  Excerpts from the Temple Daily Telegram News. Accordionist Dr. Mike Middleton will perform Saturday March 4th with the Temple Symphony Orchestra conducted by Tom Fairlie. Middleton, an award-winning musician, will perform two 10-12 minute medleys which were written for the symphony based on music from his albums. The first is a Polka Medley with songs including Lichtensteiner Polka, Happy Wanderer, Julia Polka, Edelweiss & Clarinet Polka. The second Medley will be a Texas Folk Medley, which include The Yellow Rose of Texas, Red River Valley, Waltz Across Texas, Ghostwriters in the Sky, and The San Antonio Rose. Currently, Middleton lives in Central Texas with his wife, Darla, and has three children. Middleton, along with his sons on percussion, and Clayton on tuba together started his band, which they affectionately called “Mike and the Middletones.” The Middletones have been featured at Wurstfest in New Braunfels multiple times, and other festivals. They have performed on The Mollie B Polka Party TV show in 2016 and have performed at The World Accordion Museum in Superior, Wisconsin. Middleton recently has produced and recorded several albums: “Around the World & Back TO Texas,” “Accordion & Tuba Favorites,” and “Accordion to Mike & The Middletones: Back IN Texas,” along with the single, “Amazing Grace Accordion Variations.” Tickets for individual Temple Symphony Orchestra concerts are $25 for adults and $5 for students. Orchestra performances are held at the Mary Alice Marshall Performing Arts Center at Temple College, located at 2600 S. First St. in Temple. CD's available online at: Mike Middleton |
