| The international accordion ensemble known as Accordion Tribe, makes their sixth tour of Europe in July 2008 with four concerts. A 2009 European tour is also confirmed for April. The current line-up of Accordion Tribe is: Bratko Bibic (Slovenia), Amy Denio (USA), Maria Kalaniemi (Finland), Guy Klucevsek (USA), and Otto Lechner (Austria). Tour dates: July 24th – Zeltival, Karlsruhe, Germany July 25th – Kulturzelt, Kassel, Germany July 26th - Hafensommer, Wurzburg, Germany July 27th - Sfinks, Bochoet, Belgium Lars Hollmer has had to pull out of the July 2008 due to illness, and will be replaced by Amy Denio, from Seattle, USA. In May 1996, five of the world’s most innovative contemporary accordionists converged in Europe for a three-week tour. Each of these players is recognized in classical, jazz, folk or avant-garde music circles for their playing skills, compositional ability, and an unquenchable thirst for adventure. Individually, they are uncompromising and driven by a deep passion for breaking down musical barriers. Collectively, they make the challenge to integrate these forces into a whole, of which the combined energy is greater than the sum of its parts. Their program features solos and combinations, compositions and collaborations from individual and collective group members. Accordion Tribe released a DVD, ‘Music Travels’, in 2005.
