Concluding the season of the Venice Community Concert Series is one of the most talented families in our community. Chris, Karen, William, and Nicholas Romig will delight us with favorites for flute, piano, bass, and percussion. This couple and their two sons have spent many years entertaining audiences with their virtuosity, musicality, and engaging stage presence. We couldn’t think of anything more inspiring to end the season than having the Romig’s give a little piece of their family heart to us all.
