 ‘Accordions Around the World’ is made up of accordionists of different musical genres that play in pockets of Bryant Park, Manhattan, New York. Many cultures and genres have been represented in the two years the series has been running. While the series is called, ‘Accordions Around the World’, the organisers are interested in all free-reed instruments: concertinas, bandeones, shengs, harmoniums, etc. included! Picture right: Les Poissons Voyageurs, a Montreal group performing at Bryant Park. Here are details on the 2015 series: The weekly event will take place on Wednesdays in July and August 2015 Accordionists will play from 6 - 8pm Multiple accordionists play each week in different parts of the park (note: not on the stage.) Each accordionist will receive between 1-2 gigs over the course of the season. Accordionists must have at least an hour’s worth of polished material. Payment offer is $150 per gig. Solo accordionists are sought for the following dates: July 1st, July 8th, July 15th, July 22nd, July 29th, August 5th, August 12th, August 19th, and August 26th. If you are interested, please send: Your name (i.e., how you would like to be billed in the program) Your website (if you have one) A sample of you playing What is the two to four-word description of the style of music you'll be playing? Since this is ‘Accordions Around the World’, the description should include a region of the world and/or a musical genre. (E.g. Cumbia from Colombia; Blues and Rock-n-roll; Zydeco from Louisiana; French musette + Waltz) The turn-around is quick; the organizer, Ariana Hellerman, will be in touch soon to let you know if we're able to accommodate everyone who is interested. Bryant Park is a 9.603-acre privately managed public park located in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is located between Fifth and Sixth Avenues and between 40th and 42nd Streets in Midtown Manhattan. For further information email: ariana@arianaslist.com |
