Project Hope is excited to announce that classical pianist Francesco Binda will be playing at the 2012 New Life dinner and auction, April 28.

Mr. Binda received his master of music in piano performance at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, and studied with Dr. Mark Clinton. He also holds a diploma in piano performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music under the guidance of Ms. Emanuela Friscioni.

Prior to coming to the United States in 2006, Mr. Binda studied and obtained a diploma at the Conservatorio Arrigo Boito of Parma, Italy. His teachers included Maestro Marco Giovanetti and Maestro Konstantin Bogino. In 1997, Mr. Binda started his official activity as a performer, as a solo pianist and collaborative pianist for Italian institutions and associations. During these years, he participated in national and international competitions, and master classes conducted by Maestro Paolo Bordoni and Aldo Ciccolini. He offers private lessons, and can be reached at francesco.binda@gmail.com.

Stay tuned for more updates as progress continues by visiting the New Life page, our Facebook page, or by calling (440) 354-6417 x105. Tickets for the event are $40 per person or $300 per table of 8.

2010 was a staggering year for Project Hope,  with more individuals than ever  receiving help from the only emergency homeless shelter in Lake County. More than 330 individuals, 50 of whom were children, came through the doors. Despite the record-breaking number of overall guests and children, more than half of these shelter guests left for a better quality of life. To learn more about how Project Hope worked to restore hope and renew lives last year, read our 2010 Annual Report.
