 The 64th Coupe Mondiale will be held during Oct.1st – 6th in Shanghai. This is the first time that Coupe Mondiale has been hosted in China and in fact, its the first time in the whole Asia since the first Coupe Mondiale was held in France near a century ago. The launching ceremony is one of the most important parts prior to the Coupe Mondiale. The Accordion Performance Series was successfully held in Minhan District. Dean of College of Music from Shanghai Normal University (SHNU) & President of Chinese Accordion Association (CAA) Li Cong (picture right), associate professor of SHNU & Vice President of Shanghai Accordion Association Crystal Wang (picture right), Head of Youth Center in Minhang Niu Jing and other leaders have attended and watched the performances. This event was a joint participation by performers from the Children’s Palace of Huangpu, Pudong, Minhang and other districts of Shanghai and students from the College of Music SHNU as invited guests, providing a banquet of fine music for accordion fans to enjoy. Starting the ceremony, the song full of passion called “Paso Doble” made the children win the audience’s high praise due to their great skills and touching performance. The classical and unforgettable melody, the confident style as well as the confident smiles left a deep impression with all those present. During the break, the two young comperes gave a vivid accordion lesson by introducing the history, development, features and performing skills of the accordion. The atmosphere came to climax when the epilogue song “Everlasting Melody” was played. The audience swung with the melody, and the perfect interaction between the stage and the audience made the hall just like a dazzling accordion world. After the launching ceremony, the Accordion Performance Series of the 64th Coupe Mondiale, Shangahi will be held in three landmarks in Shanghai during October 2nd and 3rd. The venues are Xujiahui Central Square, Changfeng Stage and Pudong Hourglass Square. At that time, more than 1,300 people of nearly 30 accordion teams from Beijing, Shanghai, Liaoning, Hubei and other regions of China will get together in Shanghai and compete! September in Shanghai is the season of light breezes and the sweet fragrance of Osmanthus and this is the wonderful weather we hope for the whole of the 64th Coupe Mondiale 2011 competitions and the nine concerts of different styles being held during the event. Acrobat files of the concert posters are available for download: 2011Shanghai (2MB). Hi Resolution 2011ShanghaiHi (10MB).
