organises a congress every two years, each time in a different country, the venue of which is
decided by the members. Since the World Association celebrates its 20th jubilee in 2011 the

The aims of the Congress are to hold a meeting of the members, to make decisions
about the operation of the Association, to let the delegations from different countries
introduce the cimbalom culture of their homeland, to share and gain knowledge and
