The
Opening Ceremony of the 64th Coupe Mondiale drew a sold out
audience at the Star Stage Theatre. Two days prior to the Opening
Ceremony, the confirmation that the Mayor of Shanghai would
attend, created a frenzy of activities as the media descended
on the event. The Mayor, also an accordionist was attending
as a VIP audience member. Prior to the concert, he spent some
time with CIA Officials and other distinghuised guests.
The Opening Ceremony Concert was a spectacular success, highlighting
the accordion in many different genres, full of visual appeal
and graphic arts. The premiere of the new concerto for accordion,
two Shengs and Symphony featured a graphic sand artist who created
many different scenes on the giant screen displays behind the
orchestra. Renowned accordionist Richard Galliano performed
a magnificent duo for accordion and Sheng, while the 70 piece
Baidi Children's Palace Accordion Orchestra from Beijing closed
the concert. Below are pictures from the Opening Ceremony Concert. |
