79. Villacher Kirchtag - Kärnten/Österreich

by Diatonic News
villacher Kirchtag
79. Villacher Kirchtag noch bis 04. August 2024

Der große Erfolg, der dem ersten Kirchtag beschieden war, veranlasste die Organisatoren den Villacher Kirchtag auch weiterhin durchzuführen und nur die Kriegsjahre des 2. Weltkrieges von 1940 bis 1947 sowie die Pandemiejahre von 2020 bis 2021 brachten eine Unterbrechung in der Reihe dieser Veranstaltung.

Wenn beim großen Trachtenfestzug am ersten Samstag im August 40.000 bis 50.000 Zuseher:innen an die 4.000 Trachtenträger:innen bewundern, kann der Villacher Kirchtag auf eine lange Tradition zurückblicken, welche immer im Interesse des Brauchtums und des Ansehens unserer Stadt lag.

Am 7. August 1948 wurde der Villacher Kirchtag als erste große Veranstaltung nach dem Krieg, dank der Initiative einiger beherzter Männer, wieder durchgeführt. Die ganze Stadt wurde zum Tanzboden, erstmals konnten Speisen und Getränke ohne Lebensmittelkarten erworben werden, und nach einer Reihe von Jahren der Finsternis, erstrahlte die Innenstadt wieder in einem Lichtermeer.

Noch mehr Details zur Erfolgsgeschichte des Villacher Kirchtags gibt es hier zum Nachlesen:

Sounding Out the Accordion

Cotati Accordion Festival - USA

by Diatonic News
Cotati Accordion Festival
Cotati Accordion Festival on August 16-18, 2024 - At La Plaza Park, Cotati, CA

Mission Statement
The Cotati Accordion Festival is a non-profit organization established in 1991 to promote the love of the accordion and to help fund music programs in the local schools.

The Cotati festival was presented as a community service, free to the public. It was held in the downtown plaza under the oaks. The response was overwhelming. “we were amazed at the reception and response to our idea. It tickled the fancy of music lovers locally, nationally and internationally!” recalled Buck-Kauffman. Boggio put it a different way, “The thing that struck me was all those smiling faces. People of all ages dancing, listening, tapping their feet — all with smiles on their faces.”

Much to the elation of those responsible (and to the surprise of the skeptics) the first outdoor Cotati Accordion Festival was conducted and concluded on a highly successful note.
To date, they have contributed in over $500,000 to the youth of their community.

35th annual Carrefour mondial de l’accordéon - Montmagny/Canada

by Diatonic News
Carrefour Mondial dell'Accordéon
35th edition of the World Accordion Fair from August 30th to September 1st, 2024

The Carrefour mondial de l’accordéon was established more than 35 years ago in Montmagny, a town in Quebec’s Chaudière-Appalaches region. The festival has grown into a major international event. Each year, it features some 75 musicians from all around the world.

Selected artists give street performances, filling the town with the lively and diverse sounds of the accordion. Over the span of three days, festival-goers can travel through time to discover (or rediscover) well-known musicians. World music, Quebec traditional, musette, classical, jazz… there’s something for everyone!

Activities are held place in concert halls as well as at various outdoor venues. Exhibitions, musical entertainment at restaurants, workshops and a traditional dance party are all included in the festival program. It features more than 30 concerts that give visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in local Montmagny culture.

Throughout the year, the Carrefour mondial de l’accordéon also organizes traditional music outreach activities, along with projects designed to showcase the diatonic accordion and nurture the next generation of accordionists.

Franz Posch & seine Innbrüggler (Tirol) - Österreich
Die „Innbrüggler“ sind eine 6-Mann Tanzlmusi aus Hall in Tirol unter der Leitung von Franz Posch. Das Repertoire umfasst Volksweisen, Blasmusikmärsche, Böhmisch-Mährische Musik, Inntaler Stücke und „Selberg’strickte“. Ein Anliegen der Innbrüggler ist es, Tanzlmusi so frisch und lebendig wie möglich zu spielen, d.h. es ist auch sehr viel Raum für Improvisation. Mit Ausnahme der beiden melodieführenden Instrumente, musizieren alle anderen Instrumente relativ frei und spontan. Es gibt kaum ein Stück, das zwei Mal gleich gespielt wird.

Wann und wo: Villacher Kirchtage - noch bis 3. August 2024

Nach dem Herbsttreffen 2024 im bewährten Schieferpark, geht es im Frühjahr 2025 an den Geburtsort der Konzertina: der Kulturhauptstadt Chemnitz, in der Carl Friedrich Uhlig die Deutsche Konzertina erfunden hat.

Mit ca. 20 TeilnehmerInnen hat das KonzertinaNetz-Treffen eine recht überschaubare Größe mit Schwerpunkt gemeinsam Musizieren (z.B. die Stücke auf der Melodienseite).

Allerdings hat sich das Treffen auch zu einer Anlaufstelle für Anfänger entwickelt, so dass bei Bedarf für Deutsche Konzertina und Anglo Starthilfe angeboten werden.

Interessenten, die noch nicht wissen, welche Konzertina sie kaufen sollen, bilden die dritte Besuchergruppe. Hier kan man die verschiedenen Typen sehen, hören, antesten und sich beraten lassen.

Deutsche Konzertina, Anglos, Englische und Duet sind hier die gängigen Instrumente, aber auch Chemnitzer, Carlsfelder und Bandonions sind regelmäßig vertreten.

Einige Teilnehmer haben auch andere Instrumente dabei, was das Musizieren bereichert. Deswegen sind auch MusikerInnen mit anderen Instrumenten ausdrücklich eingeladen, obwohl es ein Konzertinatreffen ist! Das Treffen lebt von der Musik, die die Teilnehmer mitbringen.
Der musikalische Leiter ist Jochen Riemer, der das Treffen mitbegründet hat.

Melton Summer Folk Festival - UK
Summer Festival – 3rd and 4th August 2024
In and around the town centre of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire

Melton Folk Festivals are free festivals taking place around the town centre of Melton Mowbray and organised by members of the Melton Folk Club.

They normally organise two festivals each year. One is in the height of summer, usually the first weekend in August. The second is in winter, usually falls on the second weekend of December, and is also billed as The Melton Mowbray Christmas Folk Trail.

Each festival consists of a large number of acts performing in various venues around the Melton Mowbray town centre.

The acts cover a wide range of styles from very traditional to very contemporary. They may be individuals or groups and, whilst most are fairly local, acts from further afield are also attracted to perform at our events.

Acts are scheduled to perform in 40 minute time slots at each venue. Many acts choose to perform as many as six times in different venues over the weekend whilst others perform in fewer slots, perhaps only on one of the days.

In addition to the performance slots a number of singarounds or sessions are scheduled over the festival including an introductory one on the evening of the day prior to the festival itself. All are welcome to attend these as audience or participants. The more the merrier and they provide a good chance to meet up with old friends and make new ones.

After two succesfull albums( “Opus 1” and “Escales”), Baltazar Montanaro and Sophie Cavez are coming to De Centrale to present their long-expected third album “Le troisième temps”. The duo takes you on a musical journey, starting from the North (Balthazars current residence) and woven with sounds from the East. The musicians bring music filled with emotions, sometimes improvised, but above all, soft, tender and free. It is a true pleasure to hear, but also to see these two top musicians play together.

Terrasses du Festival

Le groupe de chants de la mer de chants traditionnels a été créé en 2014. A l’origine le groupe est constitué de 3 musiciens/chanteurs issus de chorales de chants de marins de la région lorientaise et se nomme « An Aod ».

Depuis cette date, le groupe se produit régulièrement lors de manifestations festives et privées.

En 2021, le groupe dépendant d’une association prend son indépendance et devient « Equipage An Aod ». Le groupe est composé de 6 musiciens et/ou chanteurs et interprète essentiellement du chant de marins et des chants liés à la mer. Il peut également également s’adonner au répertoire irlandais. « Equipage An Aod » essaie de donner une originalité musicale à l’interprétation des chants. Equipage An Aod est avant tout une équipe qui a le plaisir de jouer et chanter ensemble et de partager ce plaisir avec le public, éventuellement en le mettant à contribution.

Bayou Noir at Orinda Farmers Market, Orinda

Dwight Shackelford was born in 1953 in the deep bayou town of Houma, Louisiana, in Terrebonne Parish in SE Louisiana, about 60 miles SW of New Orleans. From a young age he grew up experiencing Mardi Gras, hurricanes, Community Coffee with Chicory, and Sunday morning family outings to the Cafe duMonde and the French Market in N.O. However, his musical world was comprised of listening to New Orleans sounds because of the proximity. There was no Zydeco dance scene near him when growing up. You had to go to SW Louisiana for that. After moving to California, he joined the local scene, and was bowled over by Zydeco.

First spending many sweaty days and nights as a dancer in the vibrant Bay Area Cajun/Zydeco scene, then as a rubboard player with bands like Sonoma County's Gator Beat, then as a single row and double row accordion player, he has been endeavoring to bring his ingrained dance rhythm to the community he had become a part of.

Included in the standard line-up of the band is Sonoma resident Nazar Eljumaily on guitar. Dwight and Nazar met through Sonoma County based Zydedo Band "Gator Beat". Nazar also currently plays with the Sonoma based band Wildflower Weed. Let's just say, Nazar ROCKS! South Bay artist Dana Mandell fills in on bass, and we're all backed up by Sonoma County's Kevin Dillon on drums.

To keep in practice, Dwight also plays solo gigs at Bay Area farmers markets. You'll see those listed too on the Events page.

by Diatonic News
Duo Nello
DEUX JEUNES MUSICIENS FRANÇAIS
FRIDAY | 18:00 - 23/08/2024 Boterhoek 8 / 9920 Lovendegem

The Nello duo, formed by Claire Dubonnet (vocals, whistle, Irish flute) and Gabriel Chiapello (vocals, accordion), likes to play for dancing.

Their repertoire, derived from traditional French music, nevertheless reveals personal notes, rich in their own compositions.


At a ball or in concert, they will take you on a journey through emotions, making you hit the floor, waltz on it or lose your mind, right in the middle of their colorful and touching universe.

Un concerto che ripercorre idealmente le antiche vie di comunicazione che collegano le montagne

Dai canti di lavoro alle serenate, dagli stornelli alle danze (dalle più antiche a quelle moderne
ottocentesche) un ritratto musicale che unisce due regioni da sempre accomunate da un forte legame, di lavoro e di vita.

by Diatonic News
Orquestrina Trama
Orquestrina Trama starts on 2013 between the Catalan regions of La Cerdanya and L'Alt Urgell, in the Pyrenees mountains. The members of the band are a group of young musicians strongly bound to the traditional Pyrenean music and culture, since they have got the privilege of living, knowing, learning and growing in this territory.
Their thrill is to revive the tunes and songs that, hidden behind their mountains, define best a way of life and understanding the surrounding world pretty particular. Inspired by dance music that used to be played many years ago in the streets and squares of Pyrenean villages, they address to the audience through their own style, which spreads their energy around and involves everyone in the party.

In August they will perform:

e Duo Vargoz a été créé en 2017 par deux frères, Guillaume et Robin. Chacun explore les musiques et danses de traditions orales depuis une vingtaine d’années. Si le répertoire principal du Duo Vargoz est issu du territoire alpin, ils ont confronté leur regard avec de nombreux musiciens-chercheurs d’autres régions: Auvergne, Irlande, Piémont italien, Appalaches…

CD "DYAD" by Laloy/Tyberghein - BE

by Diatonic News
CD
Didier Laloy and Adrien Tyberghein, two outstanding musicians, form a duo born of the desire to combine two seemingly opposing universes: so-called “serious” music and “light” music.

Their duo breaks the stylistic boundaries by mixing traditional music, classical music, rock and electronic music. Their repertoire consists of original music revealing all the richness of this collaboration. From crazy rhythms to expressive melodies, these compositions take the audience to the crossroads of different worlds.

Didier dreamed of being able to shake hands with a conductor when coming on stage. Adrien dreamed of improvising on traditional themes from elsewhere. Their dreams came true in this atypical, visceral and definitely rock-influenced duo.

CD "Ayab'" by Arbadétorne - FR

by Diatonic News
ArbadétorneDes cordes frottées, un accordéon, des voix… ça pulse, ça impulse, ça gavotte, ça teurlasse... coume in draule inserviablle trjou après gignailler !
Ayab’ c’est le nouveau projet de bal d’Arbadétorne Trio (nouvelle formule).
Ayab’ une grande marée d’énergie venue de l’ouest.
Vingt-cinq ans de danse de Vendée/Poitou, de bals à travers la France et l’Europe, et voilà que les cartes sont rebattues, la musique nouvelle, une autre dynamique mais toujours cette envie folle de porter la danse ! L’éternel bonheur de la musique qui devient mouvement, du mouvement qui devient plaisir…

Ayab’ n’est pas un testament, ni un bilan, juste une photo prise à un carrefour d’histoires. Celle de Jeff qui s’en va vivre d’autres aventures en laissant un orteil ou deux dans celle-ci. Celle de Benoit qui de satellite devient épicentre. Celle de Kikolé le Collectif qui, en se structurant, porte maintenant les projets de ses membres.
(Ayab’ : pas facile à traduire ! On va dire « Hyperactif fatiguant son monde » !)

Commander: bientôt disponible sur https://www.phonolithe.fr/ et sur les plateformes !
