‘14 Years Ago’: 2nd European Accordion Orchestra Festival Announced

The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending September 1st 2000 included the announcement of the second European Accordion Orchestra Festival, held annually in Prague, Czech Republic. This large scale festival – a showcase for accordion orchestras - involves a great deal of logistical planning and expense, and credit must go to its organisers.

The second European Accordion Orchestra Festival will take place from March 22nd to 25th 2002 in Prague, Czech Republic (the first festival was held this year). The international jury (including Czech composer Jindøich Feld, Walter Maurer - Austria, Mirco Patarini and Stefan Hippe - Germany) agreed that all of the 40 participating orchestras from 12 European countries had a very high musical standard. The audience was particularly fascinated by the 36 musicians from Moldova due to their musical talent and discipline, which was mentioned by critics on Czech television.
