AccNoir-2011-08-03, MusicFest Vancouver Hayloft Kickstart

Go to the Music Fest Vancouver this weekend [ten years ago]!

“Accordion Day,” with three international classical accordion acts!
Saturday, August 6th.  [The three acts included the charming Dutch TOEAC, pictured, and Steve Normandin, then of Quebec.  Rowan introduced himself after the concert and we hit it off, ultimately relocating to a downtown cafe where we were eventually asked to leave due to Steve’s excessive animation in his enthusiastic advocacy for accordion.  This led to multiple visits by Steve to our festival and our radio program.  Rounding off the program was the late Alexander Sevastian, of the Quartetto Gelato.  This all is reflected in this episode’s playlist.]

Regina Carter with her Reverse Thread Project (Will Holshouser, acc.)
Monday August 8th. Amazing opportunities! [Bruce doesn’t lie; this was also an incredible concert.]
