DUBAI, UAE
I am happy to give a warm welcome to the participants of ‘Сlassic Accordions’, the new international bayan and accordion competition in the United Arab Emirates!
Unlike the violin or harp, the accordion is still quite a young instrument. It is only about a hundred years old. But the interest of public all over the world towards its players is growing at an extraordinary pace. That's why we have united our efforts with SAMIT Event Group, the EUFSC and Mr. Konstantin Ishkhanov in particular, and made a decision to launch a new competition in the UAE, the country which is now an example of unprecedented growth and tremendous opportunities, the center of gravity for people coming from each and every country in the world.
I am very pleased to welcome you all to the Classic Accordions International Competition, a new classical music event which will be dedicated exclusively to the wonderful instrument that is the accordion.
Here at SAMIT Event Group, we are always working to help increase exposure and appreciation for music in all its infinite variety, and one of the ways we do so is by providing new opportunities for musicians to showcase and benefit from their skills, while at the same time allowing the general public to become more acquainted with musical works and instruments which may perhaps be relatively underrepresented.

The respected global jury members represent a variety of performing schools. I am sure that together we will be able to discover new talents and demonstrate the all-round ways of playing this instrument.
We wish all the invited artists and participants a wonderful play and hope they will enjoy the amazing atmosphere that Dubai has to offer.
Throughout the history of international relations it has always been art and music that played a unifying role between states and continents. We are now looking forward to engaging with the high music that will unite all the countries of our planet in the pursuit of virtue and common good.

The accordion falls squarely within this category and we are very excited to be involved in organising the largest and most ambitious competition for this instrument that the United Arab Emirates has ever seen. Our hope is that this event will provide a forum for friendly competition and the exchanging of knowledge as accordionists from across the globe compete in a series of rounds designed to test their musicianship, skills and technical ability.
This inaugural event marks an important milestone since it provides a valuable platform through which to support the career development of promising young musicians. To this end, we are also thrilled to be collaborating with a prestigious jury board of highly respected and experienced musicians from around the world, who I am sure will provide significant and beneficial musical insights as well as important guidance to all our participants.
Lastly, I would like to wish the very best of luck and success to all the competitors who will be joining us here in Dubai. I hope that you will all have a splendid time in this beautiful city and will be able to leave enriched with many wonderful memories and experiences to cherish.
