What Makes Us Unique?
PAAC is 15 years old, founded by Enrico Mastro-Nardi, an alumnus of the Andy Rizzo Accordion School in Chicago and a classmate of Art Van Damme, Arthur Metzler and Manny Quartucci.
The club has embarked this summer on an accordion instruction program in conjunction with the Peoria Parks System and is providing accordions for all participants.
The PAAC band rehearses twice a month, including prior to the monthly meeting and program, and has been performing about 60 engagements annually in recent years for nursing homes, community groups, fraternal organizations, etc.
