Festive gathering for friends and supporters will feature fun, food and lots of music, including a preview of the 2013 summer season. Guests are invited to bring to the event, which is a benefit for the Center, an unwrapped toy for distribution to a needy child and a donation for hurricane victims. The Altamura Center for the Arts, a not-for-profit organization, provides quality opera and theater performances at affordable prices to Greene County audiences and is a project of Inter-Cities Performing Arts, Inc. based in New York and New Jersey. The event hosts, Carmela Altamura, Founder and Executive Director of the Center, and co-founder and arts patron, Leonard Altamura, look forward to welcoming friends and volunteers to their intimate performing venue in the Catskills, which will be decorated for the occasion.
