The Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto presents a series of musical presentations by Luca Dell’Anna (piano), Mirko Signorile (piano), Claudio Jr. De Rosa (sax) and Redi Hasa (cello), four talented musicians who left an impression on Toronto and Toronto on them.
Due to the restrictions in place, future plans for a return performance in Toronto had to be cancelled. Their time in Toronto was incredibly special, and so, they have each agreed to present an live, online concert, as an homage and a thank you to our city.
