The visit was arranged by Chris Florio, orchestra director, who noted the pianists were a hit with the students and that the duo enjoyed their visit to Harker. “Piano is very popular at Harker,” said Florio, “and this (was) a great opportunity to bring in international talent to meet our talent. This is another one of those events that you hardly ever find at a high school; it is much more of a college or university type of event.”
