Press Release

A Musical Journey to Paradise

Concert

A Classical Concert to Benefit
Good Counsel Homes

Performed By
Professor Pierluigi Sampietro

In December of 2007, the Professor was requested by the Vatican, to come and play a private concert for Pope Benedict the XIV. Speaking of the experience brings tears to the Professors eyes, but that is not surprising. He is a man of great passion, and his music transcends words!.

" When I play music, I travel to paradise, and there, as a Catholic/Christian, I embrace my Savior!" Professor Pierluigi Sampietro

There is no doubt that those who hear him will accompany him on the journey!.

Professor Sampietro is acclaimed in the "Who's Who in Music" and has played all over the world. A classical concert pianist, he graduated from The Mozarteum's Conservatory of Music in Salzburg. This wonderful concert was an experience I honesty cannot find the right words for, except to say, you don't listen, you "enter in to it".
