 Donna Maria Regis has returned from a very successful Midwest concert tour. She was extremely honored to be the first female concert soloist to perform at A World of Accordions Museum/Harrington ARTS Center in Superior, Wisconsin. Her October 2nd performance won standing ovations and garnered TV coverage by ABC, NBC, and Fox affiliates. The ABC and NBC evening newscasts aired video clips from the actual concert. Fox ran an entire segment featuring a pre-concert interview with her. Donna Maria's appearance in Superior was part of a recent concert tour in which she paid musical tribute to several composers/arrangers for the accordion, among them Aldo DeRossi (her late cousin), Tony Lovello, Charles Magnante, and Frank Ricchio. At the museum not only did Regis perform DeRossi's music, she also presented significant archival materials - recordings, unpublished manuscripts, sheet music, etc, to augment the existing DeRossi exhibit. On behalf of the museum Helmi Strahl Harrington, Ph.D., was delighted to accept these important contributions to the museum. Friendly audiences and standing ovations greeted Donna Maria Regis throughout her tour, which added 3619 miles to her car's odometer. |
