Event Navigation

Bridge and Wolak

For over 10 years, Bridge & Wolak have been having a ball twisting up classical music, folk traditions, and improv comedy. Their Bach to Benny Goodman Tour (2022) made stops in 5 Canadian provinces and 15 US states. Equally dedicated to education, they founded the Bridge & Wolak Music Mentorship Program in 2020—an online program for high-schoolers to explore careers in the arts.

As the only duo to fuse digital accordion and acoustic clarinet, Michael Bridge (accordions & piano) and Kornel Wolak (clarinet & piano) create all their own repertoire. With deft virtuosity and endless wit, Bridge & Wolak have been called the “Victor Borges of the 21st Century.”

Dr. Bridge & Dr. Wolak are widely known for their commitment to education through their mentorship program and university teaching. In collaboration with Queen’s University (where Dr. Wolak is Assistant Professor of clarinet), B&W premiered their full show with orchestra, TANGORIUM, in 2022. “Watch and be amazed!” —CBC
