The estimable accordionist William Schimmel -- or Dr. Schimmel, as the Library's promotional materials insist on calling him -- curates and participates in a week-long accordion festival.  The daytime shows take place during library hours in the Library's Vincent Astor Gallery and you can wander in and out at will throughout the day; the ticketed (but still free) Monday after-hours show is in the Bruno Walter Auditorium.   That ticketed evening show is undoubtedly the pick of the week, providing a general overview.  Beyond that, I'd note the Punkordion show on Friday -- featuring, among many others, the ubiquitous-this-week Elliott Sharp.  But really any of them will be pretty great.
