| The Santa Maria Accordion Band, the only one of its kind in Malta, was formed in 1992. A unique ensemble, The Santa Maria Accordion Band is led by one of the foremost accordion teachers and band directors, Marthese Busuttil Cassar, L.B.C.A. Each of the seventeen band members play a variety of acoustic songs from classical, tango, folk, country, and popular music. Together as a band, they play at celebrations, community events, festivals, church services, and national events. The main goal of the orchestra is to share enjoyment of all the players and audience, while promoting this beautiful instrument, the accordion. Accordion music is one of the most popular forms of live music for events. An accordion band has a special sound all unto its own that creates a feeling no other band can. Furthermore, Raymond Bodell, Principal BCA (UK - picture with orchestra below) is a regular visitor twice yearly to Malta as he conducts the Maltese BCA - British College of Accordionists examinations. We are preparing some information for World Accordion Day 2011, to be listed. For further information email: josephpgrima@gmail.com |
