Presented by the inimitable Bartek Glowacki, this show spans nearly 300 years of music featuring that enigmatic machine, The Accordion.



As we take you from the high-octane rhythms of Nelson's My Inner Disco to the heady Argentinian harmonies of Piazzolla's Five Tango Sensations, from the mountains of Bulgaria to the dark corridors of Trojan's The Ruined Cathedral, the only certainty is that you won't ever look at the accordion in the same way again.



This programme also offers an unmissable opportunity to hear Rakhi Singh, Music Director of the Collective, as a concerto soloist. She will combine forces with Bartek to present Vivaldi's haunting Concerto for Violin and Organ in D minor, RV 541.
