Representing the variety and beauty of Italian music in different ages and in different fields was the goal of "Music and culture: an Italian Perspective" held at the Musco Center for the Art at Chapman University of Orange.  It is a cultural journey through Italian music that covers Medieval Times, the Renaissance, up until our times. 
 
Dr. Federico Pacchioni who organized the event, began by saying, "Music makes up part of who we are, both individually and collectively. If you really want to know someone, you must listen to their music."
