I recently learned that June is National Accordion Awareness Month! Although the instrument is often heard in musical genres such as polkas, zydeco, folk, blues and more, it has an ancient history with its ancestors dating back thousands of years. You can read more about the instrument (and National Accordion Awareness Month) using the link below. And today’s Beautiful Music features the talented accordionist Elena Chiaramello performing the Fantasie and Fugues in a BWV 561 by Johann Sebastian Bach.
