The 2021 All-Russian Day of Bayan, Accordion and Harmonica concert (celebrated on the third Saturday in March) will be held on March 20th at the RAM Gnesin in Moscow. Several world premieres will be performed in the concert program as well as performances by Friedrich Lips (picture right) and students of the Academy. The Department of the Bayan and Accordion of the Gnesins RAM established the event with project manager, Friedrich Lips. The aim of the event is to become part of a national cultural project. The initiative began in 2010 and demonstrated great enthusiasm in all regions of Russia, both from amateurs and professional musicians, and resulted in a truly national celebration. It is worth noting that throughout the twentieth century these instruments were an integral part of the life of the peoples of Russia: Russians, Tatars, Bashkir, Ukrainians and many others and that the bayan, harmonica and accordion played an important role during the World War II of 1941-1945.
