  Accordionists & Teachers Guild, International (ATG) President Joseph Natoli announced this week: “I regretfully must communicate a message to you that I had hoped would not become a reality. However in spite of intense planning and never giving up hope that our spectacular 80th Anniversary Festival would still take place in Los Angeles this year from August 5th to 9th, the unfortunate downward pressures from around the globe are mandating that we cancel this wonderful event. With the decidedly international nature of our Festival this year, there are many groups and attendees who had planned to come and participate, but simply cannot for a variety of reasons because of Covid-19..... which collectively will make it impossible for our Los Angeles Festival to occur as anticipated. Therefore, in spite of great sadness in our hearts over this cancellation, there is an equal amount of hope and positive anticipation that you will join us next year at the Hyatt in the Lisle, Illinois area again for what we hope to be a recovery from this unfortunate year of the virus; with renewed best wishes for your safety, wellness, and bringing all our musical lives back to normal from July 20th to 25th, 2021. Please plan on being with us to make this a very special celebration of our collective recoveries and victory over the events of 2020”. |
