Uncovering the Beauty in Accordion

Take part in an intimate, three-hour request based workshop led by accordionist Mario Pedone. When participants register, they will be asked about their desired learning objectives. A list of participant learning objectives will be compiled and forwarded to Mario, who will prepare a special workshop covering the topics that address the learning objectives on the registration list. The workshop will be followed by a one hour performance. This promises to be a beautiful evening, offering new musical insights and new friends.

Mario Pedone is an internationally renowned accordion performance artist, composer, record producer, and teacher. He resides in Texas, and will visit Victoria to present a beautiful music workshop and performance. Mario's expertise as a musician and mastery of the accordion will be valuable to anyone studying the accordion. His unique style as a performance artist who aspires only to create and present beautiful music will also be of interest to other musicians who do not play the accordion, but who would like to learn unique insights about the instrument while watching Mario work with accordionists and their unique challenges. Non-accordionist participants will glean insights that will be beneficial when they work with accordionists in ensemble settings.

Price is $60 ($40 for observers).
