‘14 Years Ago’ – Austrian Accordion Orchestra Goes Down Under

The Accordions Worldwide news for May 29th 1988 reported that an accordion orchestra from Austria was making preparations to visit the other side of the world, with concerts planned for New Zealand, Fiji, and Australia. How exciting must that have been for those concerned?

One of the great benefits of playing the accordion is its sociability, with international travel a possibility for some. This promised to be a most enjoyable and unforgettable experience for all involved – and all due to playing the accordion!
