Lira Resident Conductor, Mina Zikri, once again spent his summer touring with Daniel Barenboim's West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. Here he is pictured with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, alongside Italian President Giorgio Napolitano and Maestro Daniel Barenboim. The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra performed in Castel Gandolfo to mark His Holiness’ saint day on July 11th, 2012. Below are two photos of volunteer teachers at the Kosciuszko Foundation’s Arts Enriched English Language Camp near the city of Wielun in Poland this past summer. Lira’s stage and technical director, Thomas Rusnak, has been volunteering for the Teaching English in Poland Program for the past 8 years and is now Lead Teacher and Lira’s super-volunteer Mary Rita Mitchell has volunteered for the Kosciuszko Foundation program for the past two years. Both are on the left in the top photos, wearing blue tops. All of us at Lira are very proud of Tom and Mary Rita. Bravo to both of them!
