“Chef Fabio Trabbochi’s Italian Passover Seder at Fiola from Saturday, April 23rd to Friday, April 29th.
The Seder celebrates Italy’s Jewish communities, particularly in the regions of Marche and Lazio (where he grew up), that were isolated from those in the rest of Europe. As a result, these communities developed a unique style of cooking, incorporating distinctly Italian culinary traditions. Chef Fabio will showcase these culinary customs in this Passover menu, with his own Fiola twist.
Dishes include Carciofi alla Giudia, which are fried baby artichokes with a salad of shaved raw artichokes, fresh herbs and squash blossoms; Acquerello Risotto, with lightly grilled Spanish branzino, roasted San Marzano tomatoes, and Sicilian Olio Verde; and Macedonia di Fragole for dessert, which are macerated strawberries served with Tuscan almond ricciarelli cookies. These almond cookies were a mainstay in medieval Middle Eastern cultures; when the Jewish people fled Spain, they brought their sweets with them. The cookies spread through the Italy via Sicily and Venice and evolved into these almond cookies made with almond paste, sugar, and beaten egg whites.

Guests can make reservations online or via phone: (202) 628-2888″

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
