The Akkordeonale sees itself as a tribute to a much-loved but often underestimated instrument. Here, the accordion presents itself with all its charm, temperament and esprit as a soloist or portable orchestra on a strap. This year, Dutchman Servais Haanen once again brings together musicians from a wide variety of countries to create a surprising ensemble mix across all styles. The programme includes island sounds from wild Sardinia with organetto and launeddas, classical-contemporary treasures, Scottish high-speed folk, refreshing vocals to accordion from all directions and Dutch sound aesthetics, unconventional cello and a moderator with cult status. A talent for improvisation, spontaneity and the fun of performing together combine the musical richness of the individuals in the ensemble to create something new and unprecedented.
