Thanks to Merano-born Ido Merlini,
who now lives in the USA, the choir decided to make its first trip
overseas when we were asked to take part in the Five Hundredth Anniversary
Celebrations for the Discovery of America. The Concordia gave a number
of very successful concerts and was presented with various official
awards including a plaque of merit on behalf of the Italian consul
agent Giuseppe Polimeri and from Carmine Captano, the director of
the organisational committee for Columbus Day. |
