What others are saying about Lou:

“On behalf of the Milton PTO and the Milton Fair, we would just like to thank you for the incredible show you put on for the kids on March 7th. There were wonderful synergies between the Milton Goes Global theme/curriculum and your Around the World show. It truly was a win-win for all involved!”

Karen Hios, Milton Fair Co Chair Milton School Rye, NY

“Lou Del Bianco is one of the area’s finest and most sought after storytellers. During the years in which Lou has worked with the children of JFK Magnet School he has mesmerized our children with stories and discussions on topics that range from character education to the constellations and ancient mythologies from around the world. His stories are used as part of our Socratic Seminars for disruptive children as well as enrichment for our school plays. We are so lucky to have local storyteller of this caliber and commitment to Port Chester. The kids love him (and so do the adults!)”

Louis P. Cuglietto, Pricipal John F. Kennedy Magnet School Port Chester, NY

“Many of the children have already asked if you would be willing to come back year. They were clearly touched by your personal experiences as incorporated into a live show. It was evident from classroom discussions that took place later that day that the students connected with the choices you made growing up.

Liz Berg, Chair- Cultural Arts Committee Link Elementary School New City, NY

“Dear PTA, Thank you so much for letting Mr. Lou Del Bianco come to our school and perform. I loved being picked to go onstage and participate in one of his greatest songs. It was so much fun I think he could make a person who has made a bad choice make a good choice. Thanks again!”

Erica, 4th grader

“I loved it all. I was totally captivated and taken back to the 1800’s. Mr. Del Bianco was Abraham Lincoln. The presentation was very informative and entertaining. It was like going back in time. It was also very educational!”

Karen Silva, 4th grade Maloney Interdistrict Magnet School Waterbury, CT

“I appreciated the fact that he repeated important facts and explained the “Blab School” using a hands-on approach. I believe these types of experiences have a lasting effect on children.”

Josette Welton, 1st grade Timber Point Elementary East Islip, NY

“I thought this was one of the best assemblies we’ve had in a long while. The students were motivated and engaged and the presentation was very clear and at their level of understanding.”

Maria Gillespie, 2nd grade Theodore Roosevelt Elementary Oyster Bay, NY

Lou is a very talented musican and storyteller who is able to capture the attention of our Pre-k through 5th grade students with wonderful original stories and music that relate to themselves and our multicultural curriculum. His contagious enthusiasm inspires even the shyest students to participate I his programs. I can wholeheartedly recommend Lou Del Bianco for school programming related to storytelling, theater and music.”

Mary Ann Thompson, Principal Maloney Interdistrict Magnet School Waterbury, CT

“As a teacher, educational and arts administrator, I have rarely encountered anyone who embodies all the best qualities one would wish for in a teacher/artist as Lou does. Lou Del Bianco is an inspiration to students and teachers alike.”

Camille Linen Artistic-Education Director Port Chester Council for the Arts Port Chester, NY

“I just wanted to let you know how happy our school was with your show. Many students and teachers commented that yours was the best assembly they’ve ever seen, and the 4th grade has been inspired to research their own folktales and re-tell them in their own way! I was extremely pleased with the Lenape tale. I appreciate your flexibility in making Around the World tie in with our LIRRR theme. You definitely made our PARP program a huge success – Thanks!”

Anne Muscerella, PARP Co chair Saw Mill Elementary School North Bellmore, NY
