Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) Secretary General Kimmo Mattila writes: “The CIA congratulates the 2021 Coupe Mondiale host, the Deutscher Harmonika-Verband e.V. (DHV) upon attracting 74 entries from 22 countries for the 74th Coupe Mondiale, 13 – 17 October in Munich.”

While Covid is causing problems for travel from some countries, a live Coupe Mondiale with live jury is clearly very popular with the contestants and their teachers.

Additionally, the CIA has received 44 delegate registrations from 23 member countries for the CIA International Congress with many Delegates also participating as jury for the Coupe Mondiale World Accordion Championships.

CIA President Mirco Patarini writes: “My best welcome to all people that will attend the 74th Coupe Mondiale, and my warm wishes to all competitors. We will have a great event with real music in a live situation, and all our young players will have the chance to express their talent without limits. Good luck!!”
