Joseph Sartori Concert Series

This concert series is a tribute to the late Joseph Sartori in honor of his musical talent and in appreciation of the Sartori Family’s generous contribution to the Plymouth Arts Center. The PAC thanks the Sartori Family for sharing these comments about their father and the concert…….. “Our dad, Joseph Sartori, while known primarily for his work with S & R Cheese/Sartori Foods, for most of his life, was also known as a highly accomplished pianist. Joseph’s aunt, Ada Lombardi, an acclaimed concert pianist with the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra, taught Joseph the piano, and especially “The Classics.” While he did not pursue a musical career, as his aunt thought he should, he did continue to play, practically daily, for the rest of his life. The Steinway grand piano used for “An Evening of the Classics” is the one our dad bought in the early 1960s. He played many of the same pieces performed for this concert for his own enjoyment, as well as that of his family and friends. The Sartori Steinway piano is on loan to the Plymouth Arts Center to allow others to play it, and for all of us to continue to enjoy the music that our father loved so dearly. Many pianists who have played “Papa Joe’s” Steinway speak highly of its sound and feel privileged to have the opportunity to play such a wonderful instrument. Our dad will be listening to the concert, and the Sartori family is proud to be a part of “An Evening of The Classics.”
