Tuesday night February 25th I hosted a panel discussion with Washington Post music critic Anne Midgette and noted musicologist Saul Lilienstein at Ambassador Claudio Bisogniero’s lovely residence Villa Firenze. The panel discussed “The Enduring Impact of Giuseppe Verdi” in conjunction with The Washington Chorus’ upcoming march 2 (5 pm) Kennedy Center “Essential Verdi” program. Thank you Dianne Peterson, ED of TWC, and gracious hosts Ambassador and Mrs. Claudio Bisogniero.
