Ksenija Sidorova is an extraordinary artist, bringing to the stage an instrument she has helped to renew in contemporary concert life. The accordion has long been associated with old black-and-white films, the busking tradition, and is most often seen played by older men. In Sidorova’s hands, there is a clear reverence for its tradition alongside a fresh and contemporary perspective. Her appeal lies in her expressive stage presence, strong musicality, and the remarkable technical control she brings to the instrument.
