International Exchange of Training for Advance Rescue and Life Support

A special evening of Italian food and libations at Sotto Sopra Restaurant on Thursday, September 28^th located at 405 N. Charles Street in Baltimore will benefit training for Advanced Rescue and Life Support for Emergency Medical Responders. Doctor Doug Floccare, a 32 year veteran emergency physician and a medical director for flight paramedics for 27 years will be the restaurant’s guest chef for the evening. Sotto Sopra’s award-winning Northern Italian cuisine with a Maryland accent and special wine flights are the centerpiece for the evening’s gathering with open reservations available by phone 410-625-0534 or https://www.opentable.com/r/sotto-sopra-baltimore

One must consider the ever changing landscape of rescue and medical care. Pockets of unique expertise in rescue and emergency medical care have developed across the world. From the wilderness of Canada to the mountains of Italy and to the outback and the coasts of Australia, emergency response personnel have often developed methods of preparing for unique local challenges that are not necessarily widely disseminated, but that can help responders in other locations train for high-risk, low-frequency events.

Medical Director of Flight Paramedics, Dr. Doug Floccare informs, “Maryland is diverse in nature, from ocean coastline and waterways to farmlands and mountains, and from sparsely populated areas to the sprawling suburbs and densely populated cities. Emergency medical response in Maryland poses a wide variety of challenges, yet we have a long history of innovative approaches to trauma care. Maryland has much it can learn from the expertise that has been developed in other areas of the world, and also much it can share from approaches that have been refined here. This fund will be utilized to support the international exchange of training personnel and training techniques for advanced rescue and life support.” Dr. Floccare has had the opportunity to travel extensively and to observe unique approaches to emergency response in other areas of the world.

Sotto Sopra Restaurant is pleased to partner with Dr. Floccare, as their guest chef, and will be donating 15% of the evening’s proceeds to Advanced Rescue and Life Support for Emergency Medical Responder training.

Dr. Doug Floccare’s love of good food has prompted his enjoyment of cooking from a young age. As a “weekend cook,” he enjoys exploring the world through its foods and wines using a wide range of cooking methods. As the grandson of four immigrants from Italy, he often returns to the culinary root, he loved so much while growing up. So whether it’s a whole prime rib on the smoker, a stir-fry of homegrown vegetables, or a Sunday simmer of tomato sauce and meatballs, he takes greatest pleasure in the fellowship of a delicious meal shared with family or friends.

Sotto Sopra is encouraging attendees to come dressed as anyone of their favorite Broadway show characters, so put on your lederhosen if Sound of Music is your favorite or rollers in your hair if you are a beauty school dropout from Grease. There will be prizes awarded for their favorite costumes. The performers will be encouraging singing along should the guests wish to participate in select favorites.

On this special Broadway night, performances will be from four popular and diverse Broadway show songbooks:

Sound of Music

Evita

Grease

Les Misreables

Cost Per Person: $10 cover plus dinner reservations/ ala carte menu

The Baltimore Men’s Chorus (BMC) – Since 1984, the mission has been to provide local men the opportunity to enjoy learning and singing choral music. They have performed in many locations, including New York City, Seattle, Philadelphia, Annapolis, and of course, Baltimore. The Baltimore Men’s Chorus welcomes all male singers – regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.

Broadway Night at Sotto Sopra performers:

N. Brad Bradley

Nathan "Brad" Bradley has been a shower singer since birth, but he brought his singing talents to the stage in the late ‘80s when he first joined the Baltimore Men’s Chorus. Since then he has sung with Voices Of Kentuckiana and the Indianapolis Men's Chorus (when he lived in those areas) before returning to the BMC in 2002. A former BMC president, he is currently on its board as treasurer and sings bass (but has also sung tenor at times).

Stephen McMahon

Steve started playing "air piano" at the early age of four and his parents soon had him taking lessons, tickling the ivories on a real piano. With time, he furthered his studies with teachers at Peabody. Steve's lifelong love of music includes singing too; he has sung chorally with the Baltimore Symphony Chorus, the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC, and Potomac Fever before joining the BMC as a baritone/low tenor. Friends and family often gather around the piano at Steve's home for fun evenings of 'live' Broadway karaoke.

Cole Reilly, Ph.D.

Cole’s big family couldn’t be more unlike the Von Trapp Family singers; to this day, his un-musical siblings and Irish (not Austrian) kin insist he leads every family rendition of “Happy Birthday” … even on his own birthday. He minored in music and was in 50 plays and musicals since 10^thgrade. After not performing for about 7 years (instead focusing on his doctoral work and getting tenure at TU), Dr. Reilly began singing tenor (and sometimes bass) for the BMC in 2011 and is the group's current president.

Sotto Sopra’s 21st Birthday Party

featuring

Hot Club of Baltimore with chanteuse Alexis Tantau

Sunday, April 9th - 6pm to 9 pm – open reservations

$10 cover plus ala carte menu

Join Sotto Sopra Restaurant as we celebrate becoming legal, 21 years old on Sunday, April 9th with the Hot Club of Baltimore, a gypsy jazz group specializing in the vast repertoire of vintage jazz including early swing, musette waltzes, bebop and French standards from the 30’s and 40’s. Along with the musicians you will be treated to the song stylings from the young chanteuse Alexis Tantau who will mesmerize you with her authentic treatment of songs from Edith Piaf to Ella Fitzgerald.

Each guest who is legal, like us, 21 years old and older will receive a free glass of Prosecco and entered into a raffle for gifts throughout the evening: i.e. Opera Night for 4 people, a bottle of Sassicaia and more.

Executive Chef and Owner Riccardo Bosio opened Sotto Sopra back in 1996 on April 9th, on his 23rd birthday, so be sure to sing Happy Birthday to him that evening as well.

Riccardo, “I have sponsored many Italian chefs during the years. Some became and still are staple names in Baltimore restaurants; some went back to Italy and became successful restaurateurs. I'm proud of what I have contributed to Baltimore! Most certainly, however, none of it could have happened without the help and dedication of hundreds of very patient and compassionate employees who believed in my vision and helped me make it a reality and the many loyal patrons who continue to support Sotto Sopra.”

Mark your calendars; make a reservation 410 625 0534 for Sotto Sopra’s 21st birthday April 9th – join the party.

‘Raising funds to fight breast cancer’

Two friends gather in Sotto Sopra’s kitchen to create a five course dinner, Annette Harris and Carol Black.

As they venture into Sotto Sopra’s kitchen they aren’t quite sure what trouble they might stir up but in the end they are raising money to support Black’s daughter Rachel and her 39 mile walk in the Avon39 Walk to find a cure for breast cancer. Sotto Sopra is pleased to donate $10 for every dinner prepared by our chefs-for-the-day to this worthy cause.
