The first man to play an accordion in Carnegie Hall serenaded the audience with “The Beer Barrel Polka.”
In 1939, Charles Magnante, along with Joe Biviano, Abe Goldman, and Gene von Hallberg were the first to play accordions within the hallowed walls of Carnegie Hall. Their first selection was Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.
