with Antonini, Nestor Mesta Chayres and members of the New York Philharmonic in the Night of the Americas Concert gala at Carnegie Hall in 1946. During this period, several international concert musicians also appeared on Viva America or recorded music with Antonini's Viva America Orchestra including: Terig Tucci (1942) Juan Arvizu (1940s); Nestor Mesta Chayres (1940s); Eva Garza (1940s); Elsa Miranda (1940s), Los Panchos Trio (1946), and Manuolita Arriola (1946) Under the supervision of Edmund Chester, these performances were beamed over CBS' Network of the Americas ("La Cadena de las Americas") across the Latin America continent to over twenty countries and rebroadcast by the United States Office of War Information and the United States Armed Forces Radio Service. Performances by members of Antonini's CBS Pan American Orchestra on Viva America have been credited with helping to introduce Latin American music and the Mexican bolero to large audiences in the United States in the 1940s. In addition, Serry also recorded examples of music unrelated to the bolero. During the 1940s he collaborated with the Mischa Borr Orchestra and the vocalist Sidor Belarsky to record several Russian and Ukrainian folk songs for Victor records including: "Dark Night" (Victor 26–5037), "Hobo Song" (Victor 26–5036, 1946), "By the Cradle" (Victor 26–5035, 1946), "Katusha" (Victor 26–5035, 1946) Serry recorded his work "Leone Jump" as a member of the Biviano Accordion & Rhythm Sextette with Tony Mottola on guitar and Angelo Delleria on accordion for Sonora Records in 1945. The album includes performances of "Little Brown Jug", "Golden Wedding", "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", "That's a Plenty", and "The Jazz Me Blues". His composition "Fantasy in F" was completed during this decade in 1946. The critic Henry Doktorski has described it as a "novelty piece" and likened it to Zez Confrey's composition "Dizzy Fingers". In 1946 he also appeared in the "Accordion World" concert at Manhattan Center with the accordionists Angello Dellairia and Joeseph Biviano. Later in 1949, the accordionist Joe Biviano collaborated with the RCA Victor Accordion Orchestra to record Serry's composition "Manhattan Hop" for RCA Victor. He also recorded several popular songs for Victor Records as a member of the noted Charles Magnante Accordion Band in 1941 including: "Clarinete Polka", '"Halli-Hallo- Halli", "Le Secret" and "Swing Me A Polka". Both Magnante and Biviano were cofounders of the American Accordionists' Association several years earlier in 1938. As an educator, Serry founded and operated a music studio
