Successful AATA Competitions and Festival – Australiaby Lionel Reekie |

 Picture above: AATA competition winners.The Australian Accordion Teachers Association (AATA) held its annual championship at the Five Dock RSL Club in Five Dock, Sydney, NSW, on May 28th, 2023. This years’ event marked the return of face to face competition following the pandemic, so for many of the younger contestants, it was their first opportunity to compete in a major contest. Each year this competition places special importance on giving young accordionists valuable competition experience. The youngest contestants were only 6 years of age, but there were a total of 21 different categories providing a variety of musical genres for all ages, from classical to ethnic, jazz to entertainment music and even duet classes. The Jury featured some of Australia’s most respected accordionists and their positive encouragement towards all of the participants created a really supportive atmosphere. The AATA joined forces with the Accordion Society of Australia (ASA) in a combined gala concert (see picture left) showcasing the tremendous versatility of our instrument with wonderful solo and ensemble performances to a large and very supportive audience. International performers and competitors are warmly invited to attend next year’s 2024 Australian International Accordion Championships and any enquiries can be forwarded to AATA president, Tatjana Marx at: tats64@gmail.com |
