Scandalous Romantics
Michael Bridge, Digital Accordion & Piano + Kornel Wolak, Clarinet & Piano
“Scandalous Romantics” is a hilarious “tabloid” take on the stories behind the most celebrated music stars across genres – and their spectacular lapses in judgement.
Bridge & Wolak are a globe-trotting musical duo who create life-affirming concerts full of beauty, virtuosity and humor.
Michael Bridge, accordion, and Kornel Wolak, clarinet, share a love of classical, jazz and world music, a fascination with fusing genres and a passion for performance.
They create bold original programs that are irreverent, meticulously prepared and completely in-the-moment. They invite you to join them on their slightly unruly musical adventures, wherever they might lead.
“Fresh, exciting and fun, dispelling any of the old preconceptions about classical music…” – Barrie Examiner
