About DDD from their new website: “In a classy and dynamic show, Double-Double Duo uniquely fuses classical showpieces with jazz, world and folk music. In the 2015-16 season, they toured Ecuador, Alberta, and Ontario; and in 2016-17, the will embark on two European tours through France, Poland and the United Kingdom.

Bringing comedy, virtuosity, and musical sensitivity to a broad repertoire, DDD “brings every composition, from the past to the 21st century, to life!” Playing orchestral works, jazz tunes and world music, “Double-Double Duo is the best of new, young ‘classical’ musicians opening the windows to fresh air and bringing their own style of intellect, expertise, talent and just plain fun to a new 21st century audience.” (Barrie Examiner)

Two-time Canadian Accordion Champion Michael Bridge (accordions/piano) has played solo with the Boston Pops and won the prestigious Calgary Stampede Talent Search, out of 300 young artists. Highly acclaimed for his musical imagination,

Dr. Kornel Wolak (clarinet/piano) has been praised by numerous critics: “Control and a smooth, elegant expressivity are what make Wolak shine.” (Toronto Star)

One of their 2015-16 tour highlights is performing a World Premiere by “Airat Ichmouratov” at the International Conference on Multiculturalism in Wrocław Poland, in collaboration with Prof. Guillaume Tardif and the University of Alberta Wirth Institute.

As teachers, Double-Double will be artists in residence at the University of Western Ontario in September 2016, and they perform educational shows and concerts for youth.
DDD concert repertoire is hand-picked and designed for each individual audience. The concert programming encompasses a subtle balance of notable classical ‘standards’ and jazz standards, but DDD’s extensive and diverse repertoire can be customized for the specifics of any concert experience.

Double-Double’s music is fun and fiery, as they continue to push the boundaries of live-performance to the next level!”
