Im Anhang finden Sie einen Artikel von Rosie Pentreath über die Unterstützung der Musik durch Königin Elizabeth II.

Coupe Mondiale in Zofingen vom 4. bis 9. Oktober 2022."Auch wenn der verheerende Krieg in der Ukraine und Covid noch immer Probleme bereiten, ist dieser zweite "Live-Coupe Mondiale" mit Live-Jury und -Wettkämpfern bei den Lehrern und Teilnehmern offensichtlich sehr beliebt. Darüber hinaus hat die CIA 60 Delegiertenanmeldungen von 29 nationalen Mitgliedern für den internationalen CIA-Kongress erhalten, wobei viele Delegierte auch als Juroren für die Coupe Mondiale Akkordeon-Weltmeisterschaften teilnehmen. CIA-Präsident Mirco Patarini schreibt: "Wir freuen uns sehr über die große Anzahl von Teilnehmern, Delegierten und Jurymitgliedern für den 75. Wir werden eine großartige Veranstaltung mit echter Musik in einer Live-Situation erleben. Musik ist eine Kunst, die "hier und jetzt" ist, es gibt nichts Emotionaleres für den Künstler und das Publikum als ein Konzert in einem schönen Saal!"
