Reykjavik Accordion Festival 2011 - Icelandby Harley Jones |
 |
| The Reykjavik Accordion Festival 2011 will be held on July 23rd and 24th at the Reykjavik City Museum. This year’s festival will include appearances by many of Iceland's best known accordionists, including Karl Jonatansson, at the Sunday afternoon concert at the Reykjavik City Museum. Smaller accordion events will be held around Reykjavik on Saturday 23rd. This festival is designed to provide an opportunity for accordion enthusiasts to meet their colleagues and present the accordion and accordion music to the public. Another goal is to offer as varied a program as possible so that people can see and hear this instrument played in as many different ways as possible. The accordion has been played in Iceland for generations and is an important part of the musical heritage of the nation. In recent years, the instrument’s popularity has increased as more people are learning to play and the instrument is used in contemporary and traditional music.
