Hello,
My name is Sergej Tchirkov and I am the Coordinator of the East European News for Accordion and all Bellows Instruments. The term "accordion" is used throughout this site as a generic term that applies to ALL free-reed bellows instruments. We wish to support and promote the merits of them all.

This site is a part of Accordion Worldwide - the largest accordion resource on the Web, and contains all the vital information for anyone, who is interested in news on the activities of accordionists both at home in Eastern Europe (including Russia) and also wherever in the world they may travel. I hope you enjoy the new design of this site, which has been created by Alexander Chirkov, who is also responsible for all the technical support. He has been working hard to make the site easily accessible, as we would like you to spend a lot of time in our company because you want to, not because you have to.

Now, you'd like to get the latest news headlines delivered directly to your mailbox, wouldn't you? Well, your wishes can come true, with our quick and easy NEW service,- the mailing list. All you have to do is subscribe by sending us your e-mail address using the form provided! This new service is provided for you, FREE of charge!!

The News attracts the largest accordion readership. Appear before the specialised readership of the East European News by having your own banner ad. in the news pages, that you can link to your internet site. Take advantage of this targeted audience - know that your advertising banner is being seen by people who are genuinely interested!

I ask all accordion associations, teachers, performers and orchestra leaders in Eastern Europe and Russia to send their news to me so I may publicise their activities and events. Please send me the news by E-mail. Pictures are appreciated too. Remember, that each time your news item is included in our news pages, we list you as a contributor with a link directly to your site.

I hope that you will support this free news service and together we can make a valuable contribution to the life of the accordionist.

With friendly greetings,
Sergej Tchirkov
