...music and good friends.SupaDupa took the stage first, and its colorful costuming (each member is dressed in a different color of the rainbow) matched their retro musical style. A crisp trumpet threaded many of their songs, and they used several less conventional instruments, such as a cello and an accordion. The songs were enchantingly upbeat, and SupaDupa clearly enjoyed themselves as much if not more than the audience. The Pears were next. The sheer enthusiasm and energy of their performance galvanized the audience. They transitioned seamlessly from one song to the next, and a sea of heads bobbed...
...Thomas Michel ’77 considers himself the leading accordionist among the deans of Harvard Medical School. During the summer, the Dean of Education at HMS, specialist in cardiovascular medicine, MCB 234 professor, and multi-instrumentalist (piano, violin and accordion) takes his talent to the streets of Harvard Square. One might have spotted Michel last summer playing Klezmer music with Ted Sharpe ’76, a computational biologist at The Broad Institute at MIT and an amateur fiddle player. Michel and Sharpe are not the only street performers who boast an impressive resume of academic credentials and musical...
...what pop can be. Not that you can tell from the hooks. Produced by Greg Kurstin of the retro-pop duo the Bird and the Bee, the music robs every genre it can in the pursuit of anything that might stick in your ears.

...given Allen enough confidence to explore and experiment here. It’s refreshing to hear ska, jazz, and techno influences slipping into her pop beats. In one track on the new album, “Never Gonna Happen,” Allen uses folksy strings and an accordion, along with a handclap slowly building in tempo, to drill her message of rejection into the clueless head of an unwanted suitor. At the same time, though, she cleverly unravels admissions of ways in which she’s led the poor guy on, making her repeated question...
Situated on the western bank of the Danube, Budapest's Lánchíd 19 hotel is in many ways an extension of the river itself. Its accordion-like façade, constructed of movable glass panels, ebbs and flows with the rhythm of the water, thanks to a meteorological sensor on the hotel's roof. Decorated with images of life on the riverbank - crabs, snails and aluminum cans - the exterior panels light up at night, adding a touch of modernity to the historic riverside where 18th century Habsburg architecture prevails...
