So, I was I an antique store about 8 years ago and found an accordion in
a case and surprisingly thought – \u201cI have to have that!\u201d– never mind that
it was around 40 pounds and way too heavy for me.
That was the beginning\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since then, I took my first lessons with Emilian Badea (he also sold me a more
appropriate accordion). And more recently, I have been studying with
Merima Kljuco who lives in Sarajevo (thank you Zoom). With Merima, I am studying Klezmer and Sephardic music which I love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RUK orchestra has been great as well for the camaraderie and music that
David selects and coordinates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
