TANGO! The Romano Viazzani Ensemble – Sunday Lunchtime- 10th March 2019 Pizza Express Jazz Club, Soho- artist change. The Romano Viazzani Ensemble has been busy preparing for their Sunday lunchtime concert.  It’s with great sadness though that they are to lose their long-time excellent double bass player Yaron Stavi and his fiancée the wonderful violinist Corinna Hentschel as they are emigrating to Germany. The ensemble is very lucky to secure two wonderful new permanent members in the form of Nick Pini on double bass and Barbara Dziewiecka-Data on violin who will be stepping in on March 10th. The Ensemble will be playing Tangos by Piazzolla, Traditional Tangos and some new compositions form the Ensemble’s forthcoming album London Tango.

Joanna Stand makes an impromptu return to The Pheasantry to celebrate the music of Michael Legrand as a tribute to the composer of so many well loved songs including Windmills of my Mind, The Summer Knows and Yentyl. With John Bailey on piano. Special guest appearance: Romano Viazzani (accordion)

After their sold-out 2018 concert the London Tango Quintet return to St Peter’s Church for an evening of sumptious tango classics by Piazzolla, Salgan and more. Seating is cabaret style at tables with ample room for any tango dancers who feel like taking to the floor.

RAM graduate Ben manages to continue his studies and concert career. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Music last year, accordionist Ben de Souza is studying choral conducting at Cambridge this year.  He is managing to continue playing concerts and study his conducting simultaneously which is both impressive and very welcome to all those who want to see the accordion played across many musical genres.

Accordion Revolution: A People’s History of the Accordion in North America – Bruce Triggs, The book has chapters on the squeezebox in early Rock ’n’ Roll and the Folk Revival, and big sections about Jazz (especially several women jazzers from the 1940s), Ethnic Musics, African American accordion, and 150 country and western accordionists (who knew?) I think it will be an eye-opener for readers and a fun new take on a lot of different music.

London-based accordionist Emmy Dumitru secures place at RAM. He has been studying with Romano Viazzani for a year and half and will start his studies at the RAM next September under the expert tutelage of Prof. Owen Murray.

A first solo accordion CD from Miloš Milivojević! ZZ Music is so pleased to present  this outstanding new album by one of the world’s top accordionists. Miloš Milivojević was part of Owen Murray’s golden generation of accordion students at the Royal Academy of Music in the early 21st century when he studied there after arriving from that other hotbed of accordion talent, Serbia, and has since been very active both in his adopted home city of London and all over the world. The album is well worth the wait.

Bandoneon Tutor by Cesare Chiacchieretta- for Chromatic Bandoneon. At last, a wonderful new tutor for chromatic bandoneon devised by ace accordionist and bandoneonist Cesare Chiacchieretta.  Of the many systems of bandoneon that exist, the chromatic bandoneon is by far the easiest to learn for accordionists. (In Italian and English)

Many performers find they can play perfectly well when they practise but then in performance they lose focus, or show outward signs of nervousness which prevent them from giving a performance they are worthy of. This book will help conquer this all to common problem with professionals, students and amateurs alike. It will help one to understand why it happens and how to counteract it. It is the next best thing to having a one to one or group session with this great lady herself.
