Accordions Aplenty at World Music Festival

Later this month, thousands of accordionists will head to Innsbruck, Austria for the 9th annual World Music Festival. This year’s festival focuses on the accordion and features performances from over 300 accordion orchestras and ensembles from around the world. Unfortunately, the only information I could find was either in German or badly-translated English (“Innsbruck will be overflowed!”), but there will also be a musical revue (written especially for the festival) on the accordion’s role in world music.
