International Accordion Festival, Vienna – Austria

13. Vienna Accordion Festival posterThe Akkordeon Festival is as much more about an idea and an attitude as it is about an actual instrument. It pushes forward the idea of music, culture and art as a "place", where the rules and limitations of everyday life do not apply, where people exchange ideas and points of view free of ideological and geographical borders, where humanity and respect are given free reign.

The opening concert on Saturday 25th is Otto Lechner & Die Winhunde which is a loose co-operation of several Vienna based musicians/artists of international renown. These 9 musicians reflecting these ideas in their work and with a spontaneous group-composition!
