Este año, en las mismas circunstancias que el año pasado, bajo máscaras. El nuevo edificio de la Filarmónica ofrece un lugar de alta calidad que los artistas aprovecharon al máximo. La sala estuvo ocupada por un público muy entusiasta que reaccionó con verdadera emoción y premió a los músicos con merecidos aplausos. El anfitrión del evento fue el popular presentador de televisión macedonio Ognen Janeski. El Concierto de Gala WAD en los últimos años se ha convertido en un importante y prestigioso evento cultural y artístico en el país y también en el exterior, gracias a que el concierto es retransmitido a nivel mundial por una emisora de Televisión Nacional.

Ben de Souza (imagen a la izquierda) se unirá a la Sociedad Coral del Festival de Birmingham (imagen de arriba) para interpretar la "Petite Messe Solennelle" de Rossini en el Ruddock Center, King Edward's School en Birmingham, Inglaterra, el 30 de octubre a las 7:30 p. M. Esta obra fue originalmente compuesta para coro con acompañamiento de piano y armonio, pero cada vez más la parte de armonio se toca en el acordeón. “Ben de Souza está encantado de haber sido nombrado profesor de acordeón en Salisbury Cathedral School y The Purcell School, a partir de septiembre de 2021. Es una noticia muy emocionante para la escena del acordeón del Reino Unido que estas dos prestigiosas instituciones estén ofreciendo a los estudiantes la oportunidad de estudiar acordeón. Estos roles ven a Ben enseñando sistemas de piano bajo estándar y bajo libre de botones, además de ofrecer algo de entrenamiento en música de cámara. Esperamos que se conviertan en conexiones establecidas y duraderas y que el acordeón siga siendo parte de las ofertas de las escuelas durante los próximos años ".
