Submitted by the Event Organizer
Guy Klucevsek is one of world’s most versatile and highly-respected accordionists. This outstanding composer, virtuoso musician, and improviser has been a major contributor to the accordion renaissance of the last 25 years. His music reverberates with sounds of the ballroom, the beer garden, and the concert hall, fusing elements of regional accordion styles with jazz and avant-garde music.
In this dynamic presentation, Klucevsek discusses the influences on his music and playing, including such diverse sources as the Slovenian/American polkas and waltzes he grew up with; the accordion traditions of eastern Europe, Brazil, and Argentina; cajun and Tex-Mex music; and 20th-century composers such as Satie, Bartok, Piazzolla, and Stravinsky. He illustrates his talk with live excerpts from his own music, showing the many unique techniques he has developed on accordion to realize his compositional ideas.
Guy Klucevsek’s participation is made possible by a residency sponsored by the Headlands Center for the Arts.
