a bella donna balcony performance
Nino Rota
Four Strings returned to the Bella Donna Chapel for the second time in a less than a week, providing a string quartet for the 11 October 2012 wedding of Candice Nelson and Anthony Pan. An unusual Thursday wedding, the date was chosen for its auspicious character (10/11/12).
