Please help late concertmaster’s family

Please help late concertmaster’s family

An appeal has been raised for the widow and daughter of LA Opera concertmaster Roberto Cani.

After a brave battle with cancer, Roberto left us far too soon, leaving behind his beloved wife Elena and their 10 year-old daughter Sofia.
Roberto was more than a world-class musician—he was a devoted father, a loving husband, and a deeply cherished friend. His warmth, passion, and generous spirit resonated both on and off stage. His legacy lives on not only through the music he created, but through the countless lives he touched.
Elena stood by Roberto’s side with grace and quiet courage, caring for him while nurturing Sofia through every difficult moment. As they now begin the painful journey of healing, they face not only emotional loss but also significant financial challenges.
