‘14 Years Ago’ – Puerto Rico Accordion Orchestra go to Italy in 1999by Rob Howard |
The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending July 2nd 1999 reported that the Puerto Rico Accordion Orchestra performed in Castelfidardo, Italy. It is good to know that in 1999 there was an accordion orchestra on Puerto Rico, but are they still active? Can anyone enlighten us? Puerto Rico Accordionists Visit Italy Contributed by Massimo Pigini, Manager, Pigini Accordion Factory The Puerto Rico Accordion Orchestra, featuring 20 musicians (conducted by Esther Eugenia Bertieaux), held a concert in the San Francesco Auditorium in Castelfidardo on June 18th during their recent tour.
