Frequencyannual

The Akord festival was established in 2010 by the MKC Maribor Youth Culture Centre as the continuation of the former cycle of open-air ethno music concerts organised in the old city centre of Maribor. The festival called also the Festival of accordion music with a difference play on the relation between the urban and the rural environment.

The programme of 2010 presented the Bratko Bibič & The Madleys band, an accordion player Jure Tori, who developed the new accordion music styles during the two decades of playing in the Orlek band, and the Austrian musician Lothar Lässer who has collaborated in the ensembles Deishovida, Budowitz, Sandy Lopicic Orkestar, Bukowina Club Orkestar and writes music for theatres in Graz, Klagenfurt and Vienna.

The first edition featured also the screening of the film "The Accordion Players" documentary directed by Dušan Moravec and Leon Matek, produced by the Vertigo/Emotionfilm.
