FEATURING
SOPRANO

Diana DiMarzio

Experience the beauty and drama of the Italian cinema. Cinema Italiano can be customized for your venue, festival, orchestra or symphony pops concert.

Cinema Italiano

Salutes the many contributions Italian film composers have made to the film industry. This vocal concert treats music lovers to an evening of nostalgia, fun, and romance as they listen to some of the screen sagas’ best remembered songs from composers such as Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone, Henry Mancini and more. These composers drew upon Italian musical traditions to add a sense of familial and cultural depth to these great Italian films. They tugged at our heartstrings and celebrated Italy’s unique sounds and spirit.

 

This celebratory concert provides listeners, regardless of their background, with a deeper appreciation for the positive significant contributions made by Italians to our civilization, especially in the arts.
