The Brooklyn Accordion Club on Sunday, March 4, 2018, 2-4:PM presents “Repair Presentation/Performance” by Emilio Magnotta of Emilio Accordions.

Emilio is an accordionist who specializes in Italian, Folk, American Standards and light classical music. He began playing the accordion when he was 5 years old. A friend of his mother gave him an accordion to play with. From the moment the accordion was placed in his hands, a passion awoke in Emilio to play it.

He studied the accordion under the accomplished accordion player, Cliff Scholl, who was a student of Pietro Frosini. Mr. Scholl wrote accordion books and conducted concerts including ones at Carnegie Hall. Under the instruction of Cliff Scholl, Emilio’s passion for the accordion grew.

Emilio continues to be inspired by the great accordion players before him. His greatest idols and influences have been the works of Carmen Carrozza, Pietro Frosini, Charlie Magnante and Pietro Deiro. Emilio continues to perfect his skills in the hopes to one day be considered as great as his idols. Emilio shares his love of the accordion and music as he entertains audiences in many different venues such as private parties, corporate functions and outdoor festivals. Emilio also repairs and sells accordions of all brands and sizes.

Emilio’s workshop takes place at the new BAC meeting site at Great Room at the LuEsther T. Mertz South Oxford Space/A.R.T.
