Mayumi Miyaoka, founder of the Brooklyn Accordion Club in 2013, shares her New Year’s greetings:

Season’s Greetings everyone!

Thank you for all your supports during the year of 2016!! Thanks to your contribution and participation, BAC had another great year!

As announced during the last meeting of 2016, the Brooklyn Accordion Club is going to try an experiment during the long break before our next meeting in February 2017 (Date TBA. There is no meeting in January).

The general idea is to randomly pair performers to work together on duets of their choosing. Partners will perform during the February meeting (or March if you cannot make it to the February meeting). There are no hard-and- fast rules. If you already have someone you’d like to work with, then let us know about it.

If you are daring and want to pair up with someone randomly, please just sign up with us. We’ll do our best to keep it random, but we might make some adjustments based on distance (e.g., it might be difficult for someone from Westchester to get paired with someone from Long Island. You may also work together via Skype etc.). If there are any adjustments that need to be made after the pairing, please let us know, and we’ll try to make accommodations to suit everyone.

Beginners are welcome to participate!!

To sign up and for further information, please just indicate your interest by Jan 8th by emailing brooklynaccordionclub@gmail.com

Here’s to a daring 2017!
A happy new year to you all! Keep squeezing!
