Welcome to Bartell Music Foundation

As the President of the Bartell Music Foundation, I am privileged to lead an organization that is deeply committed to fostering musical talent and preserving cultural traditions through the accordion and music opportunities.

Music has the unique power to connect communities and inspire creativity in people of all ages, particularly in our youth.

Our foundation’s mission is to provide opportunities for children to explore their musical abilities, irrespective of their financial circumstances. Through scholarships and our very own accordion competitions and festivals, we cultivate a positive environment that nurtures young musicians and upholds the rich heritage of the accordion.

Your support and involvement make it possible for us to continue this work.

Together, we can ensure that the joy of music, and the values it instills, are accessible to all and preserved for future generations.

Thank you for joining us to help transform one child at a time.

Testimonials

Seeing my son, Anthony, light up every time he comes back from his music lessons is truly heartwarming. The Bartell Music Foundation has not only provided him with the chance to learn from the best but also to be part of a community that celebrates his passion. We can’t thank you enough!

I never knew how much I’d love playing the accordion until I got a scholarship from the Bartell Music Foundation. Every lesson feels like I’m discovering something amazing about myself and I feel inspired and encouraged every single week. I'm so grateful that I get this chance and this scholarship. Thank you!

Participating in the accordion competition was very special for me. It pushed me to practice harder and perform my best. Thanks to the Bartell Music Foundation, I’ve met some of the best accordionist in the world. That was really cool. I can't wait till the next competition.
