Formed in 2014, the husband and wife duo is comprised of Australian guitarist Daniel Nistico and American flutist Marla Nistico. Duo Vela’s main goals are to break the “classical norm” and challenge the traditional audience & performer relationship. This is done by: staying as true as possible to the performance practices of the musical origins (i.e. Baroque style/Piazzolla/etc..), speaking and interacting with the audience all throughout the performance, encouraging the audience to ask questions, take pictures and record as they wish, and by the occasional use of multi-media to enhance the audio and visual experience for the audience.

Roberts Wesleyan College will host its spring Leadership Breakfast and dive into Rochester’s “Best Companies to Work For” with local leaders. The event will take place Friday, March 18, 2016, from 7:30 to 9 a.m. in the Howard Stowe Roberts Cultural Life Center on campus.

What does it take to be a Best Company to Work For? Why does it matter? Panelists will discuss the importance of workplace culture and how each award-winning organization created a balanced, healthy work culture for its team.

The panel will include:

• Dr. Deana Porterfield, president of Roberts Wesleyan College
• Duane Hutt, Rochester HR manager at Wegmans
• Lauren Dixon, CEO of Dixon Schwabl
• Steve Ostrander, fund administrator at UA Local 13

The event will be moderated by Jon Alhart, vice president of social and digital media at Dixon Schwabl. Guests are encouraged to bring questions for an open discussion with the panel and tweet questions or comments using #RobertsLeaders.

Admission is free, and registration is required. RSVP here today!
