Besides good food and some of the best accordion music this side of heaven we are sure
you will find one of the most exciting reasons for attending the Las Vegas International
Accordion Convention (LVAC) is to see accordions, discover
new recorded music and music publications, and to discover the latest trend in
accordion accessories and merchandise.
About 15 Workshops
and Master Classes will be held each day with a lunch/concert break. Workshops are geared
for all players no matter what level of playing. Learning tricks of the trade from
the masters should provide an inspirational experience for all accordion players and
enthusiasts. Our definition of a Master Class is where
one person takes a private lesson in front of an audience with the Master!
Below please find
