- For the Masterclasses, we can already announce the names of Miljan Bjeletic, Cesare Chiacchiaretta, and Diana Freire;
For the Competitions, we will have some of the best accordion teachers, globally recognized, to be part of the Jury that will evaluate the participants in the 2 Events – National Trophy and International Accordion Competition.
We have broken the record for entries in our competitions, so we invite everyone to visit Alcobaça and participate in these events.
