  The Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA), President Mirco Patarini, Secretary General Kimmo Mattila, held their 143rd General Assembly of Delegates Winter Congress in Prague, Czech Republic from Friday 28 February to Sunday 1st March. The Winter Congress was hosted by the CIA Voting Member The Prague Conservatory of Music under the direction of Jirí Lukeš. Program of Events: 2020Winter.pdfIn addition to the CIA General Assembly meetings, Executive and Music Committee meetings, the three day event included events such as concerts, educational events and social engagements. A highlight was a concert dedicated to the memory of Milan Bláha and Václav Trojan at which the guest of honors included Mrs. Bláha and Václav Trojan Junior. In addition, another concert featured Czech Accordion Music, a visit to the Czech Music of Music, displays by Czech music companies Harmonikas, Delicia and Techgal and an evening river cruise and dinner hosted by the Czech Accordion Association. During the General Assembly meetings, many items of business were conducted including organization for the upcoming Coupe Mondiale festivals and Winter Congress meetings and other business items. Five new voting members were welcomed to the CIA: * Bosnia and Herzegovina - Association of Artists (Bijeljina); * Bulgaria - The Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts (Plovdiv); * France - Centre National et Internationale de Musique d'Accordéon (CNIMA J.Mornet); * South Korea - Korean Accordion Association * Slovenia- Association of Slovenian Accordionists (Starše). The position of CIA Ambassador (an Executive advisory role appointment from 2009) was transitioned to a full voting member of the Executive Committee. Kevin Friedrich who held the initial appointment was nominated by the Accordionists & Teachers Guild, International (ATG) and unanimously elected to continue his Ambassador position in this newly restructured role. Attracting more than 35 delegates from around the world, the three day event was a tremendous success, and many accolades were offered to the Czech CIA Voting Member The Prague Conservatory for their excellent organization and hospitality.
