Flutists on hiatus, will wed in Augst

St. Paul flutists, Stephanie Castongia and Rich Lupo, are going to be on a brief hiatus this summer, as Stephanie has been hired to play in the pit orchestra at the Ohio Light Opera this summer season. (Congratulations, Stephanie. We will miss you, but look forward to your return in the fall.)

Stephanie also has been awarded a flute assistantship at the University of Akron which will allow her to gain teaching and performing experience, as well as to pursue her master's in flute.

Rich has his own business, suitably, repairing and selling flutes and accessories. 

Rich and Stephanie met in undergraduate school and are planning to get married in August  after she finishes her studies.
