10th Annual World Music Festival, Innsbruck - Austriaby Kevin Friedrich, CIA Ambassador |
 |
 Thousands of accordionists from around the world gathered in Innsbruck, Austria to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the World Music Festival. Held for the first time in 1964 in Luzern under the name ‘Alpine Accordion Festival’, the idea of a festival of Accordion Orchestras was the idea of Harry Bühlmann, then President of the Swiss Accordion Federation. The Deutscher Harmonika-Verband e.V. (DHV) had found Bühlmann’s idea exciting and appealing, and so called the first meeting in Luzern. Taking advantage of Bühlmann’s contacts as a town councilor in Luzern, overnight accommodations were made possible in schools (with beds being provided by the Red Cross) and military Barracks. In 1965 the International Accordion Orchestra Federation (IAOV) was created with initial members being Germany, Switzerland, Holland and Austria. The first president was Harry Bühlmann, however after his state of health worsened, the President's position was assumed by Professor Walter Maurer from Vienna, who to leads the organization to this day. After the IAOV member the Harmonikaverband Österreichs (HVÖ) received an advertising letter from the Innsbruck Congress Center, it passed on to the DHV. Subsequently DHV officials visited the Congress Center and realized the huge potential and possibilities so in 1983 the Alpine Accordion Festival took place for the first time in Innsbruck. The success was so enormous that an invitation was extended for the 2nd Innsbruck event to be held three years later. The name of the accordion orchestra festival was changed to the World Music Festival, however it maintained a three year cycle between events. Opening with a gala VIP reception, in addition to competitions attracting more than 8,000 accordionists, the anniversary event also featured an array of world renowned guest performances by such names as: Akkordeonorchester Untergrombach (winner of the 2007 event) directed by W. Pfeffer, The Festival Orchestra (made up from students of the Hohner-Konservatorium and the Akkordeon-Landesjugendorchester) directed by Fritz Dobler, Accordeonova from Denmark (dir. Peter Anders), Alphen-Opus 2 from Netherlands (dir. Sergej Latychev), Accordeonova, Quadro Nuevo, Orchester Hohnerklang (dir. Hans-Günther Kölz), Kölner Akkordeon-Orchester (dir. Matthias Hennecke), the Nürnberger Akkordeonorchester (dir. Stefan Hippe) and Christine Schmid from Germany, Ars Harmoniae from Austria, Akkordeonorchester Switzerland (dir. Peter Frey) the Trio Vadim Fyodorov from Iceland and the Motion Trio from Poland. Organized by the DHV, 36 orchestras competed in the premier Orchestra competition, with the prestigious 10th anniversary title being won by the Nürnberger Akkordeonorchester (Germany) under the direction of Stefan Hippe.

Wiener Popfest am Karlsplatz/Vienna – Austriaby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 The first edition of the Vienna Popfestival was held from May 6th to 9th, with 38 concerts, featuring artists from the Austrian music scene.Clara Luzia opened the festival with a gig on the ‘floating stage’, right in front of the famous ‘Karlskirche’ (Charles Church), which was used during each day as a central venue. Curator Robert Rotifer revealed on Wednesday at a press conference of this ambitious mission: "The expression POP will find another meaning in Vienna after these four days." The aim was to accommodate as many ‘showcases’ in different styles. In view of the fixed program "a stylistically quite long way" was run by all participating, enthused now in GB-based FM4 radio commentator Rotifer Man, who is touring himself in the country with his current album, ‘The Children on the Hill’. The open-air show was organised by the ‘karlsplatz.org’, with free admission with guests such as Bunny Lake, Dance Baby!, Ernst Molden or Velojet, but also fresh names as this year's protest song contest winner Paute or the 80s headbands Astro Panda. Some of the gigs took place at the so-called showcase, where five labels such as Problembär Records, Fettkakao or Seayou could present their related merchandising. Besides the ‘floating stage’, which was reserved for ten concerts, the Vienna Museum, the Technical University and the Kunsthalle-branch ‘project space’ also served as venues. In addition to lush acoustic music from the early afternoon also included were discussion groups about: ‘Copyright 2.0’, workshop on ‘Social Media Tools’ and ‘Pop Marketing 2.0’. The City Councillor Andreas Mailath-Pokorny (S) spoke of the establishment of a separate force field for the music scene in Vienna: "The city needs critical points where it can condense culture" - and the Karlsplatz “Charles Square” has become such a place in recent years. The band Garish with singer and lyricist Thomas Jarmer (accordion) finished off on Sunday a very successful POPFESTIVAL IN VIENNA. |

The Festival Accordion Plus, 26 to 28 April, near to World Accordion Day, was a sea of emotions, impressions and sunny spring time concerts. Italian jazz exponent Renzo Ruggeri also held concerts in other cities near Rostov from 24 to 30 April. The festival opened with a press conference where everyone could chat with the guests, ask questions and take part in the discussions.

This was the first appearance of guests participating in the following concerts: Honored Artist of Russia - the first graduate-professional accordion Gennady Kalmykov (accordion), soloist of the National Orchestra of Folk Instruments named after Ossipov. Next was Visily Pianoff (vocals) and a leading representative of Italian jazz Renzo Ruggeri. At the end of the second evening concert, on the 65th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War (World War II), Visily Pianoff (baritone) shook the audience when he sang the national anthem ("Victory Day") and paid tribute to the victims of the war. April 28 was a jazz evening featuring Renzo Ruggeri and the Rostov ensemble "New-Centropezn Jazz Quartet" This was a real furor! The audience was ready to listen to them forever and the concert lasted more than 3 hours! April 29 featured a master class by Renzo Ruggeri in the Rostov State Conservatory. named after Rachmaninov. This was an easy, relaxed event, where Renzo also spoke about educational activities, working methods with students, hallowed jazz styles and directions. |

Conrad Rojac performing in concert at the University of Graz - Austriaby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 Within the Erasmus projects - international concert exchanges, the accordion teacher Corrado Rojac of the Conservatory G. Tartini in Trieste was invited by the music of the Austrian Music Univerisity of Graz to hold a concert in the Florentiner Saal at the Palace Meran. The concert was held on May 11th and was attended by an attentive and well prepared audience, mostly composed of university students, who acclaimed the concertist of Trieste with warm applause.This is a project of mutual exchange between European universities and conservatories, in fact, on April 7th, the famous Finnish Janne Ratty, accordion teacher of the Austrian Music University of Graz, performed at the Conservatory G. Tartini in Trieste. Conrad Rojac presented himself to the Austrian audience with a program that included, alongside classics such as the ‘Sonata No. 1’, by Anatoli Kusjakov, and Sofia Gubaidulina’s ‘De Profundis’, two Italian authors in Austrian premiere performance: by Milanese composers Alessandro Solbiati Cremonese and Gabrio Taglietti. Both are dedicated to Corrado Rojac two important compositions: Solbiati il Trittico, a piece written in 2006, and Taglietti the Three fantasies for accordion, just completed. Solbiati – a piece divided into three movements with many different characters which urges highest attention by the accordionist - especially for the flourishing of trills in the first movement, or the attitude of the second oscillatory as for the continuum that characterizes the fast third movement. ‘The Three Fantasies’ by Gabrio Taglietti are also in three movements with special difficulties for the accordion for its relentless rhythm that distinguishes each other. On May 12th Corrado Rojac presented to all students of Janne Ratty a brief history of Italian literature for accordion after World War II until today, with careful analysis of Luciano Berio's Sequenza XIII. |
