Professor Zorica Karakutovska, President of the Macedonian Association of Accordionists, was guest, live on the programs of the National TV stations. She and her youngest students were guests on the popular show "Five plus", an educational program for children. With the host Mina and the dog Petko as moderator, the show provides a lot of useful information from different fields with very interesting moments. The episode was an excellent presentation of the accordion and a great start to our association’s promotion campaign of World Accordion Day. On May 6th, accordion students from the SMBSC ‘Ilija Nikolovski-Luj‘ Skopje and the Faculty of Music Skopje, class of Prof. Zorica Karakutovska, performed an amazing concert at the City Museum of Skopje in honour of the celebration of the World Accordion Day.

High quality performances, solo, duet, trio and ensembles, newly original works including 2 works from Macedonian composer Elizabeta Ilievska with various instrumentation were very well received by the large audience.
