BRIAN HUBRICH,

He worked 5 years as a U.S. Weltmeister accordion
salesman, technician, and demonstrator. For 2 years he
operated his own music school for children, having 100
students at its peak, 40 of whom were accordionists. He
won Sandy City’s 2002 award for “Best Commercial
Band” and with his students holds the state record for
the largest Marching Accordion Orchestra.
He will play popular, classical, semi-classical,
and musical parodies. He plays piano and chromatic
accordions. Also an accordion funster, “I may bring my
vacuum powered accordion for kicks,” he says. Brian is
in his last year of a Bachelor of Music Performance
degree at Southern Utah University in Cedar City and is
also a Sky West Airlines flight attendant. Upon
graduation, “I plan to go back into entertaining full
time, performing at city celebrations, company parties,
and do contract entertainment for amusement parks and
carnivals.”
The evening will get off to a great start with a
number from the “PLAY
ALONG PLAYERS,” showing their preps for their
August 16 debut at Salt Lake City’s Italian “Ferragosto!”
Festival, followed by 12-year-old accordion student NATHAN

this summer’s French Alliance
Francaise Park City event.
