The New England Digital Accordion Orchestra in its fifth season of public performances as the only act of its kind in the USA performed at the Spencer Fair, in central Mass., on Saturday, August 31, 2019 on the West Gate Stage and will perform again on September 17, 2019 at the Eastern States Exposition, West Springfield, Ma.-(Big E-3rd largest fair in the USA), with total attendance at one million two hundred thousand attendees. The orchestra will perform on the Storrowton Stage and Gazebo from 3:30-5:PM.

Formed and conducted by nationally recognized accordionist and music educator Sam Falcetti of Wilbraham,Ma., the orchestra of 21 players hail from across New England and harness their digitally enhanced accordions in a variety of musical styles.

The fair-goers will be treated to a full orchestral spectrum of sound, including show pieces, rock ‘n’roll, jazz standards and a selection of ethnic/cultural favorites from around the world and from the American songbook. The Orchestra is complimented by drums, percussion, guitar and vocalists. Audiences often find themselves joining in song and dancing along. There are horn and wind sections, strings, guitars and rhythm sections, all true tones coming from these digital accordions. Each instrument is “an orchestra in a box” that can blend the range of tones, said Falcetti, retired founder of Springfield, Massachusetts based Falcetti Music. “Close your eyes and you won’t believe you’re hearing an orchestra of accordions!”

This Orchestra prides itself on the entertainment factor by putting on not just a concert but a well diversified program of soloists, a duet playing French waltzes, a trio marching with fife, bagpipes and a harnessed snare drum, performing Scottish music, and a sextet of Dixieland players. “New York, New York, Celebration, Beatles, James Bond and Star Wars medleys are a few of the well known selections they perform. All of the arrangements being performed were orchestrated by Quincy Jones and John Franceschina.

The Orchestra’s final concert for 2019 will be in Chatham, Ma. on Cape Cod at their “First Night” New Year’s Eve celebration.
