The concert-accordion (a.k.a. classical accordion) is a little-known instrument in North America. Michael Bridge, the first Canadian to receive a doctorate in accordion performance, gives concerts and speaks globally about music's power to bridge cultural divides, foster empathy, and inspire resilience. In this concert, he will perform striking works by Bach and Sofia Gubaidulina, and be joined by mezzo-soprano Grace Stewart ’17 for a set of Spanish showpieces.
