Motion Trio

Poland's Motion Trio uses the accordion in surprising new ways and draws inspiration from classical, jazz, rock, and techno music. In addition to their own compositions, they will perform the world premiere arrangement -- for three accordions -- of "De Profundis," a movement from Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki's Seven Gates of Jerusalem, a work commissioned by the Israeli government.

This event is part of the Skirball Center's ongoing accordion music series, "Compressing the World."

NOTE: Originally scheduled as a double bill, this performance will be a full-length concert by Motion Trio. Bester Quartet (formerly known as Cracow Klezmer Band) will not be performing.
