ROBERT BONFIGLIO PRESENTS:
His first Chromatic Seminar for Diatonic Players
(and also for chromatic players and teachers who wish to advance their
chromatic knowledge and pedagogy)

August 8-13, 2005

Held at his home in beautiful
Copoake
Columbia County
New York.

I have introduced players like Randy Singer, Rob Paparozzi, Clint Hoover
and Sugar Blue to chromatic and given lessons to Mike Turk and William
Galison who already could play chromatic.

This will be the week before SPAH to allow players from abroad to take
part and I will update you as to some special stop-by guests like Rob Paparozzi!!
This proves to be a very heavy duty chromatic week.


The seminar will be $300 or $500 if you stay at the house for the week.
I can pick people up without cars from the train station 20 minutes away.
I will include a copy of my two etudes "Scales and Arpeggios" and
"Bona Rhythm Etudes" for each player which usually cost $200.

We will cover everything from tone, phrasing, corner switch, dynamics,
speed, practice habits, etc.

Please email me if you wish to come.

Harmonically yours,
Robert Bonfiglio

WORLD HARMONICA FESTIVAL 2005
November 2-6, 2005
Trossingen, GERMANY

Harmonica fans watch out! The Fédération Internationale de l’Harmonica (FIH) once again has
the pleasure of inviting you to one of the most important events in the harmonica lover's calendar.
Every four years the World Harmonica Festival comes to Trossingen in the beautiful Black Forest
region. Soon it will be returning for the fifth time. Alongside concerts and seminars, presented by
some of the finest players performing today, the festival will also include competitions, sessions
and a varied supporting program. Last but not least, the World Harmonica Festival provides the
opportunity to celebrate our unique instrument in the company of countless friends both old and new.


Three full length evening concerts in the Dr. Ernst Hohner Concert Hall will showcase the entire range of
contemporary harmonica music starting at 8.15 pm from Thursday to Saturday.


Featured harmonica artists:
Adler Trio (Israel)
Kathrin Gass (Germany)
Hermine Duerloo (Holland)
Lars Vegas & The Love Gloves feat. Marko Jovanovic (Germany)
Eddie Martin (GB)
Steven de Bruyn & The Rhythm Junks (Belgium)
Joe Filisko (USA)
David Barrett (USA)
Julian Jackson (GB)
Beata Kossovska & Le Blue (Poland)
Harmonicamento (Germany)
Harmonica Choir Laakirchen (Austria)
Abi Wallenstein & Blues Culture feat. Steve Baker (Germany/Sweden/GB)
Yasuo Watani, Ulrich Müller-Froß, Kings Harmonica Quintet (Japan, Germany)
Marc Breitfelder (Germany)

As at previous festivals in Trossingen, there will be competitions in categories featuring the various
different types of harmonica and the most popular musical styles. The adjudicators will primarily be
drawn from the ranks of the guest artists, who will also be performing in the concerts.


A wide ranging workshop program will cover all aspects of contemporary harmonica.

Following the evening concerts, the action moves to the "Kesselhaus", the former power station on
the historic Hohner factory site in the center of Trossingen. This is the first time that the legendary
"Late Night Sessions", organized by Steve Baker and accompanied by the excellent B-Sharp Rhythm
Section, have taken place in this location. The sessions offer all comers the opportunity to get up on
stage with a top professional backing band and show what they can do in front of an appreciative and
knowledgeable audience. They also offer the possibility of showcasing short concert appearances by
artists who cannot be fitted into the evening concerts due to time constraints.


The German Harmonica Museum houses the largest collection of harmonica models in the world and
will be presenting a special tour dedicated to the history of the instrument. The supporting program
also offers a guided tour of the Hohner harmonica production facilities. In the Dr. Ernst Hohner Concert
Hall there will also be a selection of stands offering instruments, CDs, books and accessories such as
amplifiers and microphones.


Detailed information and registration forms can be found on the festival website:
http://www.whf-2005.de


All harmonica fans without internet access can obtain information and registration forms directly from the

Fédération Internationale de l´Harmonica (FIH)
Postfach 1260

The organisational team of the World Harmonica Festival 2005 looks forward to your visit!

BIRMINGHAM'S HEART OF THE SOUTH HARMONICA MUSIC FESTIVAL
May 11-13, 2006
Birmingham, Alabama

We ARE going to have a harmonica festival in Birmingham, Alabama - 2006!

If you were one of the 300+ who were involved in the original Dixie Harmonica Festival,
we would like for you to see again. If you were not here then we would still like you to come.
At this time we are seeking every bit of help we can find. Instead of The Dixie Harmonica Festival
which is what we called it in 1989, this will be Birmingham's Heart of the South Harmonica Music Festival.
That contains the Heart of Dixie idea without the flash word.
We want this to be a great mix of the music of the south.


To all who might be interested in the plans we are making -
If you think you might want to be involved or have already talked to us about involvement -
If you would just like to see what "those guys down in Birmingham" might be able to cook up -
We would like to hear from you. We value your input and encouragement.


We hope to represent all of these harmonica/music styles.
Classic "Harmonicats" Stylings (Al and Judy Smith - The Hotshots have us on their schedule)
Blue Grass (We have verbal commitment from Buddy Greene of the Gaither Music Reunions
and Jerry Ryan of "Three On A String"
and Tommy "Toes" Bounds)
Country Swing (Charlie McCoy and his band plan to be here from Nashville,
and our friend Billy Jenkins will be here with his group)
Dixieland "New Orleans Style" Jazz
Cajun and Zydeco
Delta Blues
Traditional black spiritual
Southern Gospel


We think the "Southern Music" theme will make what we have planned absolutely distinctive from any past event
associated with SPAH (The Society for the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica).
Someone already stated, "It sounds like you want religious music." Our response is simple: “No, but it is very hard to
take religion out of a southerner.” If it is part of who the performer "is", it will not be out of place at this festival.


We are gathering good support from some important people in our state. Frank "Doc" Adams, the director of the
Birmingham Jazz Hall of Fame has offered the facilities of the Carver Theater in the "Civil Rights District" for some
of the Blues and Jazz events. "Doc" played sax with "Duke" Ellington. For many years he was a key figure of music
in the Birmingham City Schools.


Also, a past member of Harmonicas of Alabama is an Alabama legislator by the name of John Rogers. After 22 years
in our state legislature, and once an avid harmonica player, he wants to help us make this thing happen.


If this is interesting to you we really would like to hear from you.
If you know someone who would be interested, please pass this along.
We think this will be a great time and we need your help.

Thanks, Addison Hitchcock (Director)
