-del-colle-349396.html/ |
