Pope Leo is reputed to be a keen music lover with an eye for talent.
Today he has roped in six of the finest finger flyers for his Friday noon recital.
The six are Gabriela Montero, Beatrice Rana, Francesco Piemontese, Alexandr Malofeev, Nobuyuki Tsujii, Aleksey Shadrin and Brad Mehldau.
The performance is titled Harmonies of Hope.
Call me a Vespa. I wanna be there.
