World Accordion Day is celebrated World Wide. Read about the Brooklyn Theater World Accordion Day celebratory concert HERE.

Join the world wide celebration of the day that the Patent for the Accordion was registered.

The advent of the accordion is the subject of debate among researchers. Many credit Christian Friedrich Ludwig Buschmann, as the inventor of the accordion, while others give the distinction to Cyril Demian of Vienna, who patented his Accordion in 1829, thus coining the name. A modification of the Handäoline, Demian’s invention comprised a small manual bellows and five keys, although, as Demian noted in a description of the instrument, extra keys could be incorporated into the design. Numerous variations of the device soon followed. Read more about the history of the accordion HERE.

The Cape Town Tango Ensemble is the only Tango Orchestra in South Africa. They have been in existence for over 14 years. Comprising a core of 4 musicians – Stanislav Angelov (Accordeon, Bandoneon and Vibrandoneon), Albert Combrink (Piano), Charles Lazar (Double Bass) and Jacek Domagala (Violin) (for this performance the Violinist is Piet de Beer) – the group has performed locally and internationally. Their music has appeared on the soundtrack of at films such as “Tango Club”, and “Visa/Vie”. They have appeared on various television shows such as e.TV’s “Backstage”, and various variety programmes on Kyknet. They have broadcast on the BBC German Television Service and were recently on MNet’s “Ontbytsake”. The Ensemble was nominated for an MTN SAMA Award in 2011 for their second album “Tango Club”. They have travelled abroad and in 2011 performed at the Leipzig Gewandhaus in Germany, one of Europe’s most prestigious Concert Venues. Their tour included Munich, Berlin and Tubingen, both playing concerts and shows including dancers.

The individual musicians are highly acclaimed in their own right. Angelov performed with Queen and Bono at the “46664” concert televised to millions. Combrink made his concerto and recording debut at 18 with the Natal Philharmonic Orchestra and recently performed  Tango and Chopin recitals in Singapore. All four musicians are classically trained, holding a variety of degrees and diplomas from international institutions, and perform in a variety of genres.

The program will include explanations and presentations around the instruments and styles of tango performed, making the most of the educational opportunity presented by the concert.
