Simone Spadino in Concert for the Potenza Student Exchange
Denver Sister Cities International’s Potenza Committee invites the community to a special evening of classical music featuring internationally acclaimed Italian violinist Simone Spadino, joined by pianist Jiwon Han and the University of Wyoming Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Beth Vanderborgh.
This elegant concert celebrates the enduring cultural ties between Denver and Potenza, Italy, and supports the Potenza Student Exchange Program, which fosters educational and cultural connections between young people in both cities.
A Celebrated International Artist
Simone Spadino is widely recognized for his expressive artistry and technical mastery. His international career has brought him to renowned concert halls and collaborations across Europe and the United States. For this special Denver performance, Spadino will lead an all–Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy program, highlighting the composer’s lyrical brilliance and emotional depth.
Accompanied by pianist Jiwon Han and the University of Wyoming Chamber Orchestra, the evening promises a rich and inspiring musical experience.
Music with a Purpose
Beyond its artistic excellence, this concert carries a deeper mission. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Potenza Student Exchange Program, helping to create meaningful opportunities for students to experience cultural immersion, build international friendships, and develop a broader global perspective.
These exchanges are at the heart of Denver Sister Cities International’s mission—strengthening mutual understanding through direct, people-to-people connections.
