 Picture left: Rose-Marie Bruno and Lou Coppola, accordion champions, with their proud teacher Rudy Molinaro, 1955Rose-Marie Bruno Coppola passed away on November 28th, 2020 after bravely battling a long illness. Born in Connecticut, USA in 1939, she spent almost her entire life performing, promoting and teaching the accordion. An award-winning musician, Rose-Marie performed on the stage at Carnegie Hall in her teen years, and for US Presidents and other dignitaries, for decades, with her group The Strolling Strings. When her illness prevented her from playing, she enjoyed supporting accordionists in the Washington, DC area and at the AAA festivals. A lovely, kind, inspirational person to the end, Rose-Marie will be sadly missed! Picture below: The Coppola family in 1972. Both sons were award-winning accordionists.
