World Accordion Day, 6th May 2019 Activities and Reportsby Harley Jones |
The World Accordion Day website is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by next Thursday. The Finnish TV Channel AlfaTV program about World Accordion Day video link is: http://www.permanto.fi/fi/web/alfatv/player/vod?assetId=14641936 CIA Secretary General Kimmo Mattila writes: "The program ”Kansan kesken” means ”With People” or ”The People Together”. It is broadcasted every Monday live. In this week it was devoted for the accordion. The program was a popular view to the accordion’s versatility and different aspects. Unfortunately all interviews are only in Finnish, but I think everybody can find a good and positive atmosphere of the people in TV studio. During two hours program there were also several questions from the TV public (by SMS or phone calls) and we tried to reply them live immediately. We presented the CIA and international activities, the history of the accordion (190th anniversary) and of course future events nationally and internationally. I hope that we can do this next year again - including international video clips from several countries." 15 videos of the World Accordion Day weekend and Palmer Festival hosted by the World of Accordions Museum is on the USA News site. |
