Welcome to the Silicon Valley Accordion Society website!
April 4, 2024 - Monterey International
Monterey International features Mike Marotta on accordion and Dave Dally on violin. This very well-known group plays favorite songs from all over the world. Mike Marotta
(accordion) and Dave Dally (violin) are the core of the
group that is often expanded to include singers, bass,
percussion and others. Mike Marotta Jr., a Monterey native, is the third generation of Marottas to entertain Peninsula audiences. For over 45 years he has performed all styles of popular music on accordion and piano with the Marotta Band.
Dave Dally is an accomplished professional violinist who lives in Carmel Valley and leads the Monterey String Quartet. Dave has played at our Club with the Denier brothers, Joe Domitrowich and others. He can often be found Thursday nights performing at Lugano’s Swiss Bistro, The Barnyard at Carmel Valley, just off Hwy 1.
Erasmo ‘Orazio’ Aiello comes from Palermo, Sicily. He has been discovered by musicians eager to share his gift of singing traditional Italian songs and opera with wider audiences. During the day he practices while baking bread at his famous Palermo Bakery.
We LOVE seeing them and you will too! Please join us!

Our dedicated President Colette Ogata has done a great job leading us on this adventure during COVID and back. We are very happy to have her on board. Now we are going back to in-person performances at the church. We'll either have members or a member band play before any professional performers. Bring your accordion and play for us!

We have club members play before the break. Bring your accordion and let one of the board members know if you are interested in playing for us.
We invite you to visit one of our meetings and listen to wonderful performances by our guests. Our members are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about SVAS and how you can join.
We value your feedback; send us your comments and suggestions. By building an effective web site, we hope to get our message out to a larger audience of people interested in the accordion.
Happy squeezing!
