June is National Accordion Awareness Month - USAby Rita Davidson Barnea, Editor USA Accordion News |
 |
| Celebrate National Accordion Awareness Day this June to give the accordion its well deserved appreciation. This celebration has a specific purpose — to educate people about the accordion and acknowledge its contribution to music. The accordion entered into popular music in the 19th century, with many accordionists including five players: Pietro Frosini, brothers Count Guido Deiro and Pietro Deiro, Slovenian brothers Vilko Ovsenik and Slavko Avsenik, and Charles Magnante, becoming major influences during this period. Did you know that the accordion is the official instrument of San Francisco (USA) since 1990? Accordionist Tom Torriglia is responsible for making June “National Accordion Awareness Month,” and campaigned to make the accordion San Francisco’s official instrument. How to celebrate National Accordion Awareness Month? Consider attending a live or Zoom concert or festival, purchase an accordion album on streaming platforms, watch an accordion event on social media, treat yourself to an accordion and lessons, visit the New England Accordion Museum in Connecticut, A World of Accordions Museum in Wisconsin or other accordion museums in your area, read the AWW accordion news publications each week/month to learn about what is happening with accordionists around the world, join an accordion organization/club such as ATG or AAA or one of many groups around the country where you will meet interesting people who share a common love for the accordion. |
