Sound poetry with pressurised air and a draught
Innovative, exhilarating and refreshingly different - the Akkordeonale is a unique homage to a much-loved but often underestimated instrument.
Here the accordion shows itself with all its charm, temperament and esprit as a soloist or portable orchestra on a strap. Every year since 2009, Dutchman Servais Haanen has brought together musicians from a wide variety of countries to create a surprising ensemble mix across all styles. This year's programme: Island sounds from wild Sardinia with organetto and launeddas, classical-contemporary treasures, Scottish high-speed folk, refreshing vocals to accordion from all points of the compass and Dutch sound aesthetics, unconventional cello and a moderator with cult status. Pulsating alternations of solos and ensemble pieces and exciting interactions between the musicians are the centrepiece of every Akkordeonale.
As different as the personalities, cultural backgrounds and playing styles may be, the common language of music creates a lively understanding that doesn't care about boundaries and divisions. 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, something that has never been heard before.
A feast of sounds! Adrenalin and balm for the soul!
