The American Accordionists’ Association (AAA) will present a 2020 Master Class & Concert Series with Dr William Schimmel, moderator and curator, from July 31st to August 2nd, 2020. This event will be held at the Tenri Cultural Institute in New York City.

Entitled “Time Travel” the festival will feature daily masterclasses from 3:PM and evening concerts from 7:PM.

Dr. William Schimmel, one of the principal architects in the resurgence of the accordion, holds Bachelor of Music, Master of Science, and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees in composition from the Juilliard School.

Schimmel’s music has been featured in a number of television shows and films, perhaps most notably ‘Scent of a Woman’ starring Al Pacino, where Schimmel appears in the famous Tango scene. Schimmel performs music in many genres, has commissioned and premiered hundreds of new works, has written a number of books and articles and has made numerous recordings and videos.
