Ariana Hellerman organizes the annual “Accordions Around the World” event in Bryant Park, New York City. She is looking for Accordionists, Concertinists, Bandoneonistas, Harmonium Players for this summer 2017.

“Accordions Around the World” is made up of accordionists of different musical genres that play in different pockets of Bryant Park. The event receives much press including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, ABC News, and NY1. Note that while the series is called, Accordions Around the World, they are interested in all free-reed instruments: concertinas, bandoneones, shengs, harmoniums, etc. included!

The weekly event will take place on the following four Wednesdays early evenings in June and July 2017, exact time TBD:

June 28
July 5
July 12
July 19

Accordionists will play for a 15 minute set and rotate to a different station in the park and play another 15 minute set (two short sets total; you will be in the park for no more than two hours, if not less). The audience is invited to picnic and able to sample different accordion styles. There will be vendors selling food in the park.

Compensation is involved but accordionists must be able to get to the park on their own.

If you are interested, please email Ariana at ariana@arianaslist.com.

Also save July 21st! The series culminates in an Accordion Band Festival will take place then, featuring 5 bands (each with an accordion of course!).
