William Porter's Course about Improvisation part 1 Smarano Organ Academy 2011

Smarano International Organ Academy presents one digital lesson from William Porter's Course about Improvisation during the Smarano International Organ Academy 2011, in 5 parts. The beginnning The Cultural Asscciation "Monsignor Celestino Eccher" was founded in February 1993 in Smarano as the natural evolution of a Committee previously established to steer the activities connected to the promotion of a pipe organ for the church of the village of Smarano. It was immediately clear that the future organ, assuming proper financing, had to be an high quality instrument, specifically featured for the baroque organ literature. A pure coincidence led to meet an organ maker, Glauco Ghilardi from Lucca (Tuscany), When funds were provided, both from the people of the village and from the local and regional Communites, the instrument was built and inaugurated in 1992, receiving immediately the interest of the experts which attended the inauguration. The Academy The "Accademia di Musica Italiana per organo in Pistoia" proposed this instrument for an intensive academic seminar about Northern German baroque music. The first seminar was held in April 1993 directed by the eminent professor and German organist Harald Vogel. The same seminar was repeated in one year later, still guided by Harald Vogel. Since August 1995 to 1999, the seminar became a much more extended Academy held by a Faculty appointed with the cooperation of Hans Davidsson and the Go-Art from of the Goteborg University. Since 1999 the Academy is led by Edoardo Bellotti, as artistic Director. Starting july 2008 the Society is ready to host organ and baroque keyboard masterclasses in a brand new Structure where a wide variety of instruments and spaces are provided all year around for an extended activity, both as open and dedicated Masterclasses, allowing students an intensive and coached individual practising as completion of the collective Academic work received on site. The future of the Association and Smarano Academy The investments made in the years 2008 / 2009 in the structure of Smarano, located in the building of the former elementary schools provide a further opportunity to expand the activity, which now is mostly restricted to spring and summer period, over the whole year. The wide availability of instruments and comfortable spaces even in winter allow to use the structure at its best both for specific activities related to courses of organ, harpsichord and clavichord, and also for other musical institutions (universities and conservatories) for specific learning activities directed to their students in the form of a Masterclass. SMARANO INTERNATIONAL ORGAN, CLAVICHORD AND IMPROVISATION ACADEMY Summer School 2012 From "Modality" to "Tonality" Summer School of 2012 will take place in Smarano and Bologna (St. Petronio Organs from 1476 and 1596) from Wednesday 25th July to Saturday 4th August 2012.
