| Video from a March 22 performance at the NAMM Museum of Making Music. The accordionists are (l to r) Gabe Hall-Rodrigues, Jamie Maschler and Frank Petrilli. Carlsbad NEWS 8 sent news reporter Jeff Zevely (picture below right) to see NAMM’s Museum of Making Music exhibit called Accordions: Expanding Voices in the USA in Carlsbad, California on March 27th. The news report stated “It is an extremely exciting experience when we start to see the resurgence of an instrument that had once faded from the spotlight, and even more exciting to see all the creative ways that musicians reincorporate an instrument some traditional and some supremely innovative,” shared Carolyn Grant, MoMM’s Executive Director. Along with providing the musical history of the accordion, the exhibit offers a how-to-play-the-accordion video. Jeff and other museum visitors, mostly children, gave several accordions a squeeze and recorded some laughs of their own. The exhibition also features an expanded look at the insides of the accordion, and presents historical examples illustrating the development of the accordion from its early roots to its incredible popularity in school classrooms in the 1950s to the modern form of today. Accordions: Expanding Voices in the USA will run through to August 31st, 2019 and has been getting a lot of positive TV and media reporting.
