International Accordion Festival and Competition - Irelandby Yvonne Chilton, Secretary Irish Acc. Assoc. |
| The IAA (Irish Accordion Association) wants to send an invitation to all accordionists and supporters from all countries to our very special event. To celebrate the 40th year of the All-Ireland Accordion Festival, the Irish Accordion Association are holding an International Accordion Festival and Competition for soloists/ensembles/orchestras of all ages, standards and genres of music over the weekend of April 15th to 17th 2011. Already we have special guests including The St. Petersburg Youth Accordion Orchestra (artistic director and conductor: Vladimir S. Iljenkov), and the ‘Arts Across Borders’ Ensemble (featuring lots of accordions, harps, flutes, bagpipes and percussion in an exciting dynamic mix) performing newly commissioned works from Irish composers. This will be an exciting event featuring traditional Irish music, dancing and entertainment. You will be sure of a warm Irish welcome and leave with some great memories. We are currently investigating several venues for this event. This will be decided very shortly and a special website will be set up with all the details of the festival and competition. Please look out for our next communication with this information in the next few weeks. |
