Concert at St. James
"Lucrezia's One Voice Choir" will hold a concert at St. James on May 17 at 9:00 PM in memory of Lucrezia Balatri. This will be the choir's first official concert after the loss of its beloved friend and director, held in the church to which Lucrezia was profoundly connected.
The choir is directed by Giorgio Ammirabile. Giacomo Ferrari will be on piano Giacomo Ferrari, Michele Papadia on Hammond organ, and Janko on bass. All these exceptional musicians, colleagues and dear friends of Lucrezia, have always been particularly inspired by Gospel music, for which their passion is quite evident. We look forward to seeing you all for a truly special, memorable evening!
