 Accordionists of all ages took part in the annual concert of the accordion program at the Hofer Symphoniker Musikschule in Hof, Germany, where the program is under the direction of Günther Zeilinger.Opening with Mozart's ‘Magic Flute Overture’, the Akkordeon Orchestra Hof began the concert that featured soloists, duos, ensembles and orchestras. The youngest soloist was 5-year-old Silvan Amann, a participant in the mini accordion program, who delighted the audience with his memorized performance. The accordion program features several accordion orchestras and ensembles including the Akkordeonorchester Hof (Günther Zeilinger, director), the Youth Accordion Orchestra (Florian Weichert, director), the Hobby Accordion Orchestra (Bernd Rosenberger, director) and the School Accordion Orchestra (Delia Zeilinger, director) and the Youth Quintet (Eva Walter, director). Featuring a diverse range of repertoire from classics, transcriptions and pop arrangements, orchestra member Adrian Stieglitz's new arrangement of Michael Jackson works titled 'Number Ones' was a tremendous success, complete with a lighting display and power point visual presentation from the orchestra's recent tour to the United States for the 60th CIA Coupe Mondiale. Adrian and fellow orchestra member Julian Feulner arranged 'You Dance' from the popular Polish accordion group, the Motion Trio for the Quintet II, which gave its debut performance of the work during the concert. Part of the Hof Symphony Music School directed by Ingrid Schrader, the accordion program spans all generations and levels of accordion activities, ensuring that not only the top level of accordionists are inspired to strive for musical excellence, but, that even the most junior pre-school students in the Mini-Akkordeon program have the opportunity to embark on a musical adventure.
