The Santa Maria Accordion Band of Attard are, for the first time, organising an Easter Accordion Festival.
The Santa Maria Accordion band’s repertoire varies from classical to folkloristic music to more modern music. The orchestra’s members range from youths to adults who total to around 18 members, the majority of whom are accordionists. Others include a percussionist, drummer, bassist and keyboard player.
The aim of this festival is to engage audiences in a lively, harmonious atmosphere by the considerably rare but exceptional sound of the accordion.
The festival will be held today and tomorrow at 7pm at Fatima parish hall in Guardamangia. Whoever is interested in participating, should send an e-mail to Marthese Busuttil Cassar on mtbusuttil@yahoo.com or call on 7925 9508.
