Canterbury Accordion Association 60th Anniversary Celebrations - New Zealandby Kim Waddell |
 |
  After many months of planning the Canterbury Accordion Association (CAA) celebrated their 60th Birthday in Christchurch, New Zealand on July 23rd, 2022.The busy day started with a Meet and Greet at the Salvation Army City Corps in Christchurch with representatives from Auckland from the New Zealand Accordion Association, Anthony Schultz from Melbourne, Australia (Vice-President of the Australian Society of Accordionists), past members and current members from Wellington and around the South Island. This was a relaxed time to catch up with each other and to also view the memorabilia that was on display (picture above left). The memorabilia had been put together by members of the CAA committee and included information and photographs on past concerts, competitions, the CAA’s involvement in the Christchurch Santa Parade, the Christchurch Accordion Orchestra and a brief history of the CAA. A large audience attended the afternoon concert, which featured the Christchurch Accordion Orchestra (conducted by David Thorne - pictured below) who opened the show and provided segments of entertainment throughout the whole concert.
