Shapiras present Romantic Cello Concert
PLATTEVILLE- The University of Wisconsin-Platteville is proud to showcase the talents of professor Benjamin Shapira and Shulamith Shapira in the third Romantic Cello Concert. The concert will take place at the Richard and Helen Brodbeck Concert Hall located in the Center for the Arts at 8 p.m. on April 4.
