One of the pillars of the NAA Convention is the youth program on Saturday, March 19, 2022. With the guidance of Dick Albreski young accordionists will attend workshops and play together and learn.

This year’s youth activities will culminate in a concert on Saturday where they can showcase their accordion skills to the conventioneers and their parents in the main ballroom during lunch. Special thanks go also to Elena Fainshtein who sends many of her students to participate and perform. We are lucky having so many young students this year.

The countdown is on! There is still time to register.
