Ksenija Sidorova is playing in the Proms this evening. For those having access to BBC I think you can listen in.

Doesn't get much better than this for the profile of the accordion in the UK!

Terrific engagement from the performer with the audience in a way that very few musicians could equal. Couldn't get a better possible promotion for the accordion in the UK, especially as a real musical instrument in the most prestigious Proms concert of the season.

True.
But a bit of a shame she was drowned out by the orchestra most of the time.
She should have got a solo piece to play, maybe next time.

I watched her performance on the BBC tv channel broadcast from the Royal albert Hall in London last night .

She is without doubt the Total Package ...awesome musical talent , beautiful , and has charisma which she can naturally project to the Audience .

Yes I agree, next time would love to see her play solo but I think they will always want to use the orchestra .
It was a wonderful evening , I hope we see more of her and that she has continued success ....Good luck to her !!!
