The Italian Idol Singing Competition at Wagner College has been given a $50,000 grant from the Licia Albanese Puccini Foundation to be used as awards and scholarships for student singers.
The grant came through the efforts of Wagner College voice professor Anthony Turner, music professor Roger Wesby and former trustee Al Palladino ’61, along with the help and expertise of Patrick Mooney of the college’s Office of Institutional Advancement.
