“Cruising” to new heights after six years!

Montreal, September 09, 2015 – Internationally regarded drum and percussion artist Aldo Mazza, just returned from a very successful trip to China where he had the incredible opportunity to teach and perform in front of six hundred eager Chinese drum enthusiasts alongside an international faculty – all this on a cruiseship!. This was the sixth edition of the well-established annual event produced in collaboration with China’s reputable 9 Beats Music Education Schools, a nation wide effort consisting of an astonishing 500 school locations throughout China. Mazza is the Founder and Artistic Director of KoSA Music, along with his wife Dr. Jolán Kovács. KoSA Music has a 20 year successful track record of producing high-level music camps, workshops and festivals worldwide and the China event is one that Mazza always looks forward to and is proud to see grow each year by leaps and bounds!

The 2015 event kicked off by leaving the port city of Tianjin, China on a luxury cruise ship and heading straight to Japan. Throughout the week, drumset classes were given on the ship to school-aged participants alongside the watchful eye and help of their parents. An important ingredient to the success of the 9-Beats School System is the very important teacher training seminars. These lucky teachers were taught by this year’s stellar faculty: Rick Latham (U.S), Pete Lockett (U.K), Izumi Koga (Japan), Dom Famularo (U.S), Chris Trzcinski (U.S), Nicholas McBride (Australia) Sam Debell (U.K) An Yu “Ryan” (China), Han Bingchen (China), and Canadian drummer Aldo Mazza.

Plans are already underway for next year’s event in China (August 2014) with a possibly bigger collaboration with the reputable 9 Beats school directed by Mr. Li Hongyu.

Montreal, September 12th, 2011 — This past August, KoSA Founder and Artistic Director, Aldo Mazza, taught and performed in China. Aldo, along with KoSA co-founder and life partner Jolán Kovács-Mazza, have established an annual KoSA CHINA workshop event in collaboration with China’s 9 Beats music education, a national structure consisting of some 65 schools throughout China

“This was my third tour in mainland China,” states Aldo. “Each time I return to North America fully charged and impressed about different experiences there. I have been asked annually to lead workshops in drums and percussion, as well as perform in Tianjin and Beijing.”

Aldo first performed in Beijing twenty-five years ago with his percussion ensemble, REPERCUSSION. “We were apparently one of the first Western groups to perform there and, at that time, we had the open opportunity to walk on the Great Wall, stroll freely in Tiananmen Square and tour the entire Forbidden City without any waiting” he describes. “The streets of Beijing were densely crowded with slow moving bicycles and only a few cars. Today this has all changed drastically and the traffic jams of Beijing make Los Angeles’ famed traffic challenges seem like a piece of cake!”

“In Tianjin, I gave performances and joined forces with some well known Asian artists Zou Wengao (Shanghai), Akira Jimbo (Japan), Michael Taylor (Chicago), Mr. Li (Tianjin) Yang Zeng, (Metal drummer from Beijing), Izumi (Jazz drummer in Beijing), Ding Lin (Rock drummer from Taiwan),” continues Aldo. “There were some 300 students and 100 teachers from around the country taking daily classes and attending the daily concerts. We performed a KoSA “signature” grand finale concert on the last evening, an exciting experience which left the huge audience cheering for more.”

In Beijing, Aldo also participated in the National Drum Competition and was able to meet with some of China’s other great artists: Luyufei (one of China’s national TV drummers) and Liu Gang (Percussionist with the Beijing Symphony Orchestra and Beijing Conservatory instructor). In addition, Aldo was invited to “sit in” with master keyboardist, Hong Kong’s Kenny Chengdu.

“I had the musical time of my life playing with such great world class musicians in Beijing,” exclaimed Aldo. “Plans are already in place to return to China next year and continue to develop and expand the KoSA CHINA experience. For me specifically, and for our entire KoSA Team, it remains fascinating to witness the continued and rapid development process of our Chinese friends. Their fervent quest for expanding their pursuit of musical education and their continued excitement around live performance is impressive.

KoSA would like to thank 9 Beats, Evans, Sabian, and LP for continued presence and support of KoSA CHINA.

KoSA China (1st Edition)

Montreal, July 27, 2010 – KoSA Music founder Aldo Mazza has just returned from a trip to Tianjian and Beijing, China, where he served as a special instructor to one of China’s most prominent music academy’s growing percussion program.

“China is aggressively pursuing music education,” states Mazza. “This particular academy has 40 locations throughout the nation of China. The program I was asked to present at was a one week intensive workshop for both students and the academy’s faculty.”

Mazza presented master classes on drum set and djembe, as well as performed on drums, djembe and Latin Percussion instruments.

“I found the students and faculty to be extremely enthusiastic about learning the techniques and nuances of other culture’s drumming styles. These people are on a mission to be the best they can be at everything, and this includes their knowledge and performance ability with the music and techniques of other cultures, specifically, rock, jazz, fusion, Afro-Cuban, African, Latin and world music.”

About Aldo Mazza: Aldo Mazza is Founder and Artistic Director of KoSA Music, and a member of the internationally acclaimed percussion ensemble, Repercussion. He is an internationally recognized drummer, percussionist, recording artist and clinician/educator. He has recorded with such artists as Celine Deion, Jon Bon Jovi, Nikki Yanofsky and Aldo Nova; and has performed live with such artists as James Brown, Chris De Burgh and Oliver Jones.

About KoSA Music: In 1995, a group of like-minded individuals began the groundwork for the KoSA experience, creating from scratch: the faculty, the identification of facilities, the course structure and events for an expanded educational and experiential experience. KoSA believes music is the only universal language, transcending all social, economic, cultural and political boundaries. Within every KoSA project, the core philosophy is that with the sharing of music, the world works better; much better. All who experience a KoSA event have found that the “sharing” that occurs, is multi-faceted–not only do KoSA participants learn from the Masters of their craft, but the Masters learn from the participants and from each other. KoSA has headquarters in Montreal, Canada, and presents clinics, festivals and workshops worldwide.

Mazza’s clinic presentations in China are sponsored by LP, Sabian and Evans.

科萨-中国 (第二篇)
科萨创始人及艺术总监再访中国

kosa-china-tiny

蒙特利尔, 2011 年九月讯: 八月,科萨创始人及艺术总监阿尔多.马札先生再次 在中国作教学和表演之行。由他的终身伴也是科萨的同创人菊兰.科薇寺.马札女士协同,阿尔多与中国的九拍音乐学院合作创建了一个科萨-中国教学班。九拍音乐 学院是一所在中国各地拥有65个分校的学院。

阿尔多介绍说:“这是我们的第三次中国之行。每次从中国回到北美,我们都感到激情万分,为在中国的经历而感动。我们已被邀请以后每年去那举办鼓乐和打击乐的教学班,同时在北京和天津作表演。”

阿尔多曾在25年前带着他的打击乐队Repercussion第一次去中国表演。他说:“我们显然是最早访问中国的西方乐队之一。那时我们无须排队就可漫步长城,天安门广场和整个故宫。在北京的街道上,缓缓而行的自行车挤满了道路,很少看到小轿车。今天那儿的变化巨大。北京的塞车现象可令人觉得洛杉叽的塞车只如小菜以碟。”

阿尔多说:“我们在天津作了演出,还与亚洲的一些名星音乐家同台演出。他们包括Zou Wengao (上海), Akira Jimbo (日本), Michael Taylor (美国芝加哥), Li 先生 (天津), Yang Zeng (北京金属乐鼓手), Izumi (北京爵士乐鼓手), Ding Lin (天津 摇滚乐鼓手)。约有300名学生和100名教师参加了我们全日教学和演出班。我们在结业晚会上表演了一组科萨的明星节目,得到了观众的热烈喝彩,令人激动。

在北京,阿尔多还参加了全国鼓乐比赛,并有机会认识一些出色的中国艺术家,如Lu Yufi (中国电视台鼓乐表演艺术家) 和 Liu Gang (北京交响乐团打击乐手和北京 音乐学院的 指挥家)。同时,阿尔多应邀参加了香港电子琴大师 Kenny Chengdu 的合奏。

阿尔多说:“在我的音乐生涯里能在北京和那些世界级音乐家合作可谓有幸。我已计划2012年重返中国,进一步推动和发展在那儿的合作。我及科萨的同仁都为中国朋友在音乐领域里不断取得快速发展和进步感到激奋,和充满希望。他们在推动音乐教育和举办现场音乐会方面的执着精神令人钦佩。

科萨谨此感谢九拍音乐学院,Evans, Sabian 及LP 公司对科萨在中国的活动的参 与和帮助。

SO MANY SMILES AT KOSA

充满微笑的科萨
(记科萨十六期夏令营)
作者:呢尔-佩尔逖

近20年前我与阿尔多 -马札在蒙特利尔的一次音乐会上邂逅。继而我们一直保持联 系。在90年代初,阿尔多邀请我加入他的四重名星打击乐队(Repercussion)在多伦多举行的一次音乐会。我为他们的高超技艺感到惊讶和欣慰。因而我们商讨要合作搞一个打击乐的项目。虽然项目一直未启动,阿尔多邀请我随时参加他在美国佛蒙特州举办的打击乐夏令营教学。终于在2011年7月,一切条件具备,我接受他的邀请。我非常高兴我这次能接受他的邀请。这次在佛蒙特州卡塞墩科萨16夏令营的经历给我一生留下了闪光的一页 — 一个多么令人高兴的地方!

我在那遇到的没一个人都很友好和热心,都为来到夏令营而高兴。当阿尔多和我给近100营员讲话时,每一个人都显得积极,开心,和令人兴奋。在他们当中我见到的是充满了微笑。当然,这都是因为我们享有同一种激情 –同为鼓乐的第兄。我们 都被这一重关系激励和推动。阿尔多和我跟大家谈到我们个人经历的好多方面,还回答了他们很多有趣的问题。我继而跟阿尔多调侃说:“我们是不是该敲鼓啦?”他笑着说:“是的。但有一件事我们得先做一下。”接着他叫来了他的太太菊兰,献给我一面终身成就匾。上面的话语让我深深感激,甚至可说是让我震动。真是这样的。

然后,我站回到一组小号鼓乐器,和其他教师一起演奏了一曲“教授鼓乐合奏。”阿尔多执非洲鼓(他在所有的乐器上都认人不可置信地出色),梅默-阿塞维多执铃, 马可斯-桑多思执墩鼓和铃,麦克-温布尔理执非洲鼓。接着交换位子,我打非洲 鼓。我不专业非洲鼓,但很感兴趣。

在那场充满喜欣的各种乐器大演奏的最后,阿尔多担当作总结的角色,我们走到一起互相玩笑。此刻大家放声欢笑,带着共享时光的喜悦。我的微笑伴随着我回到家,一直温暖着我。

科萨音乐学校简介:在一九九五年,几个情趣相投的人一起组建科萨。他们从零开始选教师,找校址和组织设备设计课程,并组织实践性教学活动。科萨相信,音乐是唯一的世界语言,她跨越社会、经济、文化、政治的界线。科萨的每一个教学项目,其核心哲学都是通过共享音乐让世界变得更美好。经历过科萨活动的人都会发现,“共享”是多向性的,包括教学中的学生向专家学、专家向学生学、专家向专家学。科萨的总部在加拿大的蒙特利尔。它也在世界各地举办指导班、音乐节、及各类教学活动。

美国佛蒙特州卡塞屯讯:科萨国际打击乐培训班、鼓乐训练营及音乐节于七月三十一日(星期六)在盛大的教师决赛音乐会的高潮声中结束。科萨的创始人阿尔多-马札先生总结说:“我们与我们极可爱的观众共享了一个极美好的时刻。当你得到了那么多超群的艺术家同台演出,所产生的艺术效果无疑是令人震撼和独特的。”

阿尔多-马札先生还说:“我们这是连续第十五届举办这个培训班。这次活动 又进一步增强了科萨的核心理念,即当你不仅有机会与人一起练习和演出,而且吸收新技巧、新概念、新观察时,共享音乐便得到了最好的体现。这种共享存在于学生与教师、教师与教师之间,也自然地存在于学生、教师与每场音乐晚会的听众之间。”
