I’m thrilled to welcome our friend, Maestro #CarloPonti, joining
us to discuss the
opening of his Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra 2023/2024 Season this
month.
I’m passionate about music education, and Maestro Ponti has
dedicated his time
to raise money and awareness to bring music education to young
people in
schools through the work of his LAV Orchestra. All proceeds from
the Los Angeles
Virtuoso Orchestra funds musical education programs so young people
have the
opportunity to study music in schools throughout Los Angeles,
regardless of
economics.
Of course, we will also talk about Mr.
Ponti's early days, growing up with legendary mom, #SophiaLoren,
his dad, film
producer Carlo Ponti, Sr, and younger brother, Eduardo, also a
filmmaker. Carlo
tells us his home was filled with music and arts growing up. I can
only imagine!
The Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra
premieres its upcoming season on Friday, October 20, at the Theater
Raymond
Kabbaz in West LA, one of my favorite theaters in the City of
Angels. Carlo Ponti
and the Orchestra look forward to sharing an exciting lineup of
performances,
featuring emerging young soloists who will make their debut with
LAV's
world-class musicians, LIVE.
Please join us on all video and audio platforms of
#LittleItalyPodcast,
#LittleItalyOfLAPodcast, and #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I’m your host,
#DeborahZaraKobylt, and I hope you invite your friends to listen to
our interview
AND attend the upcoming LAV performances with Maestro Carlo
Ponti.
