SUMMARY:Bach to Benny Goodman
DESCRIPTION:A Co-Production with \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImaginative musical mastery\, unorthodox arrangements and tight ensemble playing… WHOLENOTE MAGAZINE\n\n\n\nThe only duo of clarinet and digital accordion\, Bridge & Wolak fuse technology\, virtuosity\, and improv comedy to create an unforgettable concert experience. Bach to Benny Goodman begins with refined baroque music\, journeys through smoky Parisian jazz clubs and Polish fields\, and arrives in New York for the music of the ‘King of Swing’—Benny Goodman. \n\n\n\nEvery performance is riotously unique with Bridge & Wolak’s signature explosive comedy and audience engagement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Artists\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Bridge began playing when he was 5 and growing up in Calgary. His mom bought an accordion at a garage sale for $5. A family friend started teaching him to play by ear. Formal lessons began at 7.Today he performs on a digital accordion – essentially a computer housed in a conventional accordion case that can imitate the sound of just about any instrument you can imagine. He can single-handedly shake the rafters sounding like a full rock drum kit or a symphony orchestra.He’s also a master of the more familiar acoustic accordion\, a soulful\, highly expressive instrument.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWolak received his doctorate from the Paderewski Music Academy in Poznan\, Poland. He grew up in Włocławek\, a small city west of Warsaw. His parents were both professional musicians and by the age of 5\, Wolak was taking piano lessons and dreaming of becoming a famous musician. At 12\, Wolak took up the clarinet and became obsessed with mastering the instrument. At 16 he left home for studies at the conservatory in Poznan. Later he moved to Canada which offered him a safe harbour\, a place to launch a stellar international career as a soloist and an offramp to pursue his impressive academic achievements.  \n\n\n\n\n\nFresh\, exciting and fun\, dispelling any of the oldpreconceptions about classical music… BARRIE EXAMINER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:
