A World Accordion Day “From Paris to Stellenbosch” celebration will be held at the Drostdy Theatre in Stellenbosch, South Africa on May 3rd, 2026 from 3pm.

The concert, organized by Accordion Shop Cape Town (run by Stanislav Angelov) and SAFRA (South African Free Reed Association), will feature the accordion and other members of the free reed family, such as the bandoneon, concertina, harmonica and more.

“You can expect music from various genres, performed by top professional accordionists from the Cape Town area and some young, upcoming accordion students. Monika Stuchlik from Zamar, Stanislav Angelov, Loren Ehlers, Andre van Vuuren, Louis Verwey to mention a few. Accordion players will be joined by a few other top professional musicians as well.”

Performers will “present music that reflects a musical journey between these two cultural landscapes—whether through French repertoire, South African influences, or works that artistically bridge these worlds.”

One performance only. For further details email: president.safra@gmail.com
