**[PRENOTAZIONI QUI](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/rassegna-gratuita-concerti-in-cortile-iovine-musica-arbereshe-tickets-1989461258178?aff=oddtdtcreator)** Domenica 24 maggio alle ore 17.00, la **rassegna gratuita** “Concerti in cortile” prosegue con Iovine e il concerto “Musica Arbëreshë”, in programma presso Slow Mill, in Via Volturno 32 a Milano. **L’ARTISTA** Iovine è un musicista, cantautore e autore di origine arbëresh, nato a Pallagorio. Da anni vive e lavora in Lombardia, mantenendo però un legame profondo con la propria terra e con la tradizione musicale delle sue origini, che rappresentano il cuore della sua ricerca artistica. Nel 2007 fonda il gruppo du.du.à, di cui è frontman, autore e compositore. I brani, scritti in lingua arbëreshe, affrontano temi legati al territorio e alla cultura d’origine, attraversando con naturalezza diversi linguaggi musicali, dal rock al blues, dal country alla musica popolare. Nel suo percorso da solista prosegue questa esplorazione, affiancando alla dimensione identitaria una scrittura autobiografica e un forte legame con il cantautorato. La sua presenza all’interno della rassegna rappresenta bene lo spirito di “Concerti in cortile”: proporre occasioni culturali capaci di unire persone, valorizzare la pluralità delle esperienze e rendere gli spazi condivisi del quartiere luoghi vivi di incontro, ascolto e partecipazione. L’iniziativa si inserisce all’interno del progetto Oltre la scuola, realizzato da DeP e finanziato da MMCasa. Slow Mill è gestito dall’Associazione Dora e Pajtimit APS. Il tesseramento annuale all’Associazione (€5, drink incluso) è obbligatorio per i maggiorenni. Per tesserarsi qui: **[bit.ly/sociodep](http://bit.ly/sociodep)**

Join us for a cozy evening of authentic Turkish food and great conversation at Taste of Istanbul! What started as a favorite at local farmers markets has grown into one of Northern Virginia’s hidden gems, serving freshly prepared Turkish specialties including doner, chicken and beef kofte kebabs, wraps, homemade baked goods, and delicious vegetarian options. Their warm hospitality and homemade flavors make this the perfect spot for a relaxed and memorable group dinner. Because the restaurant is small and intimate, I’m keeping this meetup limited in size so everyone can comfortably enjoy the experience and connect with each other. Please only RSVP if you genuinely plan to attend, and be sure to confirm your attendance the day before the event. We often have a waitlist, and last-minute cancellations can prevent others from joining. If your plans change, please update your RSVP as early as possible so someone else can take your spot. Come hungry and ready to enjoy great food, good company, and a fun night out exploring one of the area’s best Turkish restaurants!

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee is authentic, spacious, has a helpful staff, and I like their espresso. If you try this place on your own, they’re open early and late. This spot has been recommended a couple times and I think it’ll make a great stop on our journey. Come out Saturday morning for a relaxed convo. (Please keep your RSVP updated if you know you won't be able to attend, so others who can join have the opportunity to. No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun. Just be respectful and we'll be alright. Pay your own way, and enjoy!)

Let's chat! The purpose of this event is to meet and connect with like-minded investors and to grow our network. Great opportunity to network with investors, lenders, brokers, operators and business leaders. We can all share what we want and need as well as help and bring value to the rest of the community. We will meet at the Ono Brewing Company, 4520 Daly Dr. Ste 102 Chantilly, VA 20151

**In a time of division and isolation, come be part of the community that's rebuilding the town square, one table at a time.** In BreadBreakers, we use the common space of the dining table to have conversations where neighbors can **hear, be heard, and know one another.** If you're hungry for good conversation and deeper community, join us for a Community Dinner in Reston and help blaze the trail to a healthier, more connected society and democracy. Here’s how it works: For just two hours, multiple tables of people set aside the need to "win" and instead focus on sharing, listening, and connecting. Guided by experienced table hosts, we'll tell our stories, try to understand each other, and practice being in community with those with different views or backgrounds. **At this dinner, participants will get to choose between three different topics, including some current events.** Topics range from the political, to the "slice of life", to the spiritual, to the philosophical, to the off-the-wall - but no matter which table you choose to sit at, you can be sure it'll be like no dinner conversation you've had before! You can also **suggest a topic** by emailing us at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com. Food will be provided for free. For those who wish to provide a donation to help fund BreadBreakers, you can [give here](https://pushpay.com/g/restorationrestonumc?fnd=pO6G-N7oO7FH7Mp1u-x6mA&fndv=Lock&r=No&lang=en&src=pcgl) or at the event. We'll have vegetarian and gluten-free options available. If you have any additional dietary restrictions (Celiac Disease, vegan, etc.) please let us know at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com so that we can implement the appropriate food handling procedures. **Join us, invite a friend, and be a part of the movement to mend our fractured society and normalize a better way of talking with one another.** BreadBreakers, an initiative by [Restoration United Methodist Church](https://restorationreston.org/breadbreakers) in Reston, VA, is a religiously inclusive community. We are a collaboration between people of all faiths and stripes. Our leadership, volunteer team, and community include people who attend Restoration and people who don't.
