Michael Ward-Bergman did a phenomenal accordian performance at a home in Santa Fe of folk music from around the world. Michael studied piano at the Berklee College of Music, the best jazz school on the planet, and this was evident in his performance. He also used folk percussion instruments, at times with a stereo tape loop that produced extraordinary results! He is in the middle of a 365 day tour, in which he plays a minimum of 35 minutes of music in a concert each day in a wide range of venues, including prisons and hospitals. Part of this journey is to accumulate more folk music of every variety. Michael also plays in concert halls, such as SF Chamber Music Festival's recent performance of Golijov's song cycle Ayre with Dawn Upshaw.
