SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2011

Co County Wellness Services hosted their annual brunch and concert on Sunday, November 13, 2011 at the Stirling Guest Hotel. Those in attendance were treated to a wonderful brunch and outstanding entertainment.

Tenor Diego Silva, 22, from Mexico City, entered the Curtis Institute in 2008 and studies voice with Marlena Kleinman Malas. Mr. Silva won three prizes at the Carlo Morelli National Voice Competition, including first prize. He provided a fine program of opera classics and well as some more contemporary ballads. He was accompanied on the piano by Bonnie Wagner, a faculty member at Curtis Institute since 2006. In addition, Bonnie enjoys a career as a freelance coach and accompanist in Philadelphia, PA.

We are deeply grateful to Tom & Annie Moll and VIST Financial for their generous support of this event.
