"The Classical Four + 1" string-style all Accordion Quartet is comprised of four women who began as members of The Yale Accordion Studio, Orchestra and Ensemble. Under the original direction of virtuoso conductors, arrangers and teachers Oakley and Melba Yale; these musicians developed the technical dexterity to produce sounds that emulate the instrumental spectrum of a string quartet. Each member boasts 20+ years education through The Yale Accordion Studio.

“The Classical Four + 1” is dedicated to presenting master orchestral works through the voice of the Accordion. Their range and versatility is as unique as it is enchanting and they boast a repertoire that embraces the superior musicianship and works of such grand composers as - Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Puccini, Strauss, Faure, Debussy, Devorak, Borodin, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Widor, Anderson, Brubeck and Piazzolla.

Thanks for the add! I'd love to hear your group. If ever you need a ringer or have extra parts, let me know! I miss playing W. classical accordion orchestra music.
Hope you can see some of the groups I work with too! All the best!!!

"Blue Rondo à la Turk" was amazing... The five of you sounded incredible on Sunday -- thanks for putting your music out there! :) You gave me one of the nicest Sundays in a while.

The show at the Carson Dominguez Ballroom was amazing!
The first song made me cry.
Literally.
I teared up the minute the song started, and by the time all four accordians chimed in, tears were streaming down my face- a reaction I was NOT expecting from myself.
I guess I have issues.
No seriously, the music was amazing and it moved me.
I teared up thru 3 others songs as well.
Thank you so much for putting on such a wonderful show- I thoroughly enjoyed it.
