The Connecticut Acccordion Association began in 2004, the brainchild of Marilyn O’Neil and her accordion teacher, Mary Tokarski. The CAA is dedicated to the promotion of the accordion through all music genres and all variations of accordion instruments!

They welcome musicians who play all types of accordions….piano accordion, diatonic, chromatic button and more. They invite accordionists at all levels, and people who may not play the accordion, but love to listen.

CAA President Marilyn O’Neil shares, “We did it again! And more to come! We just had a hugely successful concert at the Pequot Library on October 19, 2024! Thanks to the efforts of CAA member Sandy Zera, we played a variety of pieces to a packed audience! Solo vocalist Mary Periera and CAA orchestra member Charles Fanghella sang pieces by George Gershwin and Neil Diamond respectively. “The Friendship Choir” organized by David Harris sang pieces by Mozart and W. Howe. Another example of how an accordion orchestra can do it all!

We reached out to Wakelee Elementary School in Wolcott and expect to have some young vocalists join us for this very special event! Many thanks to the Mattatuck Museum who always welcomes the accordion to its beautiful performance center!”

The CAA is a proud Affiliate of the American Accordionists’ Association (AAA)
