Thank You

Season 2 is in the books! Thank you to our audience, donors, and corporate sponsors Solich Piano Cleveland and Concierge CPAs Inc for making this season possible. Your attendance and contribution made eight stellar concerts celebrating Italian heritage in classical music a success! We can’t wait to share more great music with you.

For the first time ever, Little Italy has its very own, dedicated concert series. In partnership with Studio Espressivo, the Sunday Studio Series brings together world-class, local artists for live music at the Murray Hill Galleries. Inspired by the community and energy of Little Italy, pianist Allison Hillier and composer Chris Neiner curate programs that celebrates Italian heritage and influence in classical music. From popular favorites to hidden gems, these concerts deliver an up-close, exciting musical experience. Through engaging performances and conversation, the Sunday Studio Series bridges the gap between musician and audience, building connections that promote community access to the arts and enrich our vibrant Little Italy.
