Festa della Repubblica 2017

Italian Violinist Domenico Nordio 

Thank you to all who attended our Italian Republic Day Concert on Monday with Italian Violinist Marco Nordio. We had a full venue with about 200 guests and a successful event and we felt privileged to have such a talented musician as Nordio to preform for us. The concert was followed by an aperitivo with food prepared by the Dante volunteers.
