BRUNO FUSCO TO JUDGE DANCE COMPETITION IN NAPLES

This summer AMHS member Bruno Fusco is traveling to his hometown of Napoli to judge a dance competition. He has traveled to Italy in the spring or summer in recent years to judge talent competitions all over Italy.

This summer Maestro Cav. Fusco will participate as a judge in the “Agora Arte” presentation of the 14th edition of the Premio Scugnizzo per la Danza. The event will take place on September 21, 2016 at the Cortile del Maschio Angeino di Napoli. The competition is being held under the auspices of the Council for Culture of the City of Napoli.

Hopefully Bruno will have time to reconnect with his friends and his former colleagues from the Teatro San Carlo where he got his professional start. Buon viaggio, Bruno!! (Submitted by Nancy DeSanti).
