 |
 Thousands of accordions will be heard at the 10th World Music Festival in Innsbruck, Austria, May 13th to 16th. Some 10,000 accordion friends, about 250 orchestras and ensembles from 15 nations are expected at one of the world’s greatest accordion competitions at the international convention centre Congress Innsbruck, and other adjoining stages.The international competition includes different categories such as accordion orchestras and ensembles, chamber music-accordion, chamber music-classic with at least one accordion, diatonic accordion ensembles, harp orchestras and ensembles, folk ensembles and possibly mixed instrumentation with at least one accordion and senior hobby accordion (orchestras and ensembles). The participating groups are adults, youth (max. age 21), children (max. age 16), ensemble amateurs and professionals, all of them contesting on different levels such as concert, elementary, advanced and intermediate. The non-competitive performances will concern hobby orchestras. Apart of the various competitions during day time, there will be fantastic concerts in the evenings, filling the halls of Congress Innsbruck with tuneful clouds never heard before. On Sunday May 16th the final award ceremony will take place at Innsbruck’s Olympic Hall – an incomparable mood, a rousing mixture of joy and music is guaranteed. Since 1983 the German Harmonica Association DHV are organizing the World Music Festival triennially at Innsbruck, the capital of one of the world’s most beautiful touristic destinations, the Tyrol.
