Oklahoma Accordion Club
The Oklahoma Accordion Club was meant to be.
In the spring of 2000, several un-related Oklahoma City accordionists received a call from Norman Seaton in Dallas requesting support for a young ATG competition winner hoping to play his way into Texas. The local accordionists came together and completed the request by initiating a concert in addition to providing room and board.
Realizing their achievement, the progressive Oklahoma City accordionists banded together to form the current Oklahoma Accordion Club. Our Club now maintains an international roster of 60 + members.
Our goals are simple. Create interest for the accordion, promote young accordionists and continue to educate, encourage and improve the current members.
Meeting Location
We meet on the second Sunday of every month.
