The 2nd International Accordion Music Festival Koszalin will take place from September 19th to 22nd in Koszalin organized by the Local Culture Centre of Koszalin and the "Akord" Accordion Band and promoted by the Miejski Osrodek Kultury.

The aim of the event is to present the accordion as a band instrument, to introduce this form of making music, to integrate accordion societies and to exchange experiences and repertoires. In addition the accordion will be shown as an instrument which can present different types of music such as jazz, classic and others. Although the accordion is the feature instrument, other instruments will be allowed for accompaniment. The festival will also include a massed accordion orchestra performance.

Although the event is not a competition, there will still be a jury that will consist of instructors that will also be festival competitors. The Jury, guided by the main adviser, will consider the following criteria: selection of repertoire, interpretation of music formations, standard of band's artistic experience, discipline of band and general artistic outlook, technique of presentation. The best bands will receive diplomas and souvenirs sponsored by the promoters.
