Accordionist Guy Klucevsek will perform his entire AAA commissioned suite, “Three Tributes,” including “Ballad of Faithe,” on September 18, 2016 at Terraza 7, 40-19 Gleane Street NY, Elmhurst, Queens, Phone: 
(718) 803-9602. It will be part of Victor Prieto’s “New York International Accordion Jazz Festival.”

Guy Klucevsek began playing accordion in 1952, after he saw Dick Contino on television. Since that time, he has performed and/or recorded with Laurie Anderson, Bang On a Can, Alan Bern, Brave Combo, Anthony Braxton, Jason Robert Brown, Charles Busch, Dave Douglas, Bill Frisell, Kepa Junkera, the Kronos Quartet, Alex Meixner, Natalie Merchant, John Williams, and John Zorn.

A composer as well as a performer, his music reverberates with sounds of the ballroom, the beer garden and the concert hall, fusing elements of regional accordion styles with jazz and avant-garde music. Performances include Ten Days on the Island (Tasmania), the Adelaide Festival (Australia), the Berlin Jazz Festival, Lincoln Center, Spoleto Festival/USA, BAM Next Wave Festival,  international accordion festivals in Vienna, Cotati (CA), and San Antonio, and the children’s television show “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”.

His group “Accordion Tribe” (1996-2006) toured internationally, released 3 cds, and were the subjects of Stefan Schwietert’s award-winning documentary film, “Accordion Tribe:  Music Travels”. Klucevsek has released 23 recordings as leader/co-leader. He is the recipient of a 2010 United States Arts Collins Fellowship, awarded to “America’s finest artists”.

Guy will also present a concert on Oct. 1, 2016 at 9:PM, at Spectrum, NYC, as part of John King’s “Born Into Flames” series. The concert will celebrate the release of his latest composer recording on the Starkland label, “Teetering on the Verge of Normalcy,” and will feature Todd Reynolds, violin, Kamala Sankaram, voice, Phillip Bush, piano, and Guy on accordion.
