What Are You Doing For World Accordion Day? - Internationalby Harley Jones |
 |
 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. |
Anna Lena Kois-jüngste Harmonikamacherin - Österreichby Diatonic News |
 Anna Lena Kois (18) machte ihr Hobby zum Beruf. Als erste Müller-Mitarbeiterin mit „Lehre mit Matura“ ist sie damit auch Österreichs jüngste Harmonikamacherin.Harmonika spielen können einige, aber eine Harmonika bauen? Das können nur wenige. Ihr Hobby zum Beruf gemacht hat die 18-jährige Anna Lena Kois aus Bad St. Leonhard, und zwar im traditionsreichen Familienbetrieb Harmonika Müller in Bad St. Leonhard. Als erste Müller-Mitarbeiterin mit „Lehre mit Matura“ ist sie damit auch Österreichs jüngste Harmonikamacherin. Nach ihrer ausgezeichneten Lehrabschlussprüfung folgt nun heuer noch die Matura. Von allen Instrumenten habe sie die Harmonika immer schon am meisten fasziniert, darum spielt die Harmonikamacherin bereits seit ihrem siebenten Lebensjahr auf ihrem Lieblingsinstrument. „Musikalisch zu sein, mit gutem Hörvermögen, reicht für den Lehrberuf allein nicht aus“, erzählt die ambitionierte junge Frau und fügt hinzu: „Bis zur fertigen Harmonika sind es zahlreiche Arbeitsschritte in der Fertigung, da muss man handwerklich geschickt sein und präzise arbeiten.“ Beitrag von Melanie Sablatnig |

20. INTERNATIONALE AKKORDEON FESTIVAL 2019 (bis 24.03.2019)by Diatonic News |
 Die 20. Auflage des Internationalen Akkordeonfestivals Wien verkünden, mit ihren vielen kommenden Attraktionen wie jedes Jahr, die letzten (kalendarischen) Wintertage zu überstehen und den langsam einsetzenden Frühling mit offenen Armen zu empfangen.20 ausufernde, programmatisch dichte Kulturfeste ganz im Zeichen des Akkordeons. Ein Instrument, in Hoch- und Volkskultur gleichermaßen vertreten, das zu E- und U-Musik ebenso stets etwas zu spielen weiss, wie es bei der Wiener Musik und der Weltmusik souverän mitzureden hat, regionale Dialekte diverser Folkloren ebenso fließend spricht wie die vielen Zungen der globalen Popmusik, mit den Jazzer_innen beseelt jamt und improvisiert, dass es eine wahre Freude ist, und sich dann in der Kammermusik subtil diszipliniert. Dennoch war im Jahr 2000, als Friedl Preisl das erste Akkordeonfestival umsetzte, nicht abzusehen, dass sich im Zeichen dieses großartigen Instruments eine solche Erfolgsgeschichte entwickeln würde können, als die das Akkordeonfestival Wien heute international wahrgenommen und nicht nur in Wien wertgeschätzt wird. Dies mag damit zu tun haben, dass beim Akkordeonfestival Wien immer wieder auch die Nähe und Querverbindungen oben aufgeführter Begrifflichkeiten, die tatsächlichen Wahlverwandtschaften vermeintlich unterschiedlicher Genres manifest werden, und es in der Essenz um lebendige Schönheit, um Lebendigkeit und deren in vielen musikalischen Formen wertigen Ausdruck gehen darf.

Winter-Hiking-Trekharmonika Weekend/Mark Söhngen - Hollandby Diatonic News |
 6-8 March 2015 Berg en Dal (Nijmegen)Make a weekend music and walk in the beautiful surroundings of Berg en Dal led by Mark Söhngen and Hilbert Post. Arrival Friday from 5 pm (dinner), end Sunday 4 pm. The workshop Mark gives the workshop. A sensitive minor roller, a sensual tango, a lazy blues or a swinging polka Playing the right notes is one thing, but how do you get such a melody according to sensitive or sensual or languid or swinging freshness? My grandmother said it all: "C'est le ton qui fait la musique". Therefore: in this workshop we will look at how you can make notes of music: how do you make a tone, how do you use it, do you like it or not, short, long, soft, hard, how to use your bellows after all, the breath of your draft harmonica and when exactly. Where do you leave your fingers and your feet and how do you (for a piece) turn off your mind and (completely) your feeling. We will do this in C / F and possibly. G / C on the basis of a couple of beautiful, sensitive, sensual, languid and swinging melodies from the rich repertoire (and that is often more than you think) from which we can choose as a tune harmonica player, from middle ages through balfolk to pop music. http://www.marksohngen.nl/Workshops.htm |
