The ACCORDIONS NOW! 2011 Festival Orchestra will be conducted by Donna Maria Regis in “A Musical Tribute of Thanks to Tony Lovello”. Come see and hear for yourself why Tony Lovello is called “The Entertainers’ Entertainer,” “The King of the Bellow Shake,” and, as the National Accordion Association has anointed him, “The Living Legend of the Accordion World.” You will read more about Tony in the July USA News.
How can one man any age — much less one 78 years old! — possess such enormous physical energy and such prodigious musical talent –all tied up with a bow of irrepressible humor? Tony Lovello is truly one of a kind!
The ACCORDIONS NOW! 2011 Festival Orchestra [AN!FO] offers a musical tribute to cherished friend and mentor, Tony Lovello. The idea for a New England accordion festival was inspired by Tony’s performance at the first concert ever to be co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Accordion Association and Accordion Connection LLC.
Register by July 22 if you want to be part of this special program honoring Tony Lovello and his music. Individual parts will be sent in advance.
