Accordions En Masse

Monday, April 13th, 2009

On June 21st, head over to Park Slope where dozens of accordion players will congregate at the main-squeezeOld Stone House in J.J. Byrne Park.  Composer Bob Goldberg will call for musicians to create an “Accordion Forest”, filling the park with the sound of accordions, and then premiere a new work with the 12-piece Famous Accordion Orchestra.

Following after, the Main Squeeze Orchestra, the 14-piece, all-female, all-accordion group created by Walter Kühr, will lead the accordions and audiences in a lineup of favorite play-alongs for all to join, culminating in a parade complete with flag bearers in color guard formation.  A “Mass Appeal” event not to be missed!
