Accordionists Sofia Chapman and Svetlana Bunic bring a playful, street level energy to Sunday Arts Magazine with their celebration of the accordion in the festival they describe as Freshly Squeezed. Drawing on upcoming performances at Wesley Anne, 250 High Street, Northcote, and Ragtime Tavern, 206 Tyler Street, Preston, they share their enthusiasm for intimate venues where audiences can sit close to the bellows and feel the music’s pulse. In conversation, Chapman and Bunic talk about the accordion’s versatility across folk, jazz and experimental traditions, and how their programming aims to showcase the instrument’s expressive range while building a community of players and listeners around these neighbourhood stages.
