Video Archive and Education Project

The Scandalli Accordion Factory assisted by Accordions Worldwide are the sponsors of the 2024 Video Archive and Education Project. This is a project initiated in 2010 by the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) with assistance from sponsors. 

The project includes:
(i) A video of all the Coupe Mondiale categories and their contestants to be kept in the CIA archives in Finland, which over the coming years will become a wealth of historical recordings, including the premiere of many original accordion works and the emergence of upcoming artists at the Coupe Mondiale.
(ii) Each year, video and pictures from many international accordion events are added to the CIA archives in Finland.
(iii) Free downloads of the performances by competitors in each Coupe Mondiale category. These will be placed online as free downloads for the educational benefit of accordion teachers and students. The purpose is to enable the free spread of knowledge and information and thereby raise the levels of accordion performance and musicianship internationally.

We thank the Scandalli Accordion Factory and Accordions Worldwide for their sponsorship to enable this ambitious free project to assist accordion students and tutors throughout the world.
