The workshop was a continuation of the masterclasses Grayson had made in Las Vegas, mostly focused on utilizing the body to help articulation, bellows control and finger technique.

Next travel was East to Spokane to the newly named Bartell Music Academy. Patricia Bartell organised a day of lessons with her students for both accordion and piano after which Grayson performed a full concert in her studio's concert venue.

While there, Grayson recorded a video of Joe Natoli's arrangement of Somewhere Over the Rainbow before flying to Victoria in Western Canada.

As part of the World Accordion and Tango Festival organised by Aleks Milojevic, they organised three pre-festival concerts in British Columbia. They invited past Trophee Mondial winners Jelena Milojevic, Tian Jianan and Grayson Masefield for the concerts which were held in Vancouver, Nanaimo and Salt Spring Island.

Accordion Shop Puts Squeeze on a Family Passion, Toronto – Canada

Rudy De Florio
Matt De FlorioExcerpts from The Toronto Star newspaper article written by Lisa Rainford

Family-owned Musical Instruments of Canada is one of the last businesses of its kind in Toronto and boasts a large selection of accordions. Formerly called De Florio Imports when it was founded by accordionist, the late Matt De Florio in 1960, his son Rudy now owns and operates the shop alongside sons Chris and Shawn — a third son, Neil, lives in Newfoundland. History from company website: MIC.pdf

Rudy De Florio began working at his dad’s studio and shop on Eglinton Ave. W., in Oakwood Village in 1966 when he was 17. “My father needed me for some repair work. That’s where I started,” De Florio, a musician himself, recalled. At 15, listening to one of his father’s records by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, which featured alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, he was inspired to take up the woodwind instrument after playing the clarinet in music class at school. Decades later, De Florio can still play and would like to get back to it, but admitted he’s a little out of shape. Modestly, De Florio said, “I get a few tunes out of the small button accordion.”

He might not be the accomplished accordionist his father was, but it’s clear De Florio has a passion for not only the instrument itself, but also for sharing stories about his dad. It was the opportunity to meet two of the most influential accordionists of the mid-20th Century, Charles Magnante and Pierto Deiro, in New York in the 1940s that cinched Matt De Florio’s professional music career. He got his start performing at the Old Mill, followed by a stint at the Royal York Hotel’s Imperial Room.

From 1953 to ’57, the elder De Florio was a fixture on the popular CBC TV show, Holiday Ranch, which aired Saturday evenings before Hockey Night in Canada. Singers, like Perry Como and Robert Goulet, and Lorne Green of Bonanza fame, made guest appearances.

A familiar face within the industry, De Florio’s father was often asked, “Where can I buy an accordion?”, that led to the idea for his own business, which has since its inception specialized in sales, repair, and refurbishment of accordions. Its collection includes imports and its own brand names, Caruso, Lido, and De Florio.

“We developed our own electric accordions back in the late ‘60s,” De Florio said of the Lidovox organ accordion, the only one of its kind constructed in the country.

The 1960s marked the accordion’s heyday. Accordion sales in Toronto and the greater Toronto area were booming, De Florio said. He recalled the day the family received a shipment of as many as 300 accordions — 50 pine crates full that needed to be put on the hoist in order to get them into the second floor shop. Many of these accordions were purchased by accordion schools throughout the city in the 1960s and 70s.

De Florio Sr.’s talent extended beyond playing. He also wrote method books and taught lessons in two music studios the shop once had.

“Right now, it’s dwindled down to about one-tenth of what it once was,” De Florio said of the instrument’s popularity. Accordionists find it “a very sweet, folksy instrument,” De Florio, who lives in Etobicoke, said. It’s an instrument “everybody and anybody” can play. “The accordion is good, clean fun.”

The walls of the shop, at Eglinton and Oakwood avenues, are adorned with photographs, posters, and newspaper clippings of De Florio’s customers, including Kevin Hearne of the Barenaked Ladies, singer Anne Murray, who purchased an accordion for her daughter; and Michael Boguski of Blue Rodeo.

The wall of fame of sorts also boasts clippings of such acclaimed musicians as the late jazz accordionist Art Van Damme — Matt De Florio’s favourite — Australian singer Tina Arena, and the Hansen-Eaton Duo, among a long list of others. De Florio says he can’t imagine working anywhere else. “You develop a rapport with the customers,” he said.

Joseph Soprani to Perform with Marple/Newtown Band on December 1

PosterJoseph Soprani writes:
I will be featured in one of my latest arrangements called Il Convegno by A. Panchielli originally written for two clarinets and concert band. It is one of Panchielli’s Romantic instrumental masterpieces.

I was asked to arrange it for accordion and clarinet by the conductor of the band Tony Wastler who is the former clarinetist of the the USAF Band in Washington, DC. in the late 60’s. As many of you know I was the accordion soloist under Col. George Howard in the late 50’s.

I started this project in March and after three rehearsals with the band it is beginning to take shape. If you are able to attend you will hear how I was able to maintain the essence and character of the clarinet and also showcase the wonders of the accordion.

This may very well be my last major project and performance. I plan on retiring next year. Thank you for your tremendous support over the years.
