Maintenir les accordéonistes du monde informés est ce qui concerne Accordions Worldwide. Merci de nous envoyer vos activités ou événements, petits ou grands, où quoi qu’ils se trouvent. Rappelez-vous le vieux dicton spectacle: "S'ils ne savent pas, ils ne pourront pas y aller."
Le Piazzolla Caffe & Bar (www.piazzollacaffe-bar.blogspot.com), partiellement détenue par l’accordéoniste Joao Gentil, est sur le point d'ouvrir dans la ville côtière portugaise de Cantanhede. Le commentaire suivant donne le ton:
"Dans l'histoire européenne, les petits cafés ont parfois joué un rôle trés important. Par exemple, le café Parisien Rotonda au début du 20eme siècle, les mondialement célèbres écrivains, poètes et peintres (Picasso était l'un d'entre eux) ont discuté leurs idées, certains projets réalisés, et y ont trouvé des sources d'inspiration.
Piazzolla Caffè & Bar à Cantanhede, Portugal, va être le lieu pour ceux qui aiment la musique immortelle de Piazzola. Il mettra la musique en vogue par une célébrité européenne – l’accordéoniste Joao Gentil, dont la performance passionnée des compositions de Piazzolla remporte cœurs dans le monde entier. Et - qui le sait? - Peut-être que ce café deviendra le Rotonda du 21eme siècle? ! "

The 58th All Scotland Accordion & Fiddle Championships, organized by Bill Wilkie MBE, took place in Perth, Scotland, on October 27th. The festival began with a ceilidh at The Queen’s Hotel on Friday October 26th, with music played by a band led by John Carmichael.
The Saturday evening variety concert starred accordionists Domi Emorine & Roman Jbanov – the Paris-Moscow Duo, whose performances of musette and Russian music made a nice contrast to the otherwise Scottish entertainment. Performers included the Bill Wilkie Accordion Orchestra, singer Donald Maxwell, comedian Eddie Rose, the Sandra Wright Dancers, solo accordionist Robert Black, the Dansarena Irish dancing troupe, and the show came to a rousing finale with the James Coutts Scottish Dance Band.
On the 30th November Roland held a Press Conference in Pesaro to announce the international solo and group category finalists competing at the Roland Festival on the 9th and 10th November in Pesaro. The list of adjudicators was also announced and a history of the development of the Roland V-Accordion instruments made available.
Roland management announced that over 2,000 Roland V-Accordions have now been built and a new model planned to sell for around €1,700, will be available soon.
The Roland Central Europe Final which took place on the 26th of October was discussed. The best accordionists of France and the Benelux gathered to claim themselves as best V-accordionist of Central Europe. The six finalists were: 1. Felicien Brut 2. Bereswinde Olland 3. Amelie Castel 4. Pieter Bosma 5. Louis Triemstra 6. Jorind Josemans. Unfortunately, Felicien Brut (the winner of the French semi-final) and Jorind Josemans (the third of the Benelux semi-finale) couldn't make it to the final which was of a very high level!
After hearing the impressive performances, the jury had a hard time to come to a verdict, but the winner of the Central Europe final was the French accordionist Amelie Castel (left), 2nd was Bereswinde Olland (middle) and 3rd Pieter Bosma (right). We are positive that Amelie Castel will give the other international
contestants a hard time at the International Final in Italy!
