PROMOTING CULTURAL NETWORK SEE AND CONNECTING LOCAL PROJECTS IN SOUTH-EAST EUROPE
Start date: Jun 1, 2013,

The aim of the project is to continue and expand the work of the project started in may 2012. With the great response of the students, mentors and media we organized first International music workshop in August 2012 in Brežice, Slovenia we set the foundation for Accordion Orchestra of South-East Europe. Through the international organization Cultural Network South-East Europe established in October 2012 we are keen to promote and expend the Network. The project relates to all tree objectives of the Culture Program 2007-2013. As previously stated, the accordion plays a very important role in the traditions and the folklore of Europe and surely one of the parts where its distinctive sound is still felt very strongly is south east Europe. Although it was and still is played across the continent, through different historical and cultural influences, accordion-playing was developed in many different musical directions and even though it is still present in both popular and classical music, we will focus on its role in traditional music. Traditional music in south east Europe, as well as most of the other forms of folklore, is rapidly losing popularity and very little, if any, young people are interested in preserving traditions which have been present in these regions for centuries and which present a direct connection to their ancestors. Since we know the process of organizing a good structure for preserving and promoting cultural aspects of music (primarily accordion with all complementary folk instruments as tambour, bas, etc) we set the priorities for next period.
