About this Event

Accordion plus Strings brings together four extraordinary rising stars from the prestigious Young Concert Artists roster for an unforgettable chamber music experience that reimagines the possibilities of classical performance. Featuring internationally acclaimed accordionist Radu Ratoi, violinists Lun Li and Risa Hokamura, and cellist Benett Tsai, this dynamic ensemble combines virtuosity, innovation, and expressive artistry in a program that crosses musical boundaries and captivates audiences.

Their performances showcase the remarkable versatility of accordion and strings, blending classical masterworks with jazz-inspired rhythms, tango passion, and contemporary brilliance. Audiences can expect an exciting musical journey featuring works ranging from the energetic charm of Paul Schoenfield's Café Music to the elegance and drama of Astor Piazzolla's beloved Four Seasons. The ensemble's fresh approach, technical excellence, and engaging stage presence exemplify the mission of Young Concert Artists to introduce exceptional emerging talent to audiences across North America.

This special performance is presented as part of the Clarksville Community Concert Association's 75th Anniversary Season, celebrating seventy-five years of bringing world-class live music to our community. Following the concert, patrons are invited to remain for a special anniversary celebration honoring this milestone in CCCA's history and looking ahead to the future of live music in Clarksville.
