Description:

New York's only all-female, all-accordion ensemble presents a night of music by Kurt Weill. 15 women accordionists led by local accordion guru, Walter Kuhr, interpret the wit, beauty and heartbreak in the music of this great composer. If 15 accordions playing "Lost in the Stars" doesn't melt you, nothing will.

Artists

Main Squeeze Orchestra Holiday Extravaganza
When these girls strap it on and squeeze like hell, you stand up and listen. The secret lovechild of Lawrence Welk and Eartha Kitt, The Main Squeeze Orchestra is every wildest accordion dream come true. These 12 gals with accordions, conducted by local accordion master Walter Kuhr, deliver a rare and irresistible repertoire (Bach, Queen, Joy Division, Madonna and more) that has been enchanting New York audiences since 2002.
