SEQUIM — Shipley Center will host an accordion social from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
A donation of $2 or $3 is suggested at the door at 921 E. Hammond St.
Accordion players, enthusiasts and dancers will gather for an afternoon of music.
Players of all levels are encouraged to bring instruments to play one to three pieces.
The featured group for the second half of the afternoon will be the Bonnie Birch Trio from Seattle.
Birch began studying the accordion at age 7 and focused mainly on classical-style playing.
She entered and won many competitions, which resulted in a performance at Carnegie Hall.
After a computer science career, she resumed accordion playing with a whole new approach.
Birch plays professionally for many types of events in the Northwest, including restaurants and dances; French, German and Italian festivals; and the Seattle Art Museum.
She will be joined by guitarist Nick Heiting and tuba player Paul Ostler, musicians she has worked with for more than 15 years.
