Concertina Concert - Halsway/UKby Diatonic News |
Saturday 18 Mar 8pm–9pm, 2023 The concertina is one of the most versatile of instruments and WCCP aim to demonstrate this to the full. Whenever WCCP meet, we play a wide variety of music including Classical, British & International Folk, Ragtime, Blues and much more besides. We play as individuals, in pairs and small groups as well as in full-scale concertina bands that include Treble, Baritones and Bass instruments. Whilst the ability to read music is an advantage, we have many excellent players who happily play "by ear". To listen to many genres of music played on this versatile instrument, visit the International Concertina Association YouTube channel where you can hear the different types of instrument playing solo and in concertina bands. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the concertina. Download a membership form here. Whether you are browsing and want to know more, a complete novice (as we all were once) or an experienced and accomplished player, please feel free to contact us and join us at one of our events.

ATG & Chicagoland Accordionists Volunteer at AWAM – USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
Chicagoland Accordion Academy and ATG Members, led by ATG President, Mary Ann Covone and ATG Board Member, Beatrice Makdah, recently travelled up to Superior, Wisconsin to help out at the World of Accordions Museum. While they were there, Dr. Helmi Harrington, Curator of the Museum, provided several hours of practical accordion repair instruction along with a tour of the museum and lecture on the history of the accordion. Picture left: After learning some important lessons about accordion repair, the group members put on some smocks and starting working on cleaning and repairing a few Museum instruments. Daiva Kiselius is cleaning a grate on a 100 year old instrument while Mayra Martinez worked on cleaning up the keys. The group was able to assist with filing and sorting new collections of music donated to the museum by the Castiglione Estate. Helmi said it was extremely helpful to have the many boxes of donated music divided into various categories.

SVÄNG concert with orchestra - Finlandby Diatonic News |
For almost two decades, the harmonica quartet Sväng has been delighting audiences and harmonica professionals around the world. Sväng's various harmonicas create a rich soundscape that includes folk music from home and abroad, but is equally influenced by classical music and tango. The band's music seamlessly combines artistically ambitious music with a wry Peruvian sense of humour. The Svängfonia at the Oulu Music Festival combines Sväng's ensemble playing, sound and musical works with the sound of the Oulu Symphony Orchestra. The main theme of the concert is tango, but the musical journey transcends stylistic boundaries; in addition to tango, you will hear the Svängians' own tongue, Balkan rhythms, polka, Sibelius and Chopin. The arrangements of Sväng's compositions for orchestra are by the best in their field, Pessi Levanto, Marzi Nyman, Esko Grundstörm, Aili Järvelä and Roope Mäenpää. Concert duration: approximately 2 hours (including intermission) COLLECTION Wind harp quartet Sväng Eero (Geero) Grundström | diatonic and chromatic harmonicas Jouko Kyhälä | harmonetta, diatonic and chromatic harmonicas Pasi Leino | bass harmonica Eero Turkka | diatonic and chromatic harmonicas Oulu Sinfonia Janne Nisonen | conductor https://www.svang.fi/concerts |

Niepold Cutting - concert - BE/UKby Diatonic News |
Niepold Cutting (Belgique/Grande-Bretagne) Sortie d’album Le vendredi 3 mars 2023 - 20h00 Théâtre Molière - Galerie de la Porte de Namur, 3 Square du Bastion, 1050 Bruxelles Laissez-vous emporter par le son des accordéons diatoniques d’Anne Niepold et Andy Cutting. Nourrie par différents courants et influences, la musicienne Anne Niepold pousse toujours plus loin les limites de son instrument. De « Deux accords diront » à « Musette is not dead », elle vit sa passion sans frontière et se révèle être l’une des accordéonistes les plus innovantes d’Europe. Son répertoire se situe entre différentes traditions musicales. Elle traverse les époques, fait cohabiter les styles et décloisonne les esthétiques. On la décrit comme « une fille avec un vrai caractère, forgé dans le métal dont sont faites les lames de son accordéon ». Andy Cutting est un génie de l’accordéon diatonique. Connu pour son travail en duo avec Chris Wood, Blowzabella et Topette, il a joué avec des célébrités comme Sting ou les Who ! Doté de son style propre, on reconnait immédiatement le timbre de son instrument auquel il donne un son unique. Son phrasé et ses compositions oscillent entre le folk anglais traditionnel ou plus contemporain. C’est toujours exceptionnel et émouvant de le voir et de l’entendre jouer. Maîtrisant le rythme, la mélodie et l’harmonie, comme accompagnateur ou comme soliste, Cutting excelle entre mélodies fortes et soufflets raffinés. Bien que très différents, les deux artistes ont un point commun : l’envie de toucher le public et de lui transmettre des émotions fortes. Ils se complètent parfaitement dans cet album en duo, chaleureux, enjoué et parsemé d’humour. https://muziekpublique.be/concerts/20230303_niepold-cutting-be-gbr/ |

Duplex - Didier Laloy et Damien Chierici - Ferme du Biéreau/Belgiqueby Diatonic News |
Friday 31 MARCH 2023 at 20:30H TRAD, WORLD & ÉLECTRO DUPLEX, c’est la rencontre entre l’accordéoniste Didier Laloy et le violoniste Damien Chierici, deux musiciens renommés de la scène belge. C’est aussi la rencontre de deux générations et de deux univers musicaux différents qui n’étaient pas forcément appelés à se croiser un jour. Didier a un background de musiques traditionnelles/world et est connu pour avoir apporté un renouveau à l’accordéon diatonique au niveau européen. Damien, lui, est issu de toute la foisonnante mouvance « pop/ rock » belge. Ils fusionnent leurs influences saupoudrées de world, d’électro-pop et d’ambiances cinématographiques. Ce duo nous offre un carnet de voyages rêvés, surréalistes et fantasmés à la sauce belge, fait de rencontres multicolores et de saveurs épicées.

César Stroscio "Trio Esquina" - Franceby Diatonic News |
31 mars 2023 - Le Comptoir Halle Roublot 95 rue Roublot, 94120 Fontenay-sous-Bois FRANCE 01 48 75 64 31 Cofondateur du Cuarteto Cedron, avec lequel il a partagé plus de vingt ans d’aventures, le bandonéoniste César Stroscio officie désormais à la tête du Trio Esquina. Fluidité, simplicité virtuose et tendresse, ces trois musiciens mêlent leur passion en célébrant les rénovateurs essentiels du tango, tels Astor Piazzolla, Eduardo Rovira ou Guillermo Thomas, y associant leurs propres compositions. « La profondeur et la simplicite´ virtuose de la musique du Rio de la Plata. Éblouissant […] Le me´lange d’influences contemporaines et de tradition de tango souligne la vitalite´ d’une culture » (JLG, Ouest France). « Ce´sar est unique. Tout un art du tango et la milonga qui souligne la diffe´rence entre l’excellent instrumentiste et le musicien d’exception avec son e´quation poe´tique…Jamais aussi magique qu’en concert. » (Frank Tenaille) Avec : César STROSCIO (bandonéon) Claude TCHAMITCHIAN (contrebasse) Tomás BORDALEJO (guitare) Crédit photo : Adèle de Palaminy |
DANÇAS OCULTAS (PT) performing in - Vienna/Austriaby Diatonic News |
Artur Fernandes: Diatonisches Akkordeon Francisco Miguel: Diatonisches Akkordeon Filipe Cal: Diatonisches Akkordeon Filipe Ricardo: Diatonisches Akkordeon Das diatonische Akkordeon ist eine Traum-Maschine: So jedenfalls behandeln es die vier Instrumentalisten von Danças Ocultas, die zu den innovativsten und spannendsten Vertretern zeitgenössischer Klänge aus Portugal gehören und Vergessenes und Entrücktes in die Wahrnehmung zaubern. Ihr impressionistischer Folk ist von vielen musikalischen Wurzeln genährt: Portugiesische Volksmusik, Tango Nuevo, Klassik und Kammerjazz. Das Quartett lässt die Musik warm und ruhig fließen, schnelle Finger und virtuose Kapriolen sind für einmal Nebensache. Umso stärker kommen Stimmungen und Emotionen zum Tragen, die vom raffinierten Lichtdesign noch verstärkt werden. Es entstehen minimalistische, tiefgründige Klanggemälde voll unerwarteter Wendungen und erhabener Melancholie. Sehr spezielle Musik, in die man gar nicht anders kann als einzutauchen! 11/03/23 Greith-Haus/St. Ulrich im Greith Austria 12/03/23 Akkordeonfestival/Vienna Austria tickets: wiener-metropol.at 15/03/23 Treibhaus/Innsbruck Austria |

Latest Cd "One for the road" by Airboxes. Airboxes stands for infectious dance music performed by the duo Bert Leemans and Guus Herremans on chromatic and diatonic accordion. Bert (chromatic) and Guus (diatonic) are perfectly attuned to each other, the sounds of their instruments melt together in everything they play and take you to a magical world. Airboxes only plays their own work. Their alternating intimate solos and timbre-colored interplay create an all-encompassing whole. they say: Airboxes are two men, two accordions, one story. 01.

Herbert Pixner Projekt | Volksmusik! | Digipack - Italienby Diatonic News |
«Volksmusik!» Klingt ein bisschen nach Back to the Roots, vom Titel wie auch von der Musik her. Flinke Finger sind wie immer beim Herbert Pixner Projekt garantiert, aber insgesamt tritt die Virtuosität zugunsten der Musikalität einen Schritt zurück. Auch Seitensprünge in die Sparten Jazz und Blues, wie sie z.B. auf den CDs «QUATTRO» und «SUMMER» zelebriert hat, werden unterlassen. Es ist wie heimkommen: Traditionelle Musikstücke, schlicht, sensibel, feinsinnig gespielt. (Zitat: www.zalp.ch) Nachdem die Ltd. Edition in der exklusiven Zirbenholzbox ausverkauft ist gibt es das Album «Volksmusik!» nun als Digipack. Auch als Notenheft in Griffschrift für Steirische Harmonika erhältlich! Herbert Pixner (Steirische Harmonika) Manuel Randi (Gitarre) Heidi Pixner (Tiroler Volksharfe) Werner Unterlercher (Kontrabass) https://threesaintsrecords.jimdo.com/alpine-volksmusik/ |
CD "Maelstrom" by Duplex - BEby Diatonic News |
Didier Laloy and Damien Chierici are two renowned musicians on the Belgian music scene. The former plays the accordion, the latter the violin. And the joint music with which they are now making their record debut is a distinctive mix of electropop, world music, chamber music and folk. The mix is like cinematic, spherical soundscapes – like rippling water; who dive into the well of folk music; ups with drum beats and optimistic reunions with the sun, the heat, the vast green of summer. It is these dives, these ups and downs, the darkness and the light that together give rise to christening the album Maelstrom. It's all a little dreamy, a little surreal, a little anarchic, but also obviously cinematic, bordering on hypnotic. Along the journey through the album's fourteen cuts, you pass through countries like Canada and Bulgaria, through cities like London and New York City. You even end up in the Caribbean. But regardless of where you are, you sense something distinctly European, something distinctly Belgian in the music, which is seductively beautiful, rounded by historical weight and an innovative modernity.
