Dr. William Schimmel, a classically-trained accordionist, returns classic repertoire he learned in conservatory with an inflection of tango influence. He has performed with virtually every ensemble in New York, including the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. Master accordionist Dr. Schimmel returns to our stage, this time in a solo concert of classical favorites played as tangos. Dr. Schimmel’s accomplishments in the tango genre were made famous through his album Tango Project albums, the first of which reached #1 on the Billboard charts.
