Nick Ballarini, accordionist, pianist and bandleader, will perform an accordion concert featuring the music of Italy on Dec. 1 at the W. K. Gordon Center in Thurber.

The free concert will begin with Italian food and refreshments at 6 p.m. at the museum.

Italians constituted the largest element of Thurber’s immigrant population, bringing with them a rich cultural history and leaving their mark on the community.
