Carrefour Mondial de l'Accordéon, Quebec – Canadaby Rob Howard |
 |
 The 25th Carrefour Mondial de l'Accordéon took place from August 29th to September 2nd in Montmagny, Quebec. The sun shone, large numbers attended, and the event was like a reunion of accordion friends from many places. The festival was visited by spectators from as far away as Estonia!There was a festive atmosphere, public places were crowded, and on some occasions it was necessary to add extra seating for indoor concerts. Two concerts were held, for the first time, at the Accordion Museum. The audiences responded enthusiastically to the quality and the great variety of music on offer. Artistes included international stars such as Jérôme Richard (France), Pietro Adragna (Italy), the highly accomplished Paris Moscou Duo (picture left, France), concertina virtuoso Alistair Anderson (England), Gary Blair (Scotland), Hector Del Curto Trio (Argentina), Michèle Boudet and Diego Serrano (France), Vladimir Dennissenkov (Russia), diatonic accordion wizard Roberto Lucanero (Italy) and the Irish traditional music trio John Whelan, Haley Richardson and Paddy Keenan (Ireland/USA). Canadian guests were well represented by Accordeons, Brabec et Rumpel, Marie-Jeanne Brousseau and Jérémie Roy, Clément Bérubé, Alexandre B. Caron, Club Carrefour, Keven Desrosiers, and many more. The Carrefour Mondial de l’Accordeon is a non-profit organization whose mission it is to showcase the accordion in its many forms and across genres.
