Una parte clave de este evento es el sitio web del Día Mundial del Acordeón. A cada asociación, grupo, orquesta, intérprete y maestro, se le pide que apoye activamente este evento alentando que se realicen este día actividades de acordeón nacional y local en su país o el fin de semana a ambos lados del Día del Acordeón, si eso fuera más conveniente. Todos pueden registrar su actividad del Día Mundial del Acordeón en el sitio web y luego enviar un informe de su evento para ese sitio web. Ningún evento es demasiado grande o demasiado pequeño. TODOS los eventos de acordeón que celebran el Día Mundial del Acordeón (World Accordion Day) son bienvenidos. Esta es una promoción de la CIA para el acordeón en el que todos los entusiastas del acordeón pueden participar y ayudar a unir nuestro mundo de acordeón y promover el acordeón. |
