Accordionist Guy Klucevsek will be performing at The Stone, a 'New Artists' Space in the East Village dedicated to experimental and avant-garde music.

In 1996, Klucevsek formed The Accordion Tribe, an international lineup of composer and accordionists Maria Kalaniemi (Finland), Lars Hollmer (Sweden), Bratko Bibic (Slovenia), Otto Lechner (Austria), and Klucevsek (USA).
