| The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending May 23rd 1997 included notice of a forthcoming concert at an AAA event, featuring many fine accordionists, including the great jazz player Tony Dannon, who died recently. The AAA continues to this day to do sterling work on behalf of accordionists in the US, thanks to the unstinting efforts of some very dedicated people. TRIBUTE CONCERT AT AAA FESTIVAL IN WASHINGTON, USA Contributed by Faithe Deffner, President of the American Accordionists' Association A bevy of accordion stars will perform at the gala Tribute Concert which will take place on Friday, July 11th, at 7pm in the Ballroom of the Sheraton City Centre Hotel, New Hampshire Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. The line up of star-studded performers includes accordion great Tony Dannon, jazz star Eddie Monteiro, pop musician Carmelo Pino, concert artist Peter Soave, entertainer Mario Tacca and songstress Mary Mancini, and the exciting K Trio comprised of Mary Tokarski, Julie Cardone and Walter Kasprzyk. The honorees are being cited at the Tribute Concert for 30 or more years on the American Accordionists' Association governing board. They are Maddalena Belfiore, Elsie Bennett, Carmen Carrozza, Lee (Pietro) Deiro, Aldo DeRossi, Anthony Ettore, Louis Iorio and Marcello Roviaro. These eight distinguished accordion personalities will be feted at a Testimonial Banquet the following evening, Saturday, July 12th, at which special entertainment will include the US Army Strolling Strings featuring accordionist Manuel Bobenreuth as well as other accordion notables. These events are part of AAA Accordion Festival from July 9th to 13th 1997 in Washington. |
