Fundraising celebration of life in memory of Rick Clerici, who passed away July 28, 2023. As Rick always loved the power of music to uplift and celebrate, the show will feature upbeat and celebratory performances by classical trio of violinist Guiomar "Gigi" Turgeon (Boston Baroque, Handel & Haydn), accordionist Emilian Badea (Boston Lyric Opera, NH Symphony), cellist Rodica Badea (Brockton Symphony Orchestra); solo musician Steve Snuffer (Soul-O Acoustic, Steve Snuffer's Green Eyed Soul); solo musician Mike Lee II (Fevah Dream, Island Mike & Coconut Castro); musical trio of vocalist/guitarist John Procaccini, bassist David Procaccini, guitarist Rick Dillon.
Enjoy a day of music to help with the sudden and unexpected medical expenses from the glioblastoma brain tumor diagnosis and associated care. Rick was a musician, clinical sleep educator, and behavior sleep therapist. Along with his wife Louisa Clerici - who teaches intuitive development and meditation classes - they had through their Clear Mind Systems therapy practice and benefit shows helped many people through their generosity over the decades. So with Rick in mind, come to this fine day of entertainment while also helping during this great time of need. Special thanks to all the volunteers and musicians for donating their time and talent, and the Walpole Footlighters for the benevolent use of their theater.
