Vorwort:

Accordion Worldwide bietet Akkordeonveranstaltungen, -spielern, und –organisationen kostenlose globale Werbung in 7 verschiedenen Sprachen. Wir berichten über große und kleine Events, wo auch immer sie geschehen. Dieser Service wird seit 10 Jahren ununterbrochen zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir wissen, dass es viele Veranstaltungen gab, über die wir nicht berichten konnten, da die Organisatoren, Lehrer oder Performer die Berichte nicht rechtzeitig zugesandt haben. Bitte lassen Sie dies nicht geschehen. Es benötigt ein paar Minuten ihrer Zeit, dennoch ist die Werbung buchstäblich weltweit.

The TASC (Traditional Arts Support in the Community), based in Llandinam in mid-Wales, commissioned accordionists John Kirkpatrick and Karen Tweed to write and perform music for a set of new ceilidh dances. The music and dances, titled ‘The Severn Suite’ were premiered on June 10th in the Welsh town of Llandinam. A team of sixteen dancers from mid-Wales and Shropshire gave a magnificent display, and the music was performed by John Kirkpatrick – 3-row diatonic accordion, Karen Tweed – piano accordion, and fiddle player Nick Passmore.

John Kirkpatrick is planning to release, in due course, a CD of the music, and a book with the dance instructions, the tunes, and band arrangements.

Tag der Harmonika, Graz- Austria

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the ‘1. Grazer Harmonicaclub ACCORDEANA’, this year’s "Tag der Harmonika" was held on June 25th in the Styrian capital of Graz, Austria. The competition included categories for accordion soloists, duos, orchestras, ensembles and chamber music, as well as for the ‘Steirische Harmonika"’(Styrian Harmonica), which has become very popular recently. Compared to previous competitions it can be said that the interest in the instrument and also the level of performance are constantly growing.

The possibility to study the accordion at all major conservatories and universities of music as well as the work of the newly formed executive committee of Austrian Confederation of Accordionists HVÖ finally show very positive results. The photo shows Vice-President Werner Weibert during his speech while the accordion ensemble ‘Klavitoniker’, from Salzburg (where the CIA Coupe Mondiale will be held in 2014), is preparing for their performance.
