WoW Folk Festival - Castelfidardo/Italiaby Diatonic News |
 |
| Voglia di primavera con il WoW Folk Festival. La rassegna organizzata da assessorato alla cultura e Pro Loco offre da venerdì 26 a domenica 28 maggio un’edizione all’insegna delle novità. Non solo vibrazioni aggreganti e musica di qualità grazie ad interpreti di primo piano, ma anche un tuffo nei sapori e nelle abilità di un tempo. «Il WoW compie sei anni, sei proposte diverse che hanno visto artisti internazionali suonare e far ballare gli spettatori portando note dalla Spagna al Portogallo, dal Belgio alla Svezia passando per il Brasile e l’Angola, la Francia e la Scozia oltre alla migliore tradizione a mantice italiana della world music e del folk. Una commistione di suoni e danze che dimostra la profondità di una musica la cui ricerca esprime la saggezza dei popoli e delle comunità. Balli rituali, girotondi e corteggiamenti sono il traino del WoW folk festival che attraverso i laboratori di balli folk e del Cantamaggio sta avvicinando più consapevolmente il pubblico a questo appuntamento», spiega l’assessore Ruben Cittadini. Il WoW si candida ad essere uno dei principali festival folk d’Italia in forza di un ventaglio completo e inclusivo di iniziative: la mostra di organetti storici esposti al Museo internazionale della fisarmonica a cura di Danilo Doninelli e Stefano Fabbroni, i laboratori artigianali di cucina, costruzione di strumenti a percussione, intreccio cesti e i giochi dell’800 frutto dell’ampliamento della collaborazione con Tracce di 800, il coinvolgimento dei giovanissimi tramite i saggi delle orchestrine scolastiche e l’aspetto didattico-formativo promosso dalla civica scuola ‘Soprani’ con il seminario di Simone Bottasso. AD Partecipa al concorso Absolut e vinci esperienze uniche. Scopri come! Dal 15 Aprile al 15 Giugno, iscriviti e prova a vincere uno dei tre Absolut World of Cocktails Kit in palio: Vodka Tonic, Espresso Martin… Absolut Raccomandato da Sul palco di piazza della Repubblica (in caso di maltempo: Auditorium San Francesco), tre concerti ad ingressolibero capaci di sprigionare scintille di energia. Venerdì alle 21.30, i “Marca da ballo” si esibiscono in speciale formazione a quartet. Al trio composto da Gianni Donnini all’organetto, Alfio Vernuccio alla chitarra, Claudia Gioia Gentili alla voce, si unisce infatti Ilaria Mignoni al violino, generando una coinvolgente miscela di Balfolk europeo e musica popolare – tradizionale italiana tutta da ballare, con arrangiamenti personali e anche pezzi originali. Sabato alle 21.30, in scena lo straordinario Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, band composta dai maggiori protagonisti della musica popolare pugliese che offrirà uno spettacolo di esplosiva passione e ritmo, reinterpretando in chiave moderna tutto ciò che ruota attorno alla celebre pizzica tarantata rituale, che aveva il potere di curare attraverso la musica, la trance e la danza il morso della leggendaria taranta. La domenica sarà poi la giornata del Cantamaggio, con i gruppi spontanei guidati da Tr800 che gireranno nei quartieri, un “rito” itinerante all’insegna della convivialità e di una simbologia intimamente legata al fiorire della primavera, ai ritmi della natura e della vita. Alle 17.00, in piazza il concerto del Duo Bottasso: Nicolò al violino e alla tromba e Simone all’organetto, propongono uno spettacolo di world music con composizioni proprie e reinterpretazioni di brani tradizionali.

What Are You Doing For May 6th World Accordion Day? - Internationalby Diatonic News |
 |
 What are you doing for World Accordion Day (WAD) to promote the accordion in your country? World Accordion Day (WAD) is on May 6th, which is the day the accordion was patented in 1829.WAD was started in 2009 by the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) and has been very successful, generating a lot of positive publicity for the accordion. A key part of this event is the WAD website. Every association, group, orchestra, performer and teacher, is asked to actively support WAD by encouraging national and local accordion activities to happen in their country on this day or the weekend either side of WAD if that should be more convenient. Everyone can register their WAD activity on the WAD website and send a report of their event after, for that website. No event is too big or too small. ALL accordion events celebrating WAD 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. |

15. Harmonica Masters Workshops - Germanyby Diatonic News |
 |
| After a lengthy break due to the covid pandemic, the 14th Harmonica Masters Workshops from June 08 - 12 2022 brought the community back together for a joyous celebration of its instrument. Around 100 participants came to Trossingen for four days of workshops, sessions and concerts in one of the pivotal locations in the history of the harmonica. Following successful restructuring, the Hohner Conservatory has once again taken over the organisation on site as organiser and we are looking forward to working together again. The website has now been updated and we are accepting registrations for all workshops with immediate effect. For the 15th edition of the Harmonica Masters Workshops important instructors are on board. The programme combines the return of old friends with some new impulses and promises to be another highlight in the harmonica players' calendar. Alongside of popular workshop on traditional blues harmonica with the great Joe Filisko, welcome back to the master teacher David Barrett, who will be giving a class in Trossingen again for the first time since 2018. Following the success of his course in 2022, Swedish harmonica customizer and expert for Irish music Joel Andersson will be joining for the second time and for a first ever class on Argentine tango for chromatic harmonica, presented by one of that country's leading players and teachers, Santiago Alvarez. Bluesman, singer, harmonica artist and teacher Bonny B. (Cambodia/Switzerland) comes also for the first time to give a course on blues and gospel harmonica and vocals for intermediate students. This year the beginners workshop on Friday and Saturday will be given by harmonica instructor and performer Chris Kramer, well known in Germany for his work with rock star Peter Maffay. As in previous years, Eric Noden will teach a class for acoustic blues guitar. Festival director Steve Baker won’t be giving a class but will be available for individual tuition. During the lunch break on Thursday, Friday and Saturday short additional workshops on harmonica and health, mindful breathing and amplified harmonica, respectively presented by long-time students Mattias Bogefors, Quim Roca and George Reijnders are available.

NINA BALLA, il RACCONTO PER VOCE E QUARTETTO - Italiaby Diatonic News |
 |
| NINA BALLA, il RACCONTO PER VOCE E QUARTETTO di CLAUDIO PRIMA fa tappa in SALENTO, al SALONE DEL LIBRO di TORINO e a PERUGIA Nuove repliche per NINA BALLA, il racconto per voce e quartetto scritto e interpretato da Claudio Prima, con la regia di Marcelo Bulgarelli. Lo spettacolo, scritto e ideato nel 2020, durante il primo lockdown, racconta la vita di Nina, ragazza albanese trasferita in Puglia con la madre, ritracciando la storia che è stata di tantissimi albanesi negli anni novanta. Una storia personale che connette destino e genealogia, viaggio e scoperta di sè. Prossimi appuntamenti 12 Maggio, LEVERANO (LE), Teatro Comunale 21 Maggio TORINO, Salone del Libro 10 Giugno AMELIA (PG), LUme Festival il teaser con le immagini di Nina balla è disponibile a questo link su Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObUfTnm44Bs&feature=youtu.be La musica e la voce di Claudio Prima, accompagnato Vera Longo, Marco Schiavone e Vito De Lorenzi, raccontano con musiche e testi inediti, le avventure di Nina, ragazza di origine albanese cresciuta in Italia, con una storia personale che la lega ancestralmente con la sua terra d’origine e con la danza, una storia che è impressa nel suo nome e la spingerà a cambiare il suo destino. Una storia moderna, eppure senza tempo, che intreccia le sue pieghe più intime con le musiche originali che la sostengono e le fanno da cornice, in uno spettacolo appassionante che trascina e commuove. Una storia che appartiene archetipicamente a tutte le donne del Sud, fiere e sinuose, come il mare che le accomuna. Nina è una ragazza albanese trapiantata in Italia, concepita in un contesto del tutto inaspettato. Questo suo stesso concepimento traccia, in nuce, tutta la sua vita, che in questa storia dispiega le sue più inaspettate direzioni. Geografiche innanzitutto, perché dall’Isola di Saseno, luogo di partenza del racconto, si approda in seguito, insieme a Nina e a sua madre, in Puglia, a San Giovanni Rotondo, tracciando così la rotta che è stata di tantissimi albanesi dagli anni Novanta ad oggi. http://www.claudioprima.it/ |

The step by step teaching method combined with a tablature method ( good news for those who don't read music yet) means by the end of the workshop you will have played at least one tune and have the tools to play further tunes, We say yet because many, by using the tablature, have found they have inadvertently learned that skill as a by-product. If you can borrow an instrument (must be D/G), bring it along! If you haven't got access to one, we have a bank of at least 14 good quality Hohner melodeons which can be used by the budding musicians who would like to try out but don’t have access to an instrument. https://chippfolk.co.uk/int/ShowPerf?id=929 |

KATRINE - sange tæt på - Denmarkby Diatonic News |
 |
| Welcome to an evening with music and songs written and performed by Katrine Krog Russo and Paolo Russo. Katrine's next album is starting to come together and we are looking forward listen to more of the new songs as well as some songs from the Danish folk-tradition - and maybe a visit to Italy as well. Her lyrical universe is recognisable and at the same time opens up new horizons. Stories carried by the melody - the one we feel we already know, but which still surprises and uplifts us. Paolo's Jazz Club Vollerupgade 55, 4792 Askeby May 20 2023 20:00 - 22:00 https://www.paolorusso.com/ |
