We are excited to be partnering with local travel group, Phil Italy for this special afternoon!

Phil, a dual citizen lived and worked in Italy for five years, and has over 25 years organized and facilitated twelve on-the-ground group tours.  Now, Phil takes you to Italy to explore and discover, whether you have Italian heritage or not.

One of the reviews from his website:
“One of the best guided tours we have experienced. Phil is energetic, knowledgeable and bilingual which make him a wonderful resource for this type of journey!  He found fantastic hotels and restaurants that are lesser-known to tourists, which delivered a truly unique experience. Phil hired fabulous historians for Pompeii, Paestum and important sites that provided a much deeper understanding of these brilliant pieces of human history.  A highly recommended experience!”

Alla Boara returns to Erie, PA!

“Music at Noon, the Logan Series is celebrating its thirty-third season at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. Since its inception, the series’ mission has been to demystify the concert experience by presenting the breathtaking diversity of chamber music to the Erie community. This is accomplished in part by creating an informal, welcoming environment that nurtures an unusual level of interaction between artist and audience.

When musicians participate in the Logan Series, they also develop and present residency activities for students at Erie’s Diehl Elementary School. In addition, series performers are invited to visit with our undergraduate students as guest lecturers in the general arts classrooms at Penn State Behrend.

By fostering arts education from kindergarten through college and beyond, the Logan Series occupies a distinctive niche in today’s chamber music scene.”
