Marissa Falcetti


The New England Digital Accordion Orchestra has been invited again to perform at the Sturbridge Ma. 2022 Concert Series. The program takes place on Thursday, July 14, 2022 Sturbridge Concerts on the Common. The time of the performance is 6:PM to 8:PM at Sturbridge Common, Route 131 (across from the Publick House).
The New England Digital Accordion Orchestra is the nation’s first-ever digital accordion orchestra and is a leading force in the evolution of the world of the accordion! Roland V digital accordions, which first appeared in 2004, are a far cry from the old family “squeeze boxes”. They reproduce virtually every musical instrumental sound through a technology that’s as versatile as it is portable. One accordionist aptly described this instrument as “an orchestra in a box!”
The New England Digital Accordion Orchestra was formed in 2015 and is conducted by internationally recognized accordionist and music educator, Anselmo (Sam) Falcetti of Wilbraham, Massachusetts. The digital orchestra is complemented by drums, percussion, guitar, and vocalists. The Orchestra currently features 20 players representing four of the six New England States.
Nowadays, the old reed accordions may create sounds that are “cool”, but it’s the 21st century digital accordion that makes the instrument sound really “hot”! When is an accordion not just an accordion? You’ll find the answer as you watch the New England Digital Accordion Orchestra create a musical entertainment that is lively and varied. You won’t be disappointed, in fact, you’ll be amazed!
