Overview

Award-winning singer and PBS-TV host for Andrea Bocelli, Il Volo and Michael Buble,
CRISTINA FONTANELLI  (https://cristinafontanelli.combrings her program of Italy’s best-loved songs, arias, Neapolitan and Christmas classics during her 19th-Annual “Christmas In Italy®” concert on Saturday, December 17 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.  The concert is a 501 c-3 charitable production giving young people performance opportunities and raising funds for St. Jean's and children's causes such as St. Jude's Hospital.  Called a “Vocal genius” by the New York Sun, Ms. Fontanelli’s musical vision is  a love letter to her Italian heritage and a tribute to her grandparents.  “I began this beloved annual Holiday tradition to preserve Italy’s great classic and popular songs and to teach them, and more importantly the values they represent, to younger generations. And help audiences experience the joy of growing up Italian at Christmastime. This year, during this humanitarian crisis of the corona virus affecting the whole world, "Christmas in Italy®" will take on even more of a deeply spiritual aspect to it, in addition to continuing to be highly entertaining as audiences have become accustomed to for the past 19 years. ” says Ms. Fontanelli. [HEADLINE:] “Cristina Fontanelli, Preserving Values Through Opera” The Epoch TimesJanuary 2014   http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/395522-cristina-fontanelli-preserving-values-through-opera/    Guest tenor,  accompanist, guitarist, accordionist and other artists/musicians T/B/A,  Mandolinist Joyce Balint (Metropolitan Opera/NY Philharmonic).  The youth of the Dream Studio for the Performing Arts (Staten Island; Melissa Ottaviano/founder) and the  The Genesis Choir of Xaverian High School (6th - 8th Grades) will sing "Let it Snow" and the traditional Italian Christmas Carol "Tu scendi dalle stelle", led by Zoe Vinegar.
