 The London Accordion Orchestra (MD Ian Watson) performs in concert on Sunday September 3rd, 4.30pm to 6.30pm, at the Old Diarama Arts Centre (near Warren St tube station), 201 Drummond Street, London NW1 3FE. The LAO will share the concert with the highly accomplished Accordion State Youth Orchestra from Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Touring with the German orchestra are the renowned American Baritone Douglas Yates and virtuoso Bandoneonist Antje Steen. Admission is by a suggested donation of £10. LAO began life as Morley Accordion Orchestra, based at Morley College, London, in 1999. The ensemble plays a wide variety of music - from original works for accordion orchestra to show tunes and film scores. There are 30 members of the orchestra and for concerts we are joined by percussionists - so it's quite a sound! In May 2013 the MAO performed at the World Music Festival in Innsbruck, Austria. 2014 saw the orchestra host 2 foreign ensembles for concerts in London; 'Torkest' from Holland at the Dutch Church in the City and then the 'Nuremberg Accordion Orchestra' at St John's Smith Square. On July 4th 2013 MAO officially changed its name to the London Accordion Orchestra. For further information email: mail@londonao.co.uk |
