| The annual Kimberley International Oldtime Accordion Championships take place from July 5th to 10th at Kimberley in the south-eastern of British Columbia. The contests focus on competitors’ ability to play in a truly distinctive ‘Old Time’ style. For the purposes of the competition, ‘Old Time’ accordion music refers to the manner and style of playing, not the selection itself or its ethnic origin. Styles may include music used for dancing the Polka, Waltz and Schottische as used in Western Canadian communities during the past century. Competitors are judged on a combination of the technical merit and the danceability of their playing. The competition is open to accordionists from any nation. The festival also includes accordion and dance workshops, jam sessions, pancake breakfasts and barbecue. Evening events include: July 5th - concert, details TBA, followed by a dance with The Softones 6th – concert featuring Michael Bridge; dance with the Smilin’ Scandinavians 7th – ‘Spaghetti Night’ concert: Cory Pesaturo, Alex Meixner; dance - Alex Meixner 8th – dance featuring the Best of the Platzl Jams 9th – ‘Friday Night at the Movies’ concert: Spokane Accordion Ensemble; dance to the music of Northwind 10th - Massed Band concert; dance to the music of Alex Meixner For further information email: info@kiotac.ca |
