DESCRIPTION:
"C Pez" is a multitude of musicians from the Prestigious New England Conservatory of Music headed by famed accordionist Cory Pesaturo. Any type of band: from just Cory performing Italian tunes for weddings (with a singer if you prefer), to Classical Ensembles, to a Jazz Trio/Quartet at a Jazz Festival, to a World Music Ensemble, can be put together. Cory Pesaturo, a 21-year old resident of North Cumberland, RI, is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, MA, where he was the first musician ever to major in the accordion. Pesaturo’s extensive resumé includes appearances at the White House for President and Mrs. Clinton on 4 different occasions. On one of those occasions, he became the youngest person ever to perform at a State Dinner. He is also featured in Mrs. Clinton’s book “An Invitation to the White House”.
At 11, Pesaturo opened at the former Warwick Musical Theater for the ill Myron Floren. He has also opened at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel, the Waterfires in Providence, and as a guest star at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford, CT. Since then Cory has been featured on Boston and Rhode Island news channels, the Providence Journal, the Valley Breeze and Neighbors Magazine. In 2000, Cory presented his own show at Diamond Hill State Park for the Summer Concert Series where he played the clarinet and saxophone in addition to the accordion.
For nine consecutive years he has performed at the Sergio Franchi Memorial Concert in North Stonington, CT. Other performances include the Stadium Theater in Woonsocket, RI, the Providence Performing Arts Center with tenor Michael Amante, and in Valhalla, NY with World Champion Accordion players Mario Tacca and Peter Soave. In July 2002, Cory became the youngest ever National Accordion Champion and went on to Copenhagen, Denmark for the Coupe Mondiale World Competition. A win in a concerto competition at the New England Conservatory of Music gave him the rare opportunity to perform at the 2003 Christmas Pops Concert with the Brockton Symphony Orchestra as a featured soloist, where he became the youngest accordionist to ever solo with a symphony orchestra.
Concerning his Jazz side, Cory has recently recorded two CD’s with saxophone legend George Garzone and his famous band “The Fringe”, and has been performing with them in the Boston and Providence region. Last year at the Coupe Mondiale World Competition, Cory was hailed as the world’s best Jazz Accordionist. Mr. Pesaturo is also heavily involved with the weather and motor sports worlds as well. From 2005 to 2006, he composed the Official list of records set by the inconceivable record-breaking 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. Furthermore, Pesaturo's music is regularly played on Formula 1 broadcasts and he is currently working on a Formula 1 book that will change the way people look upon the sports history and its champions, and set to tour with F1 legend Peter Windsor.
