 The Museum of Making Music, Namm Building, 5790 Armada Drive, Carlsbad, San Diego, CA, presents an accordion exhibition ‘Accordions - Expanding Voices in the USA’, which will run from December 13th to August 31st 2019. The museum is open from Tuesday-Sunday, 10am – 5pm.The exhibition includes a small historical display to demonstrate the early development of the instrument, and includes a 19th Century Busson flutina, 20th Century diatonic and “false piano” instruments from Galleazzi & Sons, a Hohner piano with curved keyboard, and a concertina and bandoneon as relatives of the accordion. There is an ‘exploded’ piano accordion, deconstructed and arranged to expose the internal mechanisms. The centerpiece of the exhibition is an array of accordions and contemporary accordionists. Instruments have been provided by Martin, Titano, Petosa, Bugari Armando, Hohner, and Maestro. On display will be personal instruments from C.J. Chenier, Renée de la Prade, Matt Hensley, and Jamie Maschler. Other players in the display include Guy Klucevsek, Alex Meixner, Cory Pesaturo (picture right), Michael Bridge, Los Tigres del Norte, and more. There will be two touchscreen displays that allow visitors to learn more about the players, the accordions, and the makers, and watch video clips of the players in action. There’s also a piece about what will drive the future of the accordion, including stories from educators, builders, retailers, and repairers. There will also be three accordions, provided by Hohner, for visitors to play. A short instructional video will guide them in putting the instrument on, making some music, and taking it back off safely and securely. There will special concerts in conjunction by accordionists at the exhibition with Cory Pesaturo (13 December, 7 pm) and later concerts by Jamie Maschler, Gabriel Hall-Rodrigues to be announced.
