The ATG “70th Anniversary Galla-Rini Celebration” will be held in San Francisco, California on July 21-25, 2010. This special anniversary festival will feature the Anthony Galla-Rini International Competition for Classical Accordion, which offers almost $10,000 in prize money.

CIA Delegate and Past ATG President, Joan Sommers, has graciously offered to be the contact person for this competition. Please contact her via email joansommers@kc.rr.com for rules and more information.

This will be the first time the ATG holds a festival in California. Already tremendous enthusiasm and response for the festival is happening. Mark your calendars now and start putting a little extra away for shopping on Fisherman’s Wharf, and sightseeing to Alcatraz and Chinatown. For a special flare join us in a concert at Great America Amusement park with World-Class performers.

The ATG “70th Anniversary Galla-Rini Celebration” will be a grand way to celebrate seven decades of ATG history and commitment to excellence within the world-wide accordion community.

Mark your calendars and we hope to see you for this fabulous event in San Francisco, California, USA July 21-25, 2010!
