Giant accordion festival in Hamburg Germany. Starting next week. I think the accordionists have more fun in Europe, and I’m here stuck in the snow. Well this is definitely an event I would like to go to!
(Translated from the website:)
Where else than in the port city of Hamburg should be the “Schiffer Piano” and his music just devote a whole festival? Venue of the Reeperbahn is no accident, however: For the international accordion scene, cheeky and very lively – hardly a musical genre in which they had not successfully taken root. Thus, the neighborhood festival “accordion,” the performance show that approximately 200 years old invention that has conquered the whole of the folklore of Europe and large parts of South America: Of course the “classics” are the instrument family to experience – that of the Argentine tango bandoneon, the accordion alpine folk music, the musette, the French dance music of the Viennese Quetschn Heurigenklänge. But there is no lack of the “young savages,” which is unprecedented advance into sound ground – in short, as everything turn, has to give away what joy of playing the accordion and Tanzwut.
