Cory Pesaturo is an American musician from Cumberland, Rhode Island. He was accepted on the accordion at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, MA, where he became the second person to major in and graduate as an accordionist. Cory became the first American to win a World Accordion Championship since Peter Soave 25 years earlier. He has studied and continues to play a variety of musical styles including jazz, folk, and classical music.

Cory is a young, extremely talented, energetic accordionist who brings to the stage an incredible breadth of experience. Besides the accordion, he is also respected for his statistical work in meteorology, and his authoring of articles about hurricanes and winter weather. Owing to an

overwhelming demand, we welcome our friend Cory back!

Grayson Masefield is a world-recognized accordionist. We could say he has the accordion in his genes. Besides having two accordion-teaching parents, he grew up playing in the North Shore Accordion Orchestra and went on to begin his classical training at Auckland University - then on to France with Frédéric Deschamps.

Grayson, in 2009, became the first person ever to win the prestigious Coupe Mondiale Virtuoso Classical and the Coupe Mondiale Virtuoso Entertainment awards in the same year back to back. In 2010 he won the Trophée Mondial Classique World Accordion Championship and has since retired from competitions. He has finished his masters with full marks in his final year at the University of Music – Lausanne, Switzerland. We are thrilled to have this young, energetic, world-class performer return to the stage this year for his third appearance. We honor Grayson as this year’s

Honorary Conductor. Congratulations Grayson!

Professor Sommers has become an annual favorite. What the Professor can do with just three short days of rehearsals is as miraculous as the sound she obtains from the orchestra. It is truly inspiring! Professor Emeritus Sommers has been honored numerous times by associations all over the world.

Joan is a talented arranger for the accordion orchestra and says it is constantly on her mind, making it difficult for her to just listen to music as background. When she listens, she hears and analyzes the specific sounds, the techniques used and the form of the composition. In her words this is both a curse and a blessing. Although she has now retired, Joan continues to teach and conduct – things she loves to do. Joan will be conducting the Las Vegas International Accordion Orchestra for the eleventh year. She was the recipient of last year’s Tenth Anniversary Honorary Baton Award. Joan projects an energy & enthusiasm that inspires us all!

We are excited to welcome Stas back to Las Vegas. His artistry, dazzling technical command, and sensitivity have brought Stas increasing acclaim as a virtuoso of the Bayan. Stanislav "Stas" Venglevski, was a native of the Republic of Moldova, part of the former Soviet Union. In 1992 he immigrated to the United States.

Stas is an accordionist, a musician, an arranger, an entertainer and a teacher.

Mike was raised with accordions from birth. His father, Joseph Zampiceni, was a noted musician. For Mike, accordions were part of his household from day one! At age 8, Mike began formal accordion studies and by 11 was playing for paid engagements. He joined his father’s orchestra at 14 and by 17 he was the leader of his own band.

Mike went on to earn a master’s degree in music from San Jose State University. Mike is a master of bellow phrasing and dynamics and has a great improvisational style.

Mike will be offering an informative workshop on improvisation. Mike has been gracious enough to perform as a

strolling accordionist during dinner on Tuesday evening. Thanks Mike for returning!

This father and son duo from Stockton, CA, has been playing together for over twenty years. Steve still plays with the same four-piece group in the Stockton area from his youth. Steve’s son, 42-year-old Michael, has been playing the accordion since he was 9 years old. He began playing professionally with his father’s group and then later on his own.

The Truccos play waltzes and polkas including music from the forties and fifties with Michael adding vocals. Their unique style has been honed to an art. Playing together the two seem to meld into one. Maybe being father and son has something to do with that. Come hear the Trucco’s performance Monday evening.

At age 6, Paul began taking piano lessons but by age 8 asked his parents if he could play “that big thing” that Myron Floren played on TV. By the time he was in college, he was playing professionally. In graduate school he began importing and marketing electronic accordions. He recognized then that there was room for improvement in the midi accordions being sold. In 1993 Paul sold his shares in Colombo & Sons Accordion Corp. and spent two years developing and refining a state-of-the-art digital/acoustic instrument, which he christened the Concerto. The Concerto, now in it’s fourth generation, is the world’s first true digital accordion inside a quality acoustic accordion.

Two friends, Jim Duane from Salt Lake City and Gina Brannelli from the UK, both said, “Paul you should start an accordion convention!” He thought he

had better listen. Paul has made the time to handle all the details of presenting a top-notch international convention! Paul says, “Nineteen wonderful years have come and gone so quickly! But I must say how great it is creating a week of fun for accordion enthusiasts the world over – it has become like a family reunion each year!”

Gina, a big thank-you from all of us for imagining and inspiring these wonderful events back in 1998! Gina Brannelli, British accordion champion, has won many accordion awards in her lifetime. In her words, “I have played the piano from 5 years of age, but my entire stage career has always featured the accordion. I am proud to present the accordion, as it has been part of my family for three generations!” Gina toured for 12 years with Cunard Lines on the QE II. During this period, Gina continued to compose music and sold many of her works, which include several famous pop ballads. Today she teaches accordion, voice and piano. Beyond her many talents, you will find Gina to have a heart of gold,

which is reflected in her music and warm personality. Thank you Gina for inspiring us all!
