Bio

Penny Sanborn’s accordion music captures the hearts of her listeners. She is known for performing lyrical melodies along with high spirited dance pieces. She is a crowd favourite due to her polished sound and warm personality on stage.

Penny performs an attractive collection of Continental European music including French Musette, Italian and Tango. One hears the Folk melodies at heart, the technique of Classical music, along with the improvisation of Jazz. It is a fresh, new style of treating this traditional music.

She entertains for events ranging from concerts, to formal dinners, wedding receptions, and corporate events. She is also a steady entertainer at restaurants. She performs on solo accordion and also in combinations with other professional musicians on vocals, guitar and bass.

Penny holds a Bachelor of Music degree, with distinction, from the University of Calgary in both Composition and Accordion Performance. Penny also teaches accordion lessons, composes and arranges music. Her music instruction is from Bill Macen, her long-time accordion teacher of 22 years, University Jazz instructor Warren Rowley, and lessons from Peter Soave, Mady Soave & Jean-Louis Noton of France at an International Accordion Music Camp.

Her performance credits include Luciano Pavarotti, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Filumena Opera Orchestra, Land’s End Chamber Ensemble, the University of Calgary Symphonic Band, the University of Calgary Wind Emsemble and the Calgary Concert Band. Penny lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and performs both in Canada and abroad, including countries as France, Italy and Switzerland. Her experience and class make any event exceptional and memorable.
