 World Accordion Day, celebrated annually on May 6th, draws nearer. Accordions Worldwide needs to hear from those of you who are organizing concerts and other events on or near to May 6th so that we can list and promote them for you – free, of course!On May 6th 1829 Cyril Damian (also spelt Cyrillius Demien) patented his first accordion design in Vienna, Austria. In recent times the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) has designated May 6th as World Accordion Day, with the intention of encouraging the promotion of accordion events around the world and also enhancing the public’s perception of the accordion. Please let Accordions Worldwide know what accordion events are taking place near you to celebrate World Accordion Day. You do this by Registering your activity on the World Accordion Day website. A new event for 2012 is a live streaming 24 Hour Celebration of the Accordion, similar to the TV coverage of New Years Eve, whereby celebrations are viewed on an ongoing basis as the time zones elapse around the world. The production will be available for viewing live throughout the day with 24 separate hours of archived video coverage which will be available for viewing anytime after the event. For further information email CIA Music Committee member Grayson Masefield. Watch it live from this page on the 6th May. The exact schedule will be finalised and published in a few days on this page. Start Time will be 7am Paris Time (GMT+1). |
