In addition to classical music originally written for accordion or transcriptions for compositions written for other instruments, Petar also plays virtuoso-compositions from the variété genre consisting of music from different countries and of different styles, enabling this world-class young artist to show the audience all the attraction and possibilities of accordion as an instrument.
Apart from classical and variété music, the young artist’s wide repertoire offers something new and original: electronic accordion and electronic sound presenting the instrument from a new perspective which has wide appeal to the public.
The Great Room is fully air-conditioned, wheelchair accessible (ADA compliant), has a grand piano, stage (!), and is conveniently located only a few blocks away from Atlantic Terminal in the heart of beautiful historic Fort Greene neighborhood accessible by all trains: B, C, D, G, N, R, Q, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the LIRR.
