Did you know? Sveriges Dragspelares Riksförbund, the SDR, or Swedish Accordionists Association was founded 1968. There are currently more than 3000 members and the official magazine “Dragspelsnytt” is published four times a year. Dragspelsnytt is distributed all over Sweden as well as to accordion organisations throughout the world.
 
One of SDR´s main activities is to support education such as seminars, workshops, concerts and other educational affairs which also leads to support Swedish candidates for international competitions. SDR also works very closely with The Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm and Albin Hagström memorial fund to present prizes and scholarships to young Swedish accordionists.

swedish flagTisdagen den 6:e Maj firas det internationellt World Accordion Day - Dragspelets Dag!
 
Vi firar denna dag på Karlssons Musik med att ha ”öppet hus” här och bjuder på både artister i form av Anita Agnas från Dalarna och Søren Brix från Danmark, instrumentdemonstration (med lite nyheter) och kaffe & tilltugg.
 
Anita Agnas blev nu framröstad till ”Årets Dragspelare” i Sverige 2013. Hon är en mångsidig artist som har varit med i många olika föreställningar, bl a på Kungliga Operan och på Drottningholm, och har under många år nu utbildat många av dagens framstående dragspelare. Bifogar nytagen bild på henne som är fri att använda.
 
Søren Brix är en av Danmarks i särklass främsta dragspelare. Trots att han är ung har han turnerat runt i Norden i ganska många år nu och gör verkligen succé med sina väldigt mångsidiga framträdanden, han behärskar vitt skilda musikstilar såsom klassiskt, jazz, folk, musette, tango osv. Han har dessutom vunnit Danska Mästerskapen i dragspel.
 
Självklart kommer ni att ha möjlighet att besöka vårt unika dragspelsmuseum samt kunna ta del av specialerbjudanden!
