Recognizing 2013 as a year designated to celebrate Italian
culture in the United States, St. John's University has joined
forces with the Riverside Opera Company (ROC) to present
Concerto Primavera: A Tribute to Giuseppe Verdi,
1813-2013.
The concert will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, at
the University’s Staten Island campus. Italian-American cultural
organizations throughout the borough will join St. John’s in the
event, which marks the bicentennial of Verdi’s birth. Led by
Maestro Alan Aurelia, the ROC will play a variety of classical
music selections by the great Italian composer.
