wes williams Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I couldn't resist adding this item from the October 1966 ICA Newsletter that I've just scanned. Is it history? I think so! CONCERTINAS AT CARNEGIE HALL Carnegie Recital Hall is the premier auditorium for serious music making in the U.S.A. Here on 26th September Allan Atlas, a 23 year old student of musicology at New York University gave a recital on his 48 key English Concertina. Allan Atlas already has his B.A.degree of Hunter College, and his Master's Degree of New York, and that a musician of such ability should cultivate the playing of the concertina is a wonderful tribute to the qualities of this neglected instrument. His programme included works by Vivaldi, Mozart, Bach and Paganini, proving the contention that the violin works of the great masters are ideal as concertina studies. Modernists are represented by Bloch (1930?) and Charles Schwartz (1966), while the specifically concertina music of Regondi was also included. Allan Atlas is a student of Boris Matusewitch.
