 The seminar ‘Coupe Mondiale and the Development of Accordion’ in China was successfully held during December on 18th and 19th in Shanghai, with up to 50 people present. CAA President Ziqiang Zhang, Vice President Xiaoping Wang (and Secretary General), Prof Li Cong (picture right), Guoli Yang, Luping Bai and Ning Du, as well as 20 executive directors attended the forum. Presidents of accordion associations in Shandong, Hubei, Shanxi, Hebei, Guizhou, Yunnan, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Gansu provinces also attended. It was decided at the meeting that the 64th Shanghai Coupe Mondiale, which takes place from October 1st to 7th, should be given full support, and the CAA should take the opportunity of this event to further develop the accordion in China. Competition entries for the 2011 Coupe Mondiale close on August 20th. The following was agreed: 1) The year 2011 will be named “The Year of Chinese Accordion”. 2) A series of Coupe Mondiale-related events will be conducted throughout the country in order to promote the 64th Coupe Mondiale. There will also be other performances, solicited articles and local competitions to celebrate World Accordion Day and the 64th Coupe Mondiale. 3) Over 20 accordion teams from all over the country will be selected, and invited to perform accordion shows in various forms during the Coupe Mondiale. 4) Accordion teachers and students will be encouraged to watch and appreciate the competitions and concerts of the 64th Coupe Mondiale. Although the 64th Shanghai Coupe Mondiale will only last for five days, the CAA still hopes that it will have a huge influence in the whole country and over the whole of the year, in line with the goals of the CIA and the Coupe Mondiale. |
