"Count Me In" is chamber music with a serious groove. Beethoven kicks things off with his delightfully cheeky Kakadu Variations—a slow burn that builds into a full-blown romp. From there, it’s all in: Piazzolla’s tango fire, Gabriela Lena Frank’s folkloric brilliance, and original works by Stas Venglevski that blur the lines between dance, drama, and pure joy.
With the accordion in the spotlight, plus a devilish dash of John Williams and a final swirl of La Cumparsita, this concert is a rhythmic, joy-fueled celebration of musical togetherness.
The program includes Ludwig van Beethoven's Variations in G major on “Ich bin der Schneider Kakdu,” Op. 121a; Stas Venglevski's Not a Clue, Stasera, Two-Step, Hey Polka, Love and Pigeons, October Rondo, and Spring Dance; Gabriela Lena Frank's Four Folk Songs; John Williams' "Devil’s Dance" from The Witches of Eastwick; Gerardo Matos Rodríguez's La Cumparsita; and Astor Piazzolla's "Verano Porteño" from The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.
