The beautiful music of Francesco Attesti, Annika Kaschenz, and John
Morgan filled the auditorium on December 1st, at the first Holiday Gala Concert to benefit NeedArts. The ensemble
delighted the audience with selections of opera arias, piano solos and traditional Christmas music from around the world.
The dynamic voices of Kashcenz and Morgan could only be compared to
the finest opera singers of our day. Attesti's
Chopin was unparalleled.
The subtle yet strong interpretation was an emotional beginning to
the evening. The second half of the performance brought age old and twentieth century Christmas songs alive with lovely melody,
harmony and accompaniment, and even
a "White Christmas" sing a long.
At the end of the performance the trio mingled at the reception with guests.
A perfect night for all!
