GENERAL MEETING:
On October 21 we shall meet at 1:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary of All Saints. Pianist and composer Tony Sala will be our guest.  He was born in Cuba and began piano lessons at age 6.  “My music-loving family inspired a passion within me from the earliest years to today,” he says.  Consistently placing first among his peers during formal competitions, Mr. Sala ultimately completed piano studies at age 17 at the Peyrellade Conservatory in Havana. In 1958 he graduated from Villanova University’s branch in Havana with a B.S. in accounting.  In 1961 Mr. Sala left Cuba and settled in Philadelphia, where he embarked on a successful career in accounting and finance spanning over forty years.  In 1986 he volunteered his talents to the members of the St. Mary of the Lakes Church Community in Medford, NJ, serving as organist to This day.  After retiring in 2003 from full-time professional life in accounting and finance, Mr. Sala embraced his passion for delivering inspiring live performances on a full-time basis.
