Rucci Hits the Big Time … Congratulations to one of Tommy’s favorite young artists (okay, they were all his favorites), Mark Rucci, who, earlier this month, realized a dream that has escaped many musicians his senior. Young Mr. Rucci made his debut on the stage at Carnegie Hall, where he performed in the 40th Anniversary Concert presented by the Interschool Orchestras of New York on the Perelman Stage in the Stern Auditorium. Playing percussion for the ISO Symphonic Band, the Xaverian junior was honored to perform in such a famous venue.
“It was absolutely amazing,” Rucci gushed.
You won’t have to go far to catch this budding star’s next performance, as he, along with twin brother Chris, is part of Xaverian’s production of Fame, set for the last two weekends in March.
