Minnesota Accordion Club
NE Accordion Festival 2002
The music will be from all over the map, the food will be from Eastern Europe, and the fun will be in NE Minneapolis when Kramarczuk's East European Deli hosts the annual NE Accordion Festival on November 8 and 9. Beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, November 8, the Deli will be THE place to be if you're looking for great live accordion music and fantastic food.
This year the festival will welcome out-of-town guest artists and local favorites alike for performances and workshops. And if one accordion is good and two is better, what do you think of accordion orchestras? The Minneapolis Accordion Orchestra and Squeezers Accordion Orchestra will keep you enthralled! And join us for the presentation of the "Accordion Lifetime Acheivement Award" this year to Hank Thunander! Past recipients include Idilio Del Col (2001) and Larry Malmberg (2000).
Don't miss this extraordinary accordion extravaganza!
