[Harp-L] Asia Pacific Harmonica Festival



I got to hang with Madcat where we judged a contest of 110 harmonica players playing a movement of Beethoven Symphony!

Our mouths were wide open and that would pretty much describe what we saw at the Asia Pacific Harmonica Festival. Some unbelievable chromatic playing by players as young as 10. The technical level was impressive.

i judged 50 chromatic players on a test piece and one solo piece, many playing movements from Harmonica Concerti. The harmonica is alive and doing very well in every combo from Trios to solo to full ensmeble in Asia!

Haarmonically yours,

Robert Bonfiglio

BTW there are still a couple of spaces in the Grand Canyon Harmonica Seminar left. Dates are Sep 1-5 with a concert on the 6th - Rob Paparozzi and I doing the teaching. Email me if interested.
