Dear friends.

Unfortunately, the world is in a terrible pandemic that requires us to be very careful and to change or cancel events scheduled for the coming months.

Therefore, the Portuguese Accordion Association decided to cancel the 24th International Accordion Week, which would take place from 23 to 31 May. Next year, we hope to continue to hold the "Accordion Party in Portugal" with yet another edition of the International Accordion Week.

To all, I send all solidarity and friendship in the hope that we can all quickly overcome this very sad moment for Humanity!

Aníbal Freire
(President of Accordion Association of Portugal)
