Mike Schneider Presents the History of Polka Music
Help celebrate National Polka Month with the Wisconsin Historical Society! Join six-time polka hall of fame accordion player, Mike Schneider, for an entertaining presentation highlighting Wisconsin’s Official State Dance, tracing the history of polka music from its Eastern European roots to the dance halls and festivals of our state and beyond. As this presentation incorporates live polka music, don’t be surprised when your toes start tapping!
Schneider first began playing accordion at the age of six after hearing America’s Polka King Frankie Yankovic perform in Milwaukee—and since then, Schneider has made it his mission to spread the history and culture of polka music across the world.
