Central Illinois music lovers are in for a rare treat October 12 at 7:30 when the Effingham Noon Rotary Club, with generous support from the Effingham Performance Center and the Piano Network welcome acclaimed Italian pianist Francesco Attesti. Mr. Attesti will perform the Goldberg Variations of J.S. Bach.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the music programs at the two local high schools: Effingham High School and St. Anthony High School.

Verdi” in Milan.

A Rotarian himself, Mr. Attesti regularly offers his performances for the benefit of Rotary causes and lets the hosting clubs choose the benefactors.

Limited prime seating is available at $25, standard tickets at $15, and students will be admitted free (no ticket required), thanks to the generosity of the Piano Network.
