The Archer Family in Todi, Italy
On one of the last evenings in June, with the city blessed by an interlude of coolness, the Archer family - composed of Mary Ann, Frank and Sarah - caressed with their notes the majesty of the Church of the Consolation. 
A quote from an article in the Arte E Cultura magazine.
The Archers will be in concert again in Todi the week of December 13, 2010.
