• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Guido Alberto Fano (1875-1961) was an Italian composer, pianist, conductor, and a Music Conservatory Director. During his life, he was offered three opportunities to move to the United States: in 1905, when colleague Ferruccio Busoni asked him to join him; in 1911, when he was invited by the College of Music in Cincinnati; and during WW2 to escape racial discrimination. However, he was never able to actually move to a country that was looking to welcome him with open arms.
