Music Program Presents
Bard Accordion Orchestra
Thursday, May 14, 2026
Bard Hall
8:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Join us on May 14 for a performance of the Bard Accordion Orchestra, which will feature soulful new interpretations of various American immigrant musics: from klezmer to zydeco to polka to forró to the contemplative edge of accordion-based experimentalism, and more! This ensemble features the students enrolled in "Accordionology: Class, Race, and Migration in American Musics."8:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
The Bard Accordion Orchestra will be followed by a short set from local accordionist Matt Schreiber. Schrieber has been dedicated to the study and performance of Southeastern European folk traditions for over two decades, and blends improvisation, songcraft, and vernacular music into a single stream. Matt has performed on stages and in kitchens throughout the US and Europe, and his original music has been featured in Hollywood film and awarded in Bulgaria. Matt can be found performing regularly with Hinterlands, Krivo, and Anatole Trio.
We will also have fabric paint and accordion stamps, so Bring Your Own T-shirt (BYOT) (or buy one of our limited supply) to support the maintenance of our accordions.
