The WAD concert was held on May 20th in the "Museum of the Macedonian Struggle" in Skopje. The WAD concert was postponed because of the Easter holidays, which this year coincided with May 6th when we traditionally celebrated the birthday of the accordion. We were then happy to attract our loyal audience to the WAD concert on May 20th. Picture left: President of the MAA Prof.Zorica Karakutovska.
