One piano virtuoso in a family is rare but two is pretty much unheard of: Nerva and Robenson are that rarity. They have performed in Lincoln Center, Woolsey Hall, Christian Cultural Center, the Congressional Medal of Honor Ceremony for the Tuskeegee Airman and other prestigious venues to excellent reviews. This past November, Nerva Altino composed and directed an original cantata that debuted at the Riverside Church to over 1700 in attendance. They are at the place in their careers where they need a break and more exposure. They offer 3 types of multi-genre perfomances: as a piano duo, as The Altino Brothers and Friends with a small ensemble and talented soloists, and a large concert performance with their 100 person chorale and orchestra. I would love the opportunity to talk or meet with you about them. Please call me at (908)996-6033 or email me at altino.brothers@yahoo.com Their website is www.TheAltinoBrothers.com EPK: http://www.sonicbids.com/epk/epk.asp?epk_id=138681 I hope to talk with you soon. Thank you. Julie Wiehl Hello Ms. Sele,

In finding this letter, it led me to find you and I did. I was at the time of our meeting a Event Producer. I was included in the "hard hat" tour of the center. The most interesting occurrences was meeting you. I am sure that you have many friends and people since then. This finding you was great because I would like you to come to Memphis on Feb 4to 8 to listen to my daughter Suze Sims and the Red Hot Blues Sisters. No, I will not send you a press kit. However, you may wish to check out their web site. Peacecoderecords.com or the redhotbluessisters.com Anyway, they are semi-finalists in the International Blues Challenge. I was a professional classical modern dancer and at the time we met, I was so excited to see the sub-floor of the stage at the YB theater because it was a sprung floor. I did not have that when I danced. I hope that you will take a chance and call me. 415 386-0225 or 415)407-6920 - cell. Looking forward. Peace and Blessings to you. Be well and safe.
