Christopher Macchio, an international classical cross-over vocalist known globally for his commanding performances from the White House balcony, will be an inaugural honoree of the Italian American Heritage Society of Long Island. Macchio will be recognized at the 2024 Long Island Italian Celebration at Larkfield Manor on Monday, October 21. Tickets and sponsorships are available now.
