Guy Klucevsek in Concert in Brooklyn, New York - USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 A very memorable and enjoyable experience for me on May 18th, was a solo concert presented by accordionist/composer Guy Klucevsek at Barbes in Brooklyn, New York. Each time I hear Guy in performance, I am always intrigued, educated, and entertained by his unique style and personal anecdotes about his compositions.The venue was a packed standing room only program attended by almost 50 people. Guy's musical creativity is so very expressive and enjoyable revealing many emotions and his sensitive nature. I also loved his fun side .... titles of the pieces and use of percussive capabilities on the accordion. Guy Klucevsek is one of the world’s most versatile and highly-respected accordionists. He has premiered over 50 solo accordion pieces, including his own, as well as those he has commissioned. His program included: • Altered Landscapes (1993), commissioned by David Dorfman Dance Company. • Three Microids (1991), in memory of Béla Bartok. 1. My Right Foot, on the Other Hand 2.
