Montville Local Takes to Europe’s Concert Halls, Parliament with Cello and Story of Remembrance

Sam Lucas, a Montville local, is certainly doing his Community proud as he takes on the concert halls of Europe with his cello.

Young Sam has invested a tremendous amount of dedication to master his craft, and those calloused fingers and long hours have now translated into a remarkable global career.

Just two weeks ago, Sam was asked to perform at the European Parliament as part of global commemorations of World Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Sam performed on a long-lost Gagliano cello, crafted in 1720, which belonged to renowned musician Pal Hermann.

Mr Hermann was one of the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust, making the performance all the more poignant.

Thanks, Richard, for sharing Sam’s story, and congratulations Sam on your ongoing success.
