The Webb Sisters

I was lucky enough to attend the concert that Leonard Cohen held a few years ago in the Verona Arena. It was the 24 September 2012. There I saw and heard this marvel of sound, voice and elegance that are Hattie and Charley, The Webb Sisters. John Jorgenson told me about it, but I didn't imagine that I would come out of our amphitheater bewitched by such beauty.

I have to say thank you very much to John who, collected my desire to bring these two great artists to Soave, he told them about the festival and convinced them to be with us.

Thank you, caro John! I am happy!
