Musical Programs
"Associations in Harmony"
This association between the Sister City and GPYO began when foundation board members suggested that Fernando Raucci, a young Italian conductor from Isernia, near Pettoranello, be a Guest Conductor. Sponsored by the Foundation, Raucci led Brahms Fourth Symphony at GPYO's 1996 Annual Spring Concert. The Maestro's superior talent and excellent rapport with student musicians overwhelmed the audience. In 2001, the Foundation underwrote GPYO's Spring Concert in Princeton University's historic Alexander Hall and has continued this annual tradition for the past seven years.
Scholarship Program
Each year the Princeton Pettoranello Foundation offers a $500 Scholarship to a graduating Princeton High School senior who is interested in furthering his/her education in Italian studies. The selection of the recipient is done by the scholarship committee of the Foundation in conjuction with the recommendations of the Italian teacher. The scholarship is presented at Senior Awards night.
