Accordion International Prize, Alcobaça - Portugalby Aníbal Freire |
 Aníbal Freire, President of the Alcobaça Accordion Association, writes:The 15th Accordion National Trophy and the 1st edition of the Accordion International Prize ‘Cidade de Alcobaça’ were a huge success, attracting young players from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Serbia (Russia and Poland entrants were unable to come) for the competitions of this noble, erudite and, at same time, popular instrument. Once again, Alcobaça proved conclusively to be at the forefront of the best of music, particularly accordion, being able to call to these contests such a large number of participants: nationally, it was the most competitive of all time and internationally, it reached a very close level to the best international prizes around the world, not only regarding the number of competitors but also in which concerns their very highest artistic level. As always, the Associação De Acordeão De Alcobaça committed itself to placing Portugal and Alcobaça names in the memory of all who have visited us and participated in these events. Alcobaça and the accordion are holding hands now for 15 years; the world of the accordion will surely be grateful, always to the end, to Alcobaça – the Land of Passion.
