Celebrating their 97th Anniversary, Italian Community Services will be honoring Maestro Luisotti at their annual dinner in October. The event will be held once again at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in San Francisco, on Sunday evening, October 27, 2013. Cocktails will begin at 6:00 p.m., and dinner will follow at 7:00 p.m.
In the past decade, Maestro Luisotti has received enormous critical acclaim for performances with many of the world’s most respected opera companies and orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera, Paris Opera, Vienna State Opera, Teatro Real Madrid, and nearly all the major houses in Germany.
In his native Italy, Maestro Luisotti has worked with La Scala, La Fenice, Teatro Comunale di Bologna, and Teatro Carlo Felice, in addition to leading the Filarmonica della Scala, Orchestra di Santa Cecilia in Rome, and Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI.
Maestro Luisotti is presently Music Director at the Teatro di San Carlo Opera House in Naples, and was instrumental in plans to bring the San Carlo Opera to San Francisco for the performance of Verdi Requiem on October 25th, uniting the two bays.
Italian Community Services has been a trusted resource for nearly one hundred years, and continues to build on the legacy of community, culture, education and service. The Agency’s commitment to preserve Italian culture and serve the community is fulfilled in part by helping individuals and families identify and coordinate the assistance they need to live productive and independent lives. Through educational and cultural programs, ICS also works to preserve Italian traditions, language, and culture, to ensure they remain a source of strength and identity for this and future generations.
Celebrating Maestro Luisotti’s contributions to the world will be a very special opportunity. Invitations will be available in early September. Paypal payment option and the invitation will be available on the ICS website, at www.italiancs.com. Those not currently on the Agency mailing list, who would like to receive a printed or e-mail invitation, may contact Laura Capuzzi by e-mail at lcapuzzi@italiancs.com or by telephone at 415-362-6423.
