Accordions on tour

In recent decades the accordion has gradually increased its visibility as a classical music instrument. Scottish accordionist Paul Chamberlain was one of the first classical accordionists to graduate from the the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and his debut solo album was released in 2011. His latest CD includes repertoire from Scarlatti and Weber to Piazzolla and Zolatariev, and he will be releasing the album this summer to coincide with his summer 2014 concert tour. Launching at the 1901 Arts Club on 1 July, the tour takes in a variety of venues in London to Scotland between 1 July and 9 August. Further information from Paul Chamberlain's website.
