Hohner had sponsored two major concerts with the aim of "taking the accordion to the people". Both this concert and a similar one tomorrow night were in major venues where there would be lots of audience to hear popular accordion entertainment. |

Opening the concert was Aleksandar Kolovski (Macedonia). |
Thanks to China Accordion Association President Li Cong for the photos of the concert. |
