The 2025 NZAA South Pacific Accordion Championships & Festival will be held at the superb Raye Freedman Arts Centre (picture below), Silver Rd, Epsom, Auckland on Saturday 31 May & Sunday 01 June. The excellent acoustics and lighting present every performer at their best.

NZAA President Sonja Palinich welcomes everyone to the event which is open to competitors and festival performers worldwide and has a variety of age group classes for soloists, duos, trios, ensembles and orchestras.

The rules for the international solo categories closely follow the rules of the Coupe Mondiale. The South Pacific international concert music category has exactly the same rules as the Coupe Mondiale Masters category and the South Pacific entertainment category has exactly the same rules as the Coupe Mondiale Virtuoso Entertainment category.

Similarly (under 18 years) Junior South Pacific entertainment category. The South Pacific Junior solo concert category has the same rules as the first round of the Coupe Mondiale Junior category.

Entries close on April 18th, 2025. Download the rules and competition prospectus at: https://www.accordion.co.nz/2025/graphics/2025nz_prospectus.pdf
