Bridge & Wolak are a globe-trotting duo from Canada who create life-affirming concerts full of beauty, virtuosity and humor.

Michaael Bridge on accordion, and Kornel Wolak on clarinet (both also play the piano) met over a decade ago and immediately established an artistic alliance based on the attraction of opposites: Wolak is intensely focused with a world view infused with a large slice of sardonic humor. Where Bridge is flexible, fearless and exhibits a playful wit. Their commonality is a love of classical, jazz and world music with a passion for performance.

Growing up in Calgary, Bridge began playing at age 5 when his mother purchased an accordion for $5.00 at a garage sale. A family friend taught him to play by ear with formal lessons beginning at age 7. He received his Doctor of Musical Arts Degree from the University of Toronto and was a Rebanks Fellows at the Glenn Gould School in Toronto.
