| The Accordionaires Orchestra will present a concert on Tuesday November 15th, 7pm, at Victorio's Ristorante, 10901 Victory Blvd (at Vineland), North Hollywood, CA. (818-762-9000). The Los Angeles based Accordionaires Orchestra was founded in 1996 by former members of FOTA (Friends of the Accordion). Within the next 18 months the first Accordionaires Ensemble was organized by Paul LaVoe and Pat Striplin. The original members of the group included Paul Carr, Woody Tracey, Joe Blasco, Bill Maxwell, Paul Scafeddi, Pat Striplin, Matt Jacobs, and Paul LaVoe as the Director. In November 1999 Paul LaVoe became seriously ill and Pat Striplin took over as director. Pat also served as Club President and newsletter editor. In April 2000, Tony Lovello performed for the Accordionaires as a guest artist. Carl and Janet Hane, two long time friends of Tony came for the event and later joined the Club. 2001 Carl Hane became Director and Janet Hane joined the ensemble as well. Carl Hane passed away February 2004. Pat Striplin temporarily took the baton until Janet Hane became MD later that year. Since then the Ensemble has become the Accordionaires Orchestra with 20 performing members. Janet Hane, accordion performer and teacher is the conductor of The Accordionaires Orchestra. Currently residing in Westlake Village, California, Janet is busy with a continuous schedule of professional solo appearances, private lessons and master classes.
