Details:
Emilio Magnotta is a very talented and young accordion player. He began playing the accordion when he was just 5 years old. A friend of his motherâs gave him an accordion to play with. From the moment the accordion was placed in his hands, a passion awoke in Emilio to play it. He studied the accordion under the accomplished accordion player Cliff Scholl. Mr. Scholl was a student of Pietro Frosini. Mr. Scholl wrote accordion books and conducted concerts including ones at Carnegie Hall. Under the instruction of Cliff Scholl, Emilioâs passion for the accordion grew. He studied with him for 18 years. Emilio continues to be inspired by the great accordion players before him. His greatest idols and influences have been the works of Carmen Carrozza, Pietro Frosini, Charlie Magnante and Pietro Deiro. Emilio continues to perfect his skills in the hopes to one day be considered as great as his idols. Emilio plays a wide range of music from Italian folklore to Classical music. Emilio shares his love of the accordion and music as he entertains audiences in many different venues such as private parties, corporate functions and outdoor festivals.
