Eugene Ettore Memorial Website

November 1st 2010

A new website is under development that is devoted to preserving the memory and works of Eugene Ettore, composer, arranger, accordionist, inventor, teacher and more! Click Eugene Ettore to view.

We hope that you will return often to this site to read the continuing updates of information about his life and music.

Eugene Ettore made a very important and valuable contribution, not only to the accordion world, but the entire musical world as you will see during your travels through this web site.

The Eugene Ettore Memorial website has been developed over the past year by myself (former student of Eugene Ettore frequently performing his works) with the professional guidance of Harley Jones, (Accordions Worldwide founder) and Dr. Paul Cohen , highly respected and well known performer, teacher, historian, musicologist, publisher, and author, all related to classical saxophone.

Special thanks go to Eugene Ettore’s daughter, Carol Ettore Asimou who generously provided many of the original articles, photos, etc. which you will see on this web site.

It would be greatly appreciated if any readers who have further information, photos, articles, etc. about Eugene Ettore, would kindly scan and send to Ritabelll@aol.com or mail the original materials to Rita Davidson, 183 Clarken Drive, West Orange, New Jersey, 07052. I will send the originals back promptly to the owners after scanning.

All the published accordion music of Eugene Ettore is now listed on the website including information of where to purchase. Accordion compositions never published before, will soon be made available by MusicForAccordion.com and also listed on this website.

Future plans also include releasing a CD of Eugene Ettore’s original accordion compositions in early 2011 with details to follow. Thanking you all in advance for visiting this site.
