On November 2, 2014, the Accordion Pops Orchestra entertained at Hunterdon Hills Playhouse in West Hampton, New Jersey  -in tribute to world renowned accordionist, Carmen Carrozza.  

The concert was fabulous! So much talent! Al Terzo conducted the 33 piece orchestra. Lenny Feldmann served as Commentator and Master of Ceremonies. Dan Desiderio, long time leader of the NJ Pops, was guest conductor, who was really happy to be up on that podium again, and  felt right at home. The orchestra members loved having Dan there too!

Havard Svensrud from Scandinavia was guest accordion soloist.

Accordion champion, Lou Coppola  strolled and performed with the Stereo Strings. Rosemarie Cavanaugh, orchestra member and hostess,  assembled a fantastic display of Carmen Carrozza memorabilia, and even made chocolate candy accordion favors for all of the dinner guests –  including Anita and Bob Siarkowski from Plantsville, Connecticut.

The food and the service were great. The entertainment was wonderful. A goodtime was had by all 150 people in attendance!
