Britse vlagWhat does AVES mean?

Aves means (Amsterdam) Accordion Association “Own Style”. AVES is not a virtuoso orchestra which plays the most difficult pieces in many even more difficult parts and voices. For us playing nice and popular music and entertaining our audience is priority. For the most part our repertoire contains pieces that almost everyone in Amsterdam knows by heart, can sing or hum: Songs about Amsterdam, operetta melodies, french musettes, evergreens, etc. We rehearse every Mondayevening from 7 till 10 pm in SBO School ‘De Kans’, Thomas van Aquinostraat 2, 1064 NE Amsterdam.
