     Eric Bradler (Accordion) is not your typical accordion player.  As the new head of the classical accordion program at Lamont, his vision is to promote the accordion as a chamber ensemble instrument, using its versatility as a substitute for the more traditional piano or organ.  Mr. Bradler began his study of classical accordion at the age of seven with Kim Christian and completed a BA and MM at the University of Denver with Robert Davine.  He has won many awards of distinction including ATG National champion, the Frank Toth memorial award, and 7-time RMAS Open Virtuoso Solo Champion. He has performed with a variety of ensembles including the Da Vinci String Quartet, Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Colorado Opera, and Cabrillo Festival Orchestra under the direction of Marin Alsop. In addition to his work with the accordion, Mr. Bradler serves as a lecturer in the Music Theory and Aural Skills Department at Lamont, and as principal accompanist at St. Mary Catholic Church in Littleton.
