On May 30th, the second performance of the Global Accordion Project Orchestra was premiered. The piece by Ian Watson (picture left) was entitled “Song Without Words” (sound and video editing completed by Sam Cullen), which was originally dedicated to the Watford Accordion Band at the 2018 Super Orchestra Day held in Rippley, UK.

There were 200 applications to be part of this performance, and the final result featured 103 accordionists and 1 percussionist from around the world, with new participants from Austria, China and Spain.

The next project has been announced as follows: the Global Accordion Project Orchestra is going to commission Ian Watson to write a special piece called “Horizon”.
