Bridge & Wolak

A dynamic musical team, Kornel Wolak (clarinet) and Michael Bridge (accordions) are globetrotting concert artists / educators / researchers / entrepreneurs — pushing the traditional boundaries of their instruments. They perform as a duo, or with full orchestra or string quartet – playing a uniquely orchestrated repertoire of baroque, classical, folk and contemporary music. As educators-researchers, they are guest lecturers at universities and conferences, and conduct and publish original research related to their performance practices. Their serious musical goods coupled with an entertaining stage presence has led to critical acclaim in Europe, North and South America – “Watch and be amazed.” (CBC) SAMPLE PROGRAM Hungarian Dance No. 5 - Brahms Baroque Suite - Handel Petite Fleur - Bechet Violin Partita no. 3 - Bach/Rachmaninoff Summer, from The Four Seasons - Vivaldi Rock Bach - DDD Mazurka in Bb & Waltz in Db - Chopin Boogie Wonders - DDD 1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky Polka Grandpa/Rhapsody in Blue - Namyslowski/Gershwin
