Europe Tour Includes Accordion Masterclass in Polandby Christine Johnstone |
Video: “Bridge+Wolak Duo” perform “Petite Fleur”, April 2019 at the Imperial Theatre, Sarnia, Canada. Accordionist Michael Bridge (Canada) and Kornel Wolak (clarinet) “Bridge+Wolak Duo” are touring in Europe. Their tour began in Kiev, Ukraine, where they delivered presentations and masterclasses at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory. The focus was on realistic employment of non-accordion sounds and particulars of using digital accordion in chamber music performance (in this case, playing with clarinet and violin.) Now they are based in Kraków, Poland, where they are playing concerts throughout Poland and in the Czech Republic Last week Michael gave a masterclass and lecture for students at the Music Academy in Lódz, Poland, organised by Olo Stachowski. The lecture was entitled “14 Types of Bellows Shakes”. He then worked with six of the students (undergraduate and masters) in a masterclass setting. Michael was very grateful for such a warm reception from the Academy and the teachers, and for very attentive students. For further tour information email: michael@michaelbridgemusic.com |
