For Immediate Release A World of Accordions Museum 1401 Belknap St. Superior, Wi 54880 218-393-0245 aworldofaccordions@gmail.com MICHAEL BRIDGE IN CONCERT A World of Accordions Museum is proud to present Canadian accordionist Michael Bridge in concert on Monday, July 25, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. The concert will be held in the beautiful Hanni Strahl Concert Hall which is located in the historic A World of Accordions Museum, 1401 Belknap St., Superior, Wisconsin. Michael Bridge is a musical maverick. He’s a virtuoso performer on both the acoustic accordion and its 21st Century cousin, the digital accordion. His concerts capture the energy and panache of stadium rock with the elegance and discipline of chamber music. He’s won a slew of competitions in Canada and abroad and was named one of CBC’s 30 under 30 classical musicians. He recently received a doctorate in performance from the University of Toronto and became a Rebanks Fellow at the Glenn Gould School. He gives over 100 concerts a year as a soloist and as a member of both the “Bridge & Wolak” duo and “Ladom Ensemble”. He’s in huge demand for masterclasses around the world. Bridge embraces a musical aesthetic that is alternatively irreverent, deadly serious, meticulously prepared and completely in-the-moment. He’s at home with jazz, folk and classical music and has premiered 53 new works. Ultimately, he aims to make your world more bearable, beautiful and human – even if only for the length of a concert. www.MichaelBridge.ca A World of Accordions houses the world’s largest collection of accordions, from the very oldest dating back to the 1800’s to the newest digital instruments.
