 I have just returned from a weeklong summer accordion music school in Zalec, Slovenia. There were about 40 students, with ages ranging from 11 to 26, and including some very fine players. This was a first for Slovenia and was brilliantly organised by accordion teacher and conductor, Andreja Turnsek.The days were taken up by individual tutoring from top European accordionists and teachers with a three-hour rehearsal at the end of the day, usually from 6pm until 9pm. If there was a concert planned that evening, the practice was from 5-8pm. The final concert was held in a lovely Baroque concert hall in the neighbouring town of Celje on the Saturday evening, involving three conductors, many solo items, and a very fine accordion quartet. The concert lasted about 80 minutes, without an interval. I was very happy to see they have recorded some of my compositions on CD in Slovenia and also, to see how many of my titles were in their library, purchased from Deffner Music Publications, USA.
