![]() The Orchestre d'Accordeon du Sundgau (MD Philippe Rey) was founded in 1967, and also has its own youth orchestra. They have recorded three albums, and have performed throughout France, and visited Russia, Germany, Croatia, and Italy, where they distinguished themselves at the Castelfidardo International Competition. The Accora Orchestra – formerly known as the Castletown Accordion Orchestra - was formed in 1981 as a marching band. In 1993, the current Musical Director John Chilton took over and changed the band to an accordion orchestra. They have won numerous titles at All Ireland level and at other events held throughout Ireland, including the Northern Ireland Open Accordion Championships. Individual members have won many solo, duet and ensemble competitions. For further information email: halleauble@mairie-altkirch.fr |
