 Stefan Andrusyschyn (accordion) and his wife Denise Leigh (operatic soprano) perform as guests at the North Staffs Accordion Club, Goldenhill Workingmens Club, Kidsgrove Road, Stoke-on-Trent ST6 5SH, on Tuesday June 21st, 8pm. Admission is £4.Stefan Andrusyschyn is in great demand for concerts and accordion festivals throughout the UK. He studied with Oleg Sharov at the St Petersburg Conservatory, Russia, and Owen Murray of the Royal Academy of Music, London. In 2000 he came first in an Under 18 European accordion competition in Switzerland, a prestigious addition to his many successes in UK competitions. Blind from birth, he learns his music from recordings and he enjoys accompanying singers on piano or accordion, the latter ideal as a substitute to the pipe organ suiting the music sung by his wife, Denise. Stefan auditioned for and won a grant for the purchase of his accordion, a Bayan system as used in Russia and the Baltic countries. This was custom made for him by the Zonta company in Minsk, Belarus. In 2003 Denise Leigh won the TV reality show, ‘Operatunity’, and since then has a list of accolades to her name. Sir George Martin, the Beatles producer, invited her to perform at a gala performance at St James’ Palace for the Queen and Prince Philip, the Prince of Wales. Other performances include singing on Classic FM Live from the Royal Albert Hall, Proms in the Park at Hyde Park, The Paralympics at Beijing 2008, The London Olympics opening ceremony 2012, The Royal Opera House in 2010 with Stefan for Channel 4 TV, with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and ‘Friday Night is Music Night’ with the BBC Concert Orchestra, and with Catherine Jenkins, Andre Bocelli, Geraint Dobbs and Wynne Evans (of ‘Go Compare’ fame).
