Steven Bell is a performer and teacher of the accordion and piano. His band, Celtara, has been inciting toe-tapping in audiences of western Canada (and Nova Scotia!) since 2005 and continues to produce fresh and exciting ’new world’ Celtic music. Steve studied classical music through the Royal Conservatory of Music program as well as composition and recording arts at Grant MacEwan College (now MacEwan University). He has a love for writing music and his compositions, new and old, are often heard when he plays for Westwood Unitarian services.
