The Carinthian Accordion Association (KAV) was founded in October 2002 to promote the accordion in Carinthia with all its facets and especially to support accordion students. The diverse activities of the KAV include not only summer accordion camps, seminars and workshops, competitions and festivals, but also projects by the Carinthian Accordion Orchestra KAO (picture above), to whose concerts international accordion soloists are often invited.

KAO and Kiddys provided good entertainment with a varied program. Maciej impressed with his mature interpretations of J.S. Bach's "Goldberg Variations", M. Bronner's "Insomnia" and P. Tabakiernik's "WAM-iations. MOZART”, where well-known works by Mozart for organ and flute clocks are quoted. |
