Cory Pesaturo is on the forefront of making the accordion cool again. He is known for playing a wide variety of genres from Classical to Techno. His performances have ranged from 4 times at the White house, to the David Letterman show with Johnny Depp. He was accepted with 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 is the first person to win World Championships in Digital, Acoustic, and Jazz Accordion. He holds the Guinness World Record for the Longest Accordion Playing.
Besides the accordion, he is also respected for his statistical work in meteorology, working on articles about hurricanes and winter weather, and also in the field of motorsports history. Speaking of motorsports, Cory has
an ongoing relationship with the Red-Bull Formula 1 Team as well. We honor Cory, a convention favorite, as this year’s Honorary Conductor. Congratulations Cory – and welcome to this exclusive family of accordion greats!
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 studying 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 finished his masters at the University of Music – Lausanne, Switzerland and is now teaching at the University of Auckland. One of the things Grayson enjoys is playing golf badly. We are
thrilled to have this energetic, world-class performer and 2018 Honorary Conductor return to the stage.

Professor Joan 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 and we are so honored to have her perform & conduct.
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 twelfth year. Joan is a true inspiration; she projects an energy & enthusiasm that inspires us all! Thank you Joan – you are amazing!

In September of 2016 he was awarded the MERIT AWARD Lifetime Achievement Award in Rostov on Don (Russia). Added to his long list of accomplishments, Antonio has studied conducting and has conducted several symphony
orchestras in Italy and abroad. We warmly welcome Antonio. Be sure to check out his class on preparing to play – he promises to have you laughing!

Ginny Mac, with her vivacious Texas charm and undeniable talent, was discovered at the Las Vegas International Accordion Convention back in 2002 when, as a young teenager, she was a Deiro Scholarship recipient. One evening with Ginny and you will have traveled to the West Texas plains, reminiscent of Bob Wills’ soaring fiddle tunes, or perhaps to a sidewalk café in Paris, or to a two-step or tango under the Texas skies. Hailing from Fort Worth, TX, Ginny Mac brings a fresh and exciting twist to vocal and instrumental styling in the Country West Swing, Americana, Hot Jazz and International music genres. We welcome Ginny back to our 20th celebration!
When she is not busy with an active touring schedule, Ginny is writing and arranging new original music for an upcoming album and collaborating on multiple musical projects. Her other passions include
blogging, painting, and recently - exploring the world of photography.

Steve & Michael Trucco are a 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!
