CET Florence Students Perform at Florence's "Porto di Mare"



CET Florence Students Drew Silverstein and Emily Degerberg performed last Monday night at Florence's Bar/Restaurant, the "Porto di Mare". We were lucky to be in the audience for this fantastic duo, whose performance included a wide selection of 80s music, selections from musicals, and songs written and composed by Drew himself (click for a video from 2006). Drew has received positive criticism for his work as a composer for films and video games, especially considering his age. Florentines are lucky to have him, even if for just a few short months!

Emily Degerberg did a fantastic job singing backup, and also shone in her solo performances. In addition to her lively introductions, jokes and silly stage antics, Emily also brought tears to our eyes with her performance of "The Light in the Piazza", from the musical of the same name. Set in Florence and Rome in 1953, the musical played a part in Emily's desire to travel and live in Italy. We were fortunate to be there in person for her performance ...
