DONDINO FILMS IN WASHINGTON DC "LET FREEDOM RING"

Dondino arriving to America from Italy (center)




















































Dondino and 150 Nevada Cathedral choir members traveled to Washington DC to sing the original song by Dondino "Let Freedom Ring"

Senator Harry Reid invited Dondino and the Cathedral Choir to sing for the African American Summit and for all the US Senators.

Nevada Congresswoman Shelley Berkley invited Dondino and the Choir to sing for the Congressional Black Caucus. She also hosted a reception luncheon at her home in Washington DC for Dondino and the Cathedral Choir.

Nevada Senator John Ensign assisted Dondino and the Choir with tours to the White House and Capitol.

"Let Freedom Ring" has been nominated in the Library of Congress, of which only 50 songs are selected each year.

Former Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn sent Dondino and the Cathedral Choir a congratulations letter telling them how great the song is and that he expects Let Freedom Ring song to become a big hit.

While in Washington DC a video was taped of Dondino and the Cathedral Choir singing Let Freedom Ring at many of the National Monuments, giving the video a wonderful patriotic emotion.

The video can be seen on Dondino's website http://www.dondinoshow.com/ and on http://www.youtube.com/ (enter the words Dondino)
