May 17th: Accordion Circle at the Chetcutti Community Room!
Please bring your accordion and be ready to have fun at our Accordion Circle meeting.
Accordionists of all skill levels are welcome - from very beginner, to somone dusting off that accordion in the closet after raising a family or pursuing a career, to the seasoned expert. If you don't play the accordion - come anyway and enjoy the music.
Sheet music will be provided that we can all play and enjoy as a group, but we also invite and encourage any person or group who has prepared a piece or two that they would like to perform in front of an audience to do so. To make sure there is a spot for you, please contact Ken Schwartz at info@sfaccordionclub.com and a spot will be held open for you.
May's meeeting will be live at the Checuti Community Center and broadcast via ZOOM!
June 21st: Joe Domitrowich!
As both performing artist and self-described technician of the accordion, Joe Domitrowich’s technical mastery of the modern-day accordion, and his innovative and capricious styling coalesce to render his performances both challenging and entertaining.
Embracing the nostalgic, old-world timbre of the accordion’s reeds, Joe often orchestrates the sounds from a variety of musical instruments into his arrangements, sometimes covering the roles of all the instruments in an ensemble or band. These arrangements he then performs live on a single instrument without the use of pre-recorded tracks. In this way, Joe preserves the spontaneity and “life” in his music, creating a truly unique experience that captivates audiences at public events, intimate family gatherings, or novelty concerts.
Joe’s distinctive blend of tradition, innovation, and technology leaves an ‘ExtrAccordionary’ and lasting impression, especially when experienced…LIVE.
Visit Joe's website joedlive.com for more information about Joe and where you will find him performing around the Bay area.
