The International Concertina Association connects players and enthusiasts around the world to promote the playing, music, and history of the concertina.
We founded and curate World Concertina Day on February 6th every year, featuring a major video concert and live events around the world.
We publish the quarterly Concertina World magazine, available in paper form and online, including regular music supplements and other supplements of special interest.
Our website offers access to a large online library/archive of concertina sheet music, recordings, and documents, and additional sheet music is available to members via scans from our paper library.
We can offer financial support to assist young players.
The ICA was founded in the UK in 1952 and is now a fully international organization with members in over 20 countries. We hold our Annual General Meetings and associated concerts online so members around the world can participate in real time. We are governed under a constitution from 2004. Changes to the constitution are currently under consideration (in 2024) and may be proposed to the membership soon.
