| The NordAccordion Festival 2019 will be held from August 8th to 13th in Voss Norway and is a combination of master classes, seminars and concerts organised by Geir Draugsvoll and Ida Løvli Hidle. The opening concert will feature a performance by Friedrich Lips (Russia - top left) at the Ole Bull Academy in Voss at 8pm. Lips has arranged countless pieces of classical and modern music for the accordion in such a way that the instrument can be expressed in an ideal manner. He is also a renowned professor at The Gnesin Institute Moscow teaching a large number of price winning students. Performances will also be given by Matti Rantanen (Finland – top middle) a tutor at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki and Jostein Stalheim (Norway- top right). Jostein Stalheim will premiere his piece “Langt av Garde” for solo accordion, which was written especially for NordAccordion 2019. Further performances throughout the festival will be given by Geir Draugsvoll, (accordion) and Mette Rasmussen (piano) on August 9th, at the Voss Church, Aleksander Nohr (baritone), Sigrid Vetleseter Bøe (soprano), Ida Løvli Hidle (accordion) on August 10th at Tre Brør, Geir Draugsvoll (accordion) and Hanzhi Wang on August 11th at the Stalheim Hotel, Accordion students from the Summer Course at Bakka Church on August 11th, Skadedyr (which includes accordionist Ida Løvli Hidl) at Voss kulturhus, Kultursalen on August 11th, and a lunchtime concert on August 12th with Hanzhi Wang and Karla Sorcic. Friedrich Lips will also hold a Masterclass during the festival, as will other performers at the event. A final closing concert will be held at the Ole Bull Academy on August 13th, which will include performances by the young students that took part in the week long event.
