Details:
QUARTETTO AMOROSO presents this collection of Italian North american dance music as it was heard at weddings, festivals, balls, and parties in the former years of the Twentieth Century. The arrangements are derived from original sheet music, and capture the original magic of the polkas, waltzes, tangos, and mazurkas that graced so many special occasions.
A note about the polka Sorpresa ai Danzanti (A Surprise to the Dancers): In the sheet music the composer calls for the laughter you hear from the musicians at certain points in the music ("Ridere forte").
Based in Northern California, Quartetto Amoroso often performs at events in the Napa Valley at the renowned wineries, where visitors savor the spirited Italian North american legacy of great winemaking and wonderful music.
Ron Borelli (accordion) has performed with the San Francisco Symphony, Diablo Ballet Orchestra, Santa Rosa Symphony, and San Francisco Opera, and was featured at the Three Tenors concert at the San Jose Arena. In addition, he instructs and performs at the Las Vegas International Accordion
Convention.
