February 6, 2010 at 4pm
The Church of St. Cyril
62 St. Mark's Place (E 8th St.)
New York, NY 10003
Prešernov (Kulturni) Dan event was a wonderful celebration of community and culture which included a tasting of Slovenian wines provided by TriWines, recital and a surprise grab bag afterwards. We had 35 attendees!
Thank you to Marta Stemberger and her students for a lovely program that included a short recital of Slovene folk songs and reciting Prešeren’s "Zdravljica" (The Toast) and Gregorčič’s "Veseli pastir" (Merry Sheppard), accompanied on the keyboard by Lenart Krečič. It was great to see that the students represent a variety of ages! Branch 93 members Elizabeth Gross and Emily Harling are in the beginner class. Rick Petkovsek, brother of our member Stephanie Petkovsek, is in the intermediate class.
